How to Customize Large to Small Scale Print Products

Follow these steps to create the custom printing product you need for every kind of promotion: 

 

Order an offset printing or sign product. 

  • Offset printing is the technique used to transfer an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface. It ensures high-quality output for large quantities. It is the method used for bulk printing orders such as brochures, flyers, posters, postcards, and business cards. 
  • Sign printing is for larger format displays such as banners, window clings, yard signs, plastic signs, flags, and magnets. The sign you print will depend on the material and the size.  

 

Combine width and length specs that will garner attention at a glanceWidths start from 2” up to 26”. Heights also go from 2” to as tall as 18”. If you want to see how the final design will appear before it’s printed, select “Wait – I want to receive and approve a free PDF proof” after uploading your file. 

 

You can also use our online design tool to load a blank canvas in the size selected. 

 

Print on sturdy paper or cardstock to showcase the reliability or luxury of your brand. Promoting a new product line or a store opening to a bigger audience? Let customers feel they can trust your company with thick paper or cardstock. Coat paper with elegant matte or gloss finishes highlighting the premium quality of your items. Below are the sturdiest options available for paper and cardstock: 

  • 80 lb. paper has a similar feel to a magazine cover. It’s slightly thicker than standard paper and comes in gloss or matte coating to protect the surface. 
  • 100 lb. paper is a little thicker than most magazine covers but a little thinner than cardstock. Recommended for brochures, flyers, and other promotions customers can keep on hand.  
  • 14 pt. cardstock is the standard material used for business cards. It can withstand multiple handling and comes in coatings that protect it from fingerprints 
  • 16 pt. cardstock is slightly thicker than the 14 pt. Recommended for business cards or other promotional tools handed out to VIP clients. It gives them the impression you value their business, while also putting your best “face” forward in introducing yourself. 
  • 17 pt. cardstock is the most rigid cardstock available and comes in an uncoated, writable surface. It has the most upscale vibe and the elegant texture gives it that extra high-end feel.  

 

Print a set of cut-to-size stickers or labels to display indoors. Need a set of individual labels to quickly apply on your products? Order 70 lb. label in matte, gloss, or high-gloss UV so that your item and company name are easy to read from a glance.  

 

Signs come in the following materials, depending on how they’re displayed: 

  • For paper signs: semi or high gloss that suit temporary displays in frames or inside the store. 
  • Vinyl in standard 13 oz., 15 oz, or 9 oz. mesh that lasts outdoors. The mesh is built to withstand wind, while the 13 and 15 oz. last years on display outside. 
  • Static cling or perforated adhesive vinyl for window clings. The removable structure makes it perfect for temporary signs and for reapplying in other areas. 
  • Magnetic stock for placing on your car while it’s making deliveries. 
  • Canvas for high-resolution photos or artwork displays. 
  • Adhesive fabric for displays on walls and other interiors.

“I used Uprinting 20 days ago to print 2,000 copies of a board game instruction. The price they quoted me online is inexpensive and reasonable. I never used their service before but I took a leap of faith to give it a try due to their excellent pricing and the professional look of the website. After 15 days, I got my order. They are beautiful and perfect! I was very impressed and happy. I am relatively picky on printing quality in general, but I am very satisfied with Uprinting's printing job. In particular, their customer service people are so good. Dale helped me during the process. For the first-time user like me, it is very helpful and reassuring. My advice to people who want to use Uprinting is to prepare an excellent PDF and make sure to upload the file right. And always ask for a proof. Be patient if you don't get your order on time. After all, it is a big company, and there are a lot of printing jobs going on. You can always track down your order by phone and email services. Two thumbs up for Uprinting! I will use them again.”

Q:
Can you print 100 Gospel tracts? 2 pages with 4 sides
Asked 8 months ago by Malini P.
A:

This would fall under our Brochures product. It would be a full page, folded in half to have four sides. If you need two separate pages, you may look into our Newsletter product. 

Q:
I am not seeing any font options. Help please.
Asked 8 months ago by Christine N.
A:

If you are on the Design Tool ("Create Your Design Online " option), you need to click on the letter icon ("ABC"). Once you click on that, a text box will appear and the text menu becomes clickable.  You can then  choose from different fonts, text size, color and opacity. 

Q:
i want a finish that can be written on and wiped clean with alcohol for multiple use or do you have lamination.
Asked 8 months ago by jamekia
A:

You may wish to check out Foam Boards that can be laminated with a Dry Erase surface where you can use Eraseable markers to write on it.

Q:
Hi Can you print 2 large PDF documents, if so we need two copies of each document.
Asked 8 months ago by Jamie N.
A:

If you only need two copies it does not sound like it is something we could do specially if this is a multi pagevdocument or a brcohure. However, if it is a poster or large format job, it is doable. Please give us a call and provide some details of the exact product you need. 

Q:
Hello, I wanted to be sure that you honor tax-exempt organizations before I look any further. If so, what is the process? Every company does it a little differently, and some make it more difficult than it needs to be.... Thank you!
