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.

  • Perforation to set apart a special discount or coupon customers can use on their next purchase. It also works for correspondences on return forms. 
  • Rounded corners to make the corners of your postcard or business card sleeker. 
  • Hole drilling in 1/8”, 3/16”, and ¼” diameters if you need to bind the information with rings. You can also add them to hang tags or anything that will be displayed similarly.

“I'm a little surprised with the way Uprinting packs their materials. I've been using them a lot and so often the sheets are bent up on the sides of my order. You guys really need to learn how to pack better. Paper loosely wrapped around the sheets does not cut it.”

“The size was right. But the printing was really dark. I was not happy with the job. I wish someone from quality control would have reached out to discuss with me before moving ahead. This is the second job in one month that came back not so great. I received a refund on the first. But it doesn't make me look good to the client.”

Q:
What are your shipping costs for photos? 8x10, 18x24 for example.
Asked 9 months ago by Noel s.
A:

The shipping and handling costs can vary depending on the quantity and location of where we ship to. You can actually estimate the shipping cost on the website. Start in the Configure and Price area where you can specify  your size dimensions, material and quantity of each artwork. Then you can estimate the shipping cost by inputting your zip code.

Q:
Can a large production of unique cardstock be produced. Looking to do 25k - 50k unique QR cards - One side will be the same artwork across all prints - Other side has a unique Qr meant for each individual scan.
Asked 9 months ago by Vijay
A:

We will not be able to quote for this as each unique QR code will be a separate design or job.

Q:
66“ x 27“ copy photo or print of an existing photograph I have framed which is 66“ x 27“ I would need four copies is it possible this is not a sign I will be placing it on foam board and framing it for all my children. Thank you very much.
Asked 9 months ago by Rhonda W.
A:

We would actually need the soft copy or file copy of the image you printed for us to check if we can reproduce it at that size. Having the physical copy only would not be possible for us to print off that. There are certain photo restoration applications on the internet that could possibly resolve this or you could hire a professonal graphic designer to do this for you.

Q:

Van Nuys Pick-up Location

Q:
I’m looking for custom black 3.5x2.5 cards with gold embossing on them, is this something you can do? Or the raised printing in gold?
Asked 9 months ago by Rachel
A:

Please take a look at our Foil Business Cards. However, since that size you mentioned is not standard, you would need to speak to one of our Custom Representatives to get a quote.  However, we can also do Gold Embossed and you may speak to the same representative about that.
