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.

June 21, 2021 by Bonnie1028
“The cards advertised as 'Postcards' are so thin I'm not sure how they can be considered 'Postcards'. The description says they are 100 lb which should be more like cardboard. I'm ordering more from another vender and use these just for backup to be sent in an envelope. They definitely cannot be consider 'Postcards'.”

“This was the worst experience we've ever had with Uprinting. We submitted the order with the graphics as we have multiple times before and never received a proof email. 24-26 hours later I contacted the "live chat" online to find out why we hadn't received a proof. After apologizing multiple times to me, she finally told me that the graphic wasn't high enough quality and we need to submit it again. When I ask why didn't you let us know she had no answer for me at all. We submitted a higher quality graphic and they sent us a proof within 3-4 hours and we approved it. I was assured and even promised, that since Uprinting had been at fault they would make sure that we received our order by our deadline date of Wednesday April 7th. On Monday April 5th when I checked my emails for a tracking number there was not one, but the website indicated the order was still in production. I contacted the "live chat" again to confirm that the order would be delivered by Wednesday April 7th, as I was promised and as the website was saying and they assured me that it would be. On Tuesday morning I checked the website and my emails for a tracking number or an update on my order and there was none. Once again I contacted customer service to find out where things were at and make sure that we would receive our shipment by Wednesday April 7th as the website still had posted and I had been promised. However, they couldn't get any answer from production to confirm what was happening with the order and why it hadn't already shipped. I was then promised that the CSR abigail.a@Uprinting.com would email me by the end of the day with the tracking number because production told her it would be shipped before the end of the day with special overnight delivery. On Wednesday morning I checked for that email and it was not there. I checked the website and the order was still shown to be in production but would be delivered on April 7th, that very same day! I called the 888 number to speak to a CSR personally to determine what was going on. I was put on hold for several minutes waiting for production to get back with the CSR and they never did. The CSR promised me that the order would be delivered to me by the end of the day! I asked him, "So, you're telling me that this order that is still in production in California, will be completed, packed and shipped to me and it will arrive in Durant OK within the next 6 hours???" His answer, "Yes, we will have it there by the end of the day." "Production hasn't called me back yet, but as soon as they do I will give you a call and let you know what the tracking number is." That call never came! Thursday morning I call the 888 number again to check on the status of my order and they didn't have any answers for me. I was asked how soon I needed the order and I let them know that it was originally supposed to be delivered by Tuesday April 6th, but due to them not letting us know they needed a better graphic for 24 hours that we accepted the delivery change to the Wednesday April 7th. I was asked again, So, when do you have to have it? And I let them know that the notebook was order to accompany a newly released book that was being sold at an event on Wednesday and those sales would not have the notebook with them due to Uprinting not getting our order processed like they said they would. We have had to sell the newly released book at 3 separate events without the notebook that we order from uprinting due to the lack of integrity in keeping your promise to get the notebook prepared, shipped and delivered in a timely manner. This has been an extremely disappointing situation and as frustrating as it was disappointing due to the inability to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about and could actually get something done!

“I was looking forward to LIVE CHAT. When my text box activated I started to write a description of what I was looking for. Apparently I took too much time describing my project because just as I was ending my text I was notified that had been too slow and the person on the other end texted that I took too long and was cut off. Then I tried calling. I was waiting on hold whenI was offerd to have a call back. That was 1:59 it is now 3:28.”

“I purchased 100 lb paper, matte finished custom business cards. I have had a lot of printing and paper experience because I make a lot of paper goods, so I knew what I was purchasing and what it should look like. The items I received were NOT matte finished but glossy, and NOT 100 lb paper. After chatting with customer service they said they couldn't offer me any refund or reprint then but would follow up with a phone call in the next 24-48 hours. They never called. I am greatly disappointed that I am not getting what I payed for. If my order was printed as they say it was, if you know anything about paper, this paper is not 100 lb quality but basically typical printer paper (20-32 lb), and the "matte" finish is as glossy as magazine paper, so get your printing somewhere else if you are looking for anything higher quality than that.”
