Rush Printing in St. Louis

Our guaranteed rush turnaround is 2 business days on most digital jobs — business cards, flyers, postcards, posters, and foam-core signs — when you have a print-ready file. Standard jobs are ready in 3–5 business days, and large offset runs or complex bindery may take 5–10. Call (314) 849-7228 and we will confirm a firm date for your job.

Our fastest guaranteed turnaround is 2 business days. We do not advertise same-day printing because we will not promise a deadline we cannot keep — on a busy production day, same-day is not realistic, and a blown deadline helps no one. If you are on an extreme timeline, call (314) 849-7228 and we will look at the press schedule and tell you straight what is possible.

Rush printing typically runs 25–50% above our standard pricing, depending on the job, file readiness, and what else is on the press that day. We do not surprise you — when you call, we quote both the rush price and the standard turnaround price so you can choose. Print-ready files keep rush costs lower; files that need preflight cleanup or design work cost more.

Rush works best for digital jobs: business cards, flyers, postcards, brochures (under 500), letterhead, NCR forms, foam-core signs, and event posters. Rush does not work well for offset printing (needs plates), perfect-bound books, custom packaging, or large mail-merge runs — those need more lead time. Call (314) 849-7228 and we will tell you straight whether your job fits a 2-day rush.

Yes — print-ready files speed everything up. Send a PDF with 0.125" bleed on all sides, fonts embedded, and images at 300 DPI minimum. If you have an InDesign, Illustrator, or Canva file, send it and we will check it, but plan for a little extra time. For rush jobs we cannot stop to redo missing bleeds or low-resolution images, so the cleaner the file, the faster the job.

Both. Most customers pick up at our shop at 10017 Office Center Ave in South County — we are off I-270 and I-55, easy access from Lindbergh or Tesson Ferry. We also offer free local delivery across the St. Louis metro, including Clayton, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, and Belleville, IL. Tell us which works better when you place the order.

Yes — we run the same presses, same stocks, and the same union pressroom team on rush jobs. The only thing that changes is the schedule. We do not cut corners on color matching, paper quality, or finishing. The reason rush jobs cost more is that we reshuffle the press schedule to fit your job in, not because we use lower-grade materials.

Call (314) 849-7228 or upload your print-ready file online. Tell us your deadline up front — we will confirm whether a 2-business-day rush is realistic before you commit, quote both rush and standard pricing, and give you a firm pickup or delivery date. No surprises.
