Same Day Printing in St. Louis

MCI Printing offers same day printing in St. Louis, MO on business cards, flyers, postcards, posters, and signage. We have in-house digital and large-format presses at our South County shop at 10017 Office Center Ave, so we can preflight, print, and finish without sending work out. As a WBE certified union shop since 1984, we handle rush jobs without rush-job quality drops. Call (314) 849-7228 by 10am for same-day turnaround.

For same-day pickup, send your print-ready file by 10am on a business day and call (314) 849-7228 to confirm. Smaller jobs that need only digital printing — business cards, flyers, postcards under 500 pieces — can usually be ready by close of business. Larger quantities, complex finishing, or jobs that need design work typically push to next-day. We will tell you on the call whether same-day is realistic for your job.

Same-day and 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.

Same-day works best for digital jobs: business cards, flyers, postcards, brochures (under 500), letterhead, NCR forms, foam-core signs, and event posters. Same-day does not work well for offset printing (needs plates), perfect-bound books, custom packaging, or large mail merge runs — those need at least 24–72 hours. Call (314) 849-7228 and we will tell you straight whether your job fits same-day.

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 for same-day orders, including Clayton, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, and Belleville, IL. Tell us which works better when you place the order.

Yes. If your file misses the 10am same-day cutoff, 24-hour rush is the next option — we can print and finish overnight for next-business-day pickup. This works for larger quantities, jobs that need bindery (folding, scoring, drilling), and pieces too large for our same-day window. Call (314) 849-7228 to confirm; we will not promise 24 hours if the press schedule cannot support it.

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.
