How do I place an order?

Follow these four steps to select your product, upload your artwork, and submit your order.

01 Select Your Product

  • Choose your product. Browse the Products menu or start from our Home page.
  • Configure your order. Use the product’s price calculator to select quantity, size, paper stock, color, turnaround, and other available options. Your price appears once all required selections are complete.
  • Upload your artwork. Under “Upload Files,” click “Select” and choose your file. For multiple files, use the additional upload fields or combine your files into a ZIP folder.
  • Estimate shipping. Enter your ZIP or postal code under “Estimate Shipping” and click “Get Rates.”

02 Add to Cart & Review

  • Add your product. Click “Add to Cart” after making your selections and attaching your artwork.
  • Make changes if needed. Use “Edit” to update quantities or attachments, “Remove” to delete an item, or “Continue Shopping” to add more products.
  • Log in or create an account. Sign in to select your shipping method and delivery address, then return to your saved cart.
  • Review your order. Confirm your products, shipping method, and delivery address, then click “Proceed to Checkout.”

03 Checkout & Pay

  • Apply your promotion code. Enter your code and click “Apply Promo Code” before submitting your order. Promotion codes cannot be applied after submission.
  • Add order details. Enter your purchase order number, cost center number, or additional instructions where applicable.
  • Check the final summary. Review all details. Use “Edit quantities or shipping options” if you need to make changes.
  • Submit and pay. Click “Submit Order and Pay with Credit Card” and complete the payment instructions. A PayPal account is not required to pay by credit card.

04 Approve Your Proof

  • Review your requested proof. For a PDF softproof, use the link in our email to view and approve your artwork. If you requested a hard copy proof, we will send it by mail or courier.
  • Submit your approval. Approve a softproof through the emailed approval link. Return a signed hard copy approval by mail or fax.
  • Check everything before approving. Changes cannot be made after proof approval.
  • Production can begin. Your turnaround starts once your print-ready files, full payment, and any required proof approval have been received, subject to the cutoff time.
Proof cutoff: 8:00 AM. Orders or proofs approved after 8:00 AM begin their production turnaround the next business day.

Standard and Rush production options are listed on the applicable product pages. Advertised turnaround times reflect typical production under normal circumstances and exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

We make every effort to meet your target deadline. However, equipment breakdowns, illness, weather, delivery disruptions, acts of nature, and other unforeseen events may cause delays.

Have a specific deadline? Contact us before ordering to discuss production and delivery timing.

Yes, if a proof has been requested. Production will not begin until we receive your proof approval.

  • PDF softproof: approve through the emailed approval link.
  • Hard copy proof: return your signed approval by mail or fax.

Review your artwork carefully. Changes cannot be made after approval.
