Same Day Printing is our fastest service tier, utilizing advanced digital technology to bypass the setup times of traditional offset printing. To guarantee this rapid turnaround, this service is exclusively available for Basic Trimmed Products printed on our premium Standard House Stock. Please note that to maintain the speed of this service, we cannot accommodate custom paper orders, specialty printing effects (such as foil or embossing), or multi-page documents requiring binding. This tier is strictly for flat, cut-to-size items that are ready to go immediately off the press.

Most Popular Same Day Products & Sizes:

  • Business Cards: 3.5" x 2" (Standard) or 3.5" x 2.5".

Features of Our Same Day Service

  • The 11:00 AM Cut-Off Guarantee To ensure fairness and reliability, we operate on a strict schedule. Orders with approved files confirmed by 11:00 AM are guaranteed to enter our production queue immediately. This disciplined workflow allows us to maintain a 99% on-time completion rate for our Same Day Printing clients.

  • CMYK Digital Printing (Not Copier Quality) Many "rush" shops use standard office laser copiers. We do not. We utilize Hi-End Production digital presses. This delivers vibrant color fidelity and sharp text that rivals traditional Offset Printing, ensuring your rushed marketing materials look professional, not hasty.

  • Instant Dry & Finishing Options Our Same Day service is optimized for speed. While we cannot offer glue-based binding (like perfect binding) on a same-day timeline due to drying requirements, we offer rapid finishing options including Cutting, Scoring, and Wire-O Binding. This allows you to pick up finished reports by the end of the business day.

Why Choose Digital City Printing?

  • Strategic Midtown Location Located at 519 8th Avenue (near 36th St), we are steps away from Penn Station and the Port Authority, making us the most accessible Local Print Shop for commuters. You can easily drop off files or pick up your finished job on your way to or from the office.

  • Reliable NYC Messenger Delivery Stuck in a meeting? We offer a trusted messenger courier service that delivers to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Whether you are at the Javits Center or a hotel, we ensure your Rush Printing order reaches you.

  • Capacity & Equipment Redundancy We operate multiple HP Indigo presses and industrial cutters. If one machine goes down for maintenance, we have backup systems in place. This redundancy ensures that your Postcard Printing order is not delayed by technical issues.

Reliable Speed When It Counts

In a fast-paced city like New York, reliable speed is a currency. At Digital City Printing, our Same Day Printing service is designed to be the safety net for your business. We understand that emergency meetings, last-minute event changes, and urgent client requests happen. By combining our central Midtown Manhattan location with state-of-the-art HP Indigotechnology, we provide a solution that is both fast and flawless.

We do not just print fast; we print smart. Our team performs a quick "flight check" on your files to ensure your bleed and resolution are correct before hitting the press. When you pick up your order after 5:00 PM, you can be confident that your Business Cards, Flyers, or Posters will represent your brand perfectly. Trust NYC’s leading Digital Printing Service to meet your deadline today.

Frequently Asked Questions: Same Day Printing NYC | FAQ

loader-image

Answer: Yes, Same Day Business Cards are one of our most popular rush services. We print them on our standard high-quality house stocks (14pt or 16pt, Matte or Gloss). Please note that specialty finishes like foil stamping, embossing, or painted edges require more production time and are not available for same-day pickup.

Answer: Yes. Absolutely. We understand that many of our clients are visiting for trade shows. We offer a reliable messenger courier service that delivers to all major NYC hotels and convention centers, including the Javits Center. When you place your Rush Printing order, simply provide the specific delivery address and onsite contact number.

Answer:  For speed and accuracy, we require a Print-Ready PDF file. It must be set to 300 DPI resolution and include a 0.125" bleed if the image goes to the edge of the paper. Since Graphic Design takes time, we cannot offer design adjustments on same-day orders; your file must be ready to go directly to the press.

Answer: Our standard Same Day Printing production operates Monday through Friday. However, for large commercial projects or emergency corporate events, we may be able to open our facility for weekend production by special appointment. Please call us at 212-244-1254 to check weekend availability and pricing.

Answer: Yes, but it depends on the binding type. We can produce Saddle-Stitched (stapled) or Wire-O Bound Booklets on the same day because they do not require glue to dry. However, Perfect Bound (softcover) books generally require 24 hours for the thermal glue to cure properly, so we recommend our overnight service for those.

Answer: The cost varies based on the product, quantity, and paper stock. Rush orders generally incur a priority "rush fee" to move your job to the front of the line. For the most accurate price, we recommend using our online Request a Quote form or calling us directly. We are transparent about pricing and will confirm the total cost before we begin printing.

Rush Printing Terms & Conditions

Rush Service Availability & Production Terms At Digital City Printing, we are committed to providing the fastest possible turnaround in NYC. However, please note that our Rush Service slots are limited and fill up very quickly each day. To maintain our quality standards, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis and reserve the right to decline new rush orders once our daily production capacity has been reached. We highly recommend calling us early (before 10:00 AM) to secure your spot.

Production Contingency: While we maintain a 99% on-time success rate, we are a manufacturing facility. In rare instances, delivery times may be affected by unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to machine breakdown, equipment maintenance, or power outages. In the unlikely event that we cannot meet your specific deadline due to these operational issues, a member of our team will contact you immediately to discuss alternative solutions or refunds.
