Smartpress

Local Kinko’s wanted $ 3/​each for Bat Mitzvah programs so I briefly searched online and found Smartpress, along with the positive Unilocal reviews. Programs were less than $ 1/​each. I ordered the paper sample packet, which was extremely helpful. SP staff was knowledgeable and responsive. EXCELLENT customer service, beautiful programs, high quality paper and printing. Received many compliments on the program. Have recommended them to many others. Would not hesitate to use them again.

was my wedding savior. After searching high and wide for a site that help me do all my paper/​stationery affordably (and not finding one), I decided to work with individual designers on Etsy and print them myself. Smartpress could not have made it easier for me. I recommend ordering the pack of samples so you know what you’re getting, but their instructions are easy to follow and someone with an actual name (!) emails you with the proofs for approval. I spent hours designing my own placecards, but didn’t have the bleed marks right, Smartpress emailed me after I placed the order and walked me through exactly how to fix it so I didn’t get a box of 200 messed up placecards. I’ve recommended them to other friends who don’t want to spend their life savings on paper, and have used them since!

As a graphic designer and a business owner, I have never known another printing company that stands behind their work like SmartPress does. The printing is always professional quality (which is the thing you look for first and foremost), but often with high quality printers you also have high prices, slow turn around, and/​or bad customer service. All of these things are top notch at SmartPress! I once had a banner shipped to me with a printer error (something that is very rare from them) and they re-​printed and overnighted the new banner to me at no charge. I still had a few problems with my customer, but SmartPress did all they could to make it right and I appreciate that. I work with Jeff more than anyone else and he always makes sure that I have everything when I need it and that there is no guess work when it comes to quicker turnaround time or shipping upgrades. A+++!

I’ve done 2 print jobs in the last 2 months with Smartpress. One where I had them ship a proof and one with an «e proof.» Both jobs were completed quickly and at a reasonable price. (One of the jobs cost around $ 350 where a local printer quoted over $ 1000.) I submitted the first order at 3:30 and they shipped my hard proof that afternoon. Very satisfied. Smartpress is awesome.

I had my Save the Dates postcards for my wedding printed through this company and would highly recommend! They are fast to respond, professional and knowledgeable to all the numerious questions I had for them! There was a slight mistake in my prints however nothing damaging so I was able to still send them out. But the company quickly offered a discount to make up for any disatisfaction which I appreciated. Great customer service, excellent work and very affordable! :)

I did a thorough and intensive search for a printing company that was of good quality and reasonably priced to print my wedding invites. I stumbled upon Smartpress and after great reviews on Unilocal and various wedding forums, I went with them and I am very happy with my decision.
I first ordered their cardstock sample packet so I could see and feel all of their options. Once I figured out which cardstock I wanted to use (they have lots of great options in regards to weight and colors), I uploaded my design to the website and within a matter of hours, I had a pdf proof from Kathy in my email. Kathy made sure I knew exactly what I was getting before I approved the order and she was also quick to reply with all correspondences. A few days after I finalized my order, I ended up getting a coupon in my email and they were nice enough to apply the coupon credit even though my order was already in the mail.
I just got my order in the mail today and I’m really happy with the quality and it is exactly how I wanted them to look. I will definitely be using them in the future for all of my printing needs.

I love Smartpress. I found them when I was looking for a quality, affordable printer for my wedding invitations. In my business, I have worked with many local printers, but I wasn’t impressed with the quality enough to use them for my own wedding. Smartpress staff was easy to work with, very helpful and made a great product. My invitations were beautiful. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I have recommended them to many friends and will continue to use them.

I can’t say enough good things about this company! I’m getting married in August and decided to design my own invitations. I finally finished the designs for my invite, RSVP card and additional information cards. I knew I wanted a silver pearlescent paper so I searched online and happened upon
. Pricing was great and turnaround seemed quick enough. I ordered 80 of each with a hard copy proof. Proofs came today and they look great! The color isn’t distorted at all from what was shown on my screen. I’m very impressed. The open communication regarding job progress is awesome as well. I’m never left wondering what’s going on; it’s all self-​contained. I’m very happy I went with them! Definitely will be using them should I need printing services again.

These guys were great. I sent them the artwork, and used the 1 day expedited and within a few hours everything was ready to approve. Once I approved it, they got it printed quickly got it out the door and shipped it to me quickly. I had it in time for the event I needed it for and am extremely happy with the finished product. I didn’t have enough time to ask for samples of paper to review, but the explanations on the website were accurate and what I received was what I expected. Prices were super reasonable and next time I need some printing hopefully I won’t wait until the last minute and I’ll be able to save even more on the expedite charges. I’ll use these guys again.

I discovered smartpress when I was trying to find affordable NICE printing for my daughters 1^st birthday invitations. Since then I have opened my own business designing various invitations and I use Smartpress for EVERYTHING. They really are amazing. The turn around time is great, the quality is amazing and they send you free samples of paper, envelopes stickers, anything you need.
The customer service is by far the best. It is better then any local printer I have worked with. I actually got faster response and better service from Smartpress then I did from various local printers I tried to work with in my own city. They get back to you right away, answer your questions via their system through your order.
They are also very patient. I change my designs a lot and have clients that change their mind over and over. Smart press staff is extremely accommodating. Shout out to all the peeps I work with on a regular basis… Emily, Kathy, Charlie, Kyle, Christi and Rhea. You guys are so awesome, thanks for everything you do

* The guys at SmartPress ALWAYS answer the phone.
* Their customer service is second to none.
* The print quality of their work is outstanding.
I got myself in a situation with an unhappy customer and the guys at SP made it their mission to help me out and save my bacon! Thanks TREVOR you rock my face!
DESIGNERS! I’ve been in the biz for 17 years and not ever had a printer stand behind me like these guys! Believe it.

I’ve had such an amazing experience with Smart Press. Their customer service is seriously awesome!!! At every step I knew they cared about their quality and their customers. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

Smartpress was recommended by a friend, and boy… they are FANTASTIC! I dropped what I was doing because I’m so compelled to write after placing my second order!
I love how easy the website is to navigate and get custom quotes. Very DIY. Also, they are really great about sending samples of paper (a booklet) which makes the process so much easier.
When I placed my second order, a representative, Emily, contacted me to let me know that I could save extra money! She paid attention to my 12 projects and said I could narrow it down to 5 (with different «versions» within them since I was using the same size, paper). That saved me about $ 140. In addition, she applied a promo code (that I couldn’t use because it was placed on the cancelled first order), adjusting my total to saving even a little more money. Thank you SO much Emily!
I will definitely continue to use Smartpress, this is my go-​to printshop now!

Did some design for invitations and other printed pack-​ins for an event, and needed to get them printed. Looked at other online «upload and print» services, but I have never seen such horrible reviews for a string of businesses in my life. Smartpress, on the other hand, had a lot of good reviews, so I decided to try them out.
First, their website is very easy to use, and they have a lot of options other printers do not. They have lots of paper selections, envelope selections, and finishing options I didn’t see elsewhere (matched envelopes, rounded corners, drilling, etc.). I had some cards to print in odd sizes, and Smartpress will let you specify a custom size — I didn’t see this option at other vendors. Uploading was very easy — their website interface works very intuitively.
After putting in my initial order, someone from Smartpress added a question to the order noting that 1) I could save quite a bit of money by ordering the same things a slightly different way, and 2) that the art wasn’t sized quite right (I checked, and had indeed made a boneheaded mistake that would have been easy to miss). I really appreciated this kind of attention to detail — I cancelled that order, fixed the art, and put in a new order in the cheaper configuration. They got back to me promptly with PDF proofs, I OKed them online, and the material showed up right on time and looking great.
Prices were good to begin with, and better in the cheaper configuration.
Very, very satisfied with the end-​to-​end experience and would happily use them again.

I just used Smartpress for a small order of 75 greeting cards (25 of each design) that I will be selling at an event and I could not be more pleased!!! I am going to be lazy and take much of what ‘snack s.’ wrote about Smartpress’s stellar service.
«The print quality was spot on, the turnaround time and pricing were among the best I have found anywhere, and
has the most flawless interface I have ever encountered for a print vendor. The service was what impressed me the most I was completely blown away by the fact that any time I called them during business hours, my call was quickly answered by a Smartpress employee who magically had the answers to my questions without having to be redirected to another department. They kept me updated on my order status, and were 110% ready to ensure that my jobs were done in good time. I will be using Smartpress for every project from here on out!»
I completely agree on every point. Thank you Smartpress!

Horrible to work with. I went to them for several projects. Uploaded my files, altered a couple things with their reps, approved the online proofs and waited for the goods. Once I received everything though I noticed MANY things were wrong. What I had approved was NOT what I got. Multiple specs were off or wrong. I called them up but they refused to fix my order.
They even stated that they had not done what was approved. I’m shocked that even with this admission they would not honor their own guarantee policy.
I couldn’t even get a refund.
Be wary and careful if using their services.

I used Smartpress to print my wedding reception invites after having issues with another online printing press. Ordering was easy and they turned out great.

I used
to print my Save the Dates. The site was recommended by the artist who designed our postcards.
Our Save the Dates were ordered from an etsy shop, it’s one of those deals where I paid for a pdf copy of the artwork. I looked into getting them printed locally and at some other online shops. In the end, I just didn’t care enough to spend $ 100 locally and
had lowest online price ($ 40 for 90 full color front and back postcards).
The website was really easy to use. Getting a quote was a breeze. I really liked their pricing calculator. It was not complicated to what all the features cost. I also appreciated that I was able to calculate the cost without submitting my name/​address/​images etc. Once I had my cost calculated I just uploaded the pdfs the etsy artist had given me and waited for them to send me a proof. I choose not to get a hard copy of the proof because I just didn’t care enough to spend the extra money. I submitted my order on a Sunday and by 11 am they had my proof ready. Later in the afternoon I said «okay» and the following Monday I had my Save the Dates.
My Save the Dates look pretty good to me. I didn’t go to art school nor do have a degree in printmaking. I appreciate beautiful paper and type pressed invites but in this situation I didn’t want that. I just wanted some postcards printed to remind people that I am getting married and I didn’t want to spend a fortune. So if that’s what you want then do this: go to etsy find yourself a pdf save the date, come here, and get them printed cheap and quick.

I used them to print over a hundred programs for a conference that I put together. I was hesitant to use them, especially since I did not have time to get a hard copy proof, but if YOU follow their directions, your product will turn out fine. I was very pleased with the quality of the product and the customer service that I received during the review/​proofing process. When I asked Kyle to make edits to my program, he was quick to do so, and he did exactly what I wanted him to do. The website also notifies you anytime there is an activity (proof available, shipping, etc), so you know what is going on. My programs were wonderful and arrived in perfect condition! And I purchased them for a bargain (when compared to other printing stores). This site provides a great value and great quality as well. I highly recommend their services.

I’m a graphic designer and ordered a variety of different items from Smartpress for a conference. The print quality was spot on, the turnaround time and pricing were among the best I have found anywhere, and
has the most flawless interface I have ever encountered for a print vendor. The service was what impressed me the most. I was completely blown away by the fact that any time I called them during business hours, my call was quickly answered by a Smartpress employee who magically had the answers to my questions without having to be redirected to another department. They got all of my orders out on time (despite the fact that I probably drove them crazy with some last-​minute changes), were willing to handle my special requests, kept me updated on my order status, and were 110% ready to ensure that my jobs were done in good time. I will be using Smartpress for every project from here on out!
Edit: I used Smartpress for another conference, and experienced amazing service once again. They were generating proofs for me to review over the weekend in the middle of the night. Best of all, I had neglected to convert my colors to CMYK, which would have caused complete disaster for the shade of blue that I wanted. They could tell that my files weren’t going to be what I was expecting and magically converted my blue to the exact shade that I needed. They totally saved the day, and all my orders arrived in time for our event!
