48hourprint: your rush printing partner in the United States

When deadlines move faster than your calendar, 48hourprint helps small businesses and marketing teams get professional print and packaging out the door—fast. We focus on 48-hour print production for everyday essentials (business cards, brochures, postcards, labels, stickers, posters, packaging inserts), zero setup fees, and small-batch minimums starting at 25 units.

• 48-hour production: Most standard orders are produced within two working days. Choose expedited shipping for time-critical arrivals.
• No setup fees: Pay for the product, not hidden prepress charges.
• Small-batch friendly: Start at 25 units—ideal for pilots, events, and fast iterations.
• Online editor: Design in your browser with real-time previews and automatic checks.
• Instant pricing: See live pricing as you adjust quantities, paper, and finishes.

How our 48-hour print timeline works

Our workflow compresses prepress, production, and handoff to carriers into two business days for standard products:

1. Upload & check (minutes): Our system auto-detects resolution, bleed, and color space. If your file is RGB, it converts to CMYK and flags anything that needs attention.
2. Smart imposition (hours): Orders are algorithmically ganged to minimize waste and speed press setup.
3. 24/7 production (day 1–2): We run multi-shift schedules—weekday and weekend coverage on core lines—to hit rush windows.
4. Carrier pickup (by end of day 2): Select UPS Next Day Air, 2-Day, or Ground depending on your deadline.

Tip: For Thursday events, place your order by Tuesday morning, choose 2-Day Air if you’re a few states away, or Next Day Air if you’re farther.

Packaging and marketing essentials

• Business cards: Premium stocks (e.g., 16pt) with fast-turn coatings; perfect for last-minute conferences.
• Brochures & flyers: 80lb–100lb gloss/matte options; tri-folds, half-folds, and more.
• Labels & stickers: Brand packaging quickly with kiss-cut stickers or roll labels.
• Posters: Rush poster printing for campaigns and storefronts. If you need a frame, search poster frame nearby to locate the closest framing shop and pair it with our same-week prints.
• Packaging inserts & cards: Elevate unboxing with branded thank-you cards, promo inserts, or care guides.

FAQ: fast answers to trending questions

1) What does “48-hour print” include?

It covers production time for standard products. Shipping time is separate—choose expedited services for a specific delivery date. Complex finishes or custom sizes may require more time; we’ll flag that at checkout.

2) Can I hit a weekend deadline?

Yes—place your order by Friday morning, choose Saturday delivery where available, and use Next Day Air. Our lines run weekend coverage on key products to meet event timelines.

3) poster frame nearby—do you sell frames?

We print posters fast; frames are typically sourced locally. Search “poster frame nearby” to find same-day framing options and pair them with our rush prints.

4) can i put a water bottle in the microwave?

Generally no. Most plastic water bottles aren’t microwave-safe and may warp or leach chemicals; sealed containers can also build pressure. If you must heat water, use microwave-safe glass or ceramic, and follow manufacturer guidance.

5) What’s the best paper for premium business cards?

For a high-end feel, choose 16pt or thicker stocks with matte or soft-touch coating. If you need to write on the card, pick uncoated or satin finishes.
