Quick FAQ

Common organizer questions.

Can you match what we used to order from North Shore Printers?
In most cases, yes. Bring a sample, a prior invoice, or a spec sheet and we’ll quote to match format, stock, and finishing.

 

Do you offer rush jobs?
Yes—rush availability depends on item type, quantity, and current production load. Submit details through the form and call if the deadline is tight.

 

Do you print the union bug?
We can include the official union bug on qualified materials when applicable. Some items cannot have a union bug; we’ll confirm during quoting.

 

Quote form

Include your in-hand date, quantity, sizes, delivery method (pickup/delivery/ship), artwork files, and whether you need the union bug.
