FAQ About Rush Printing

The design professionals at Bestype Printing deliver detail-oriented prints for banners, books, brochures, and postcards so you can promote your business using high-quality marketing materials. Though it can be beneficial to have items prepared in advance, changing deadlines or unforeseen delays may require last-minute print runs. Our team offers rush services to accommodate these circumstances. Here are some FAQs about rush printing services:

What Is Rush Printing? 

Rush printing offers a quick turnaround time to make sure your materials are printed promptly. We can help meet deadlines for various events, from store openings to last-minute corporate presentations. All of our printing is done in-house, eliminating delays that are common with box stores or online companies. Clients who request rush services work with our design professionals at each stage of their project to review the printing plan and accommodate tight deadlines.

How Do Rush Services Work?

Rush projects are organized and designed in a process similar to those scheduled in advance. At Bestype Printing, we follow four key steps. They include:

1. Gather Project Details: This step involves collecting relevant information about the project, including deadlines, event themes, business slogans, product information, and preferred color schemes.
2. Upload Project Documents: If you already have your project designed, upload it to our online platform. This helps us better understand your vision and suggest any edits to make sure all materials are sleek and professional. At this stage, we may also offer recommendations on paper types and printing methods.
3. Review Your Proofs: After finalizing your design, we will send you a proof. A soft proof is viewable online and gives you an opportunity to review the information and design to make sure it fits your vision. We can also print hard proofs that allow you to review color quality and how an image appears on your selected paper. Request any changes to your design during this step.
4. Final Printing: Once you approve your proofs, we will print and send your materials.

What Kind of Materials Can I Rush Print?

We can rush print most materials, whether it is a single item or a bulk print run. Possible materials include posters, flyers, catalogs, business cards, newsletters, and manuals. If you are unsure if your project qualifies for rush services, contact us. Our consultants can help you design and print materials within your deadline.

How Can I Support Rush Services? 

The professionals at Bestype Printing are prepared to meet your tight deadline, but you may help streamline this process by:

• Sending documents as PDFs with crop marks and ⅛-inch bleed. For multiple-page projects, save the file as single pages instead of spreads. This formatting standard prepares your project for the printer.
• Providing photos and files that are “print-ready.” Print-ready documents are sized with the correct dimensions, have the line art in vector format, and include any images in 300 dots per inch (DPI) resolution.
• Viewing online proofs with CMYK color mode. This mode provides the most accurate idea of what colors will look like after printing. Using it may save you time when approving proofs.

These tips help reduce project development time and eliminate potential delays caused by back-and-forth communication. Document editing and formatting can also be done in-house.
