Backlit

Same Day Printing offers a variety of fast printing options  to help you balance deadlines and budget. Available turnarounds may vary by printed product line. If you order multiple printed items in 1 transaction, your job will dispatch based on the longest turnaround item, so if you need some items sooner, remember to process them as separate orders. 

Note: There is a 10am cut-off for all services except emergency printing services.

To allow for adequate planning, each service has a 10am cut-off for your job to hit production. This requires
1) payment to have been received, and 
2) print ready artwork to have been uploaded or signed off by 10am. 
If you need assistance with your artwork, or your artwork is deemed not print ready, your selected turnaround time starts from when it is signed off, so remember to allow for this. 

Emergency Printing Service

If you need your job printed faster than the Same Day service allows, we do have emergency printing services. To enquire, please email your requirements to helpme@samedayprinting.com.au with "Emergency Service" in your subject line.

Same Day Printing offers a range of design options to suit your needs.  Keep in mind your nominated "Turnaround"" starts from the time print-ready art is approved for your order. Each design service as an estimated turnaround for the initial check/design and each revision. You will need to allow time for this if you have a deadline. For instance, if you need your items in 3 business days, but require design, you may need to select Next Business Day print turnaround to allow time to receive, review, and approve your design prior to print. 

If supplying your own artwork, please ensure it meets all requirements as detailed in the downloadable templates on this page, or listed in our Artwork Guidelines.

UBER Direct - Melbourne Metro

If you need it sooner, try an UBER. If time is particularly short, we can organise an UBER delivery, or you can organise an UBER pick up from us. UBER prices vary dependant on dispatch time and date, travel time and any wait time at the delivery point, so if we are organising your UBER delivery, the estimated cost will be invoiced separately to your order, and requires payment prior to dispatch and someone to meet the driver at the street. 

If UBER charge is more than the estimate, the variation in cost will be charged to your credit card. If you are organising an UBER pickup, you need to call us when the UBER is approximately 2 minutes away, with the make and number plate of the vehicle.


*Same Day Courier is generally up to 4 hours from dispatch to the city or western suburbs, however delivery times do fluctuate with seasonal events and weather. Unfortunately, as with all courier solutions, we have no control over delivery once dispatched. If you require your delivery before COB or by a specific time we recommend pick-up or UBER. For interstate deliveries we can only guarantee to dispatch on time. While over 96% of our deliveries arrive on schedule, we cannot guarantee there will be no courier delays.
