At Same Day Printing, we offer a range of fast printing options tailored to meet your deadline and budget needs.

The availability of turnaround times may differ depending on the printed product line you choose. For orders that include multiple printed items, that your job will be dispatched based on the item with the longest turnaround time. If you require some items more urgently, be sure to place them in separate orders to facilitate faster delivery, or call or email our friendly team and we would be happy to help you organise this.

At Same Day Printing, we offer a variety of design services to suit your specific needs. Remember, your selected “Turnaround” time starts from when your print-ready art is approved. Each design service comes with an estimated turnaround for the initial check/design and each revision. Please factor in this time if you’re working with a tight deadline. For example, if you need your items in 3 business days and require design services, you might need to opt for a Next Business Day print turnaround to accommodate the time needed for receiving, reviewing, and approving your design.

If you’re providing your own artwork, ensure it meets all the specifications detailed in the downloadable templates on this page, or as outlined in our Artwork Guidelines.

When you have only one item to print, simply select ‘1’ from the dropdown menu.

However, if you’re looking to print multiple sets of different artwork while keeping all other print and finishing specifications the same (such as size, stock, color, quantity, etc.), you might qualify for a quantity discount. In this case, you don’t need to process each artwork as a separate item. Instead, you can indicate how many different kinds or sets of artwork you have. For instance, if you have four different designs of postcards and you want 50 copies of each design, you would enter ‘Quantity: 50’ and ‘Kinds: 4’. After confirming your print order, if you are supplying print-ready art, you will be requested to upload each set of artwork separately. This approach is convenient and cost-effective when printing multiple designs with the same production and finishing specifications.

Freight costs are calculated at checkout after adding all print items to your cart.

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.

Keep in mind:

• Uber is not a standard courier service and you will need to be able to track the driver and meet them at the curb.
• UBER prices vary dependent 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 via Credit Card 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,
  • Select the Uber “Package” booking option
  • Include the Job Number and Business Name they are picking up for in the notes

*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.

Classic Shape Cut Business Cards come with multiple lamination choices to suit your personal brand style. Whether you’re looking for a glossy finish for a vibrant touch or a matt finish for a subtle, sophisticated look, or a velvet finish that feels soft to the touch, we have options to cater to your preferences. Check the Product Specs Tabs for full details.

Absolutely, we’ve got more than just standard business cards! While our standard ones are great for sticking to a budget, we also offer an extensive range of other styles like die-cut, foiled, and folded business cards if you’re looking for something a bit different. Check our main menu or search bar for other business card options – or contact us to discuss your needs.

Certainly! Classic shape cut business cards are printed on FSC certified coated stocks. To maintain an environmentally friendly approach, consider skipping lamination and foiling on your business cards.

We also have Recycled and Kraft stock business cards available on this site.

Understanding Minimum Quantity and Order Value:

While we do not impose a minimum order quantity (MOQ), we have established a minimum order value (MOV). This approach ensures that we can comprehensively cover the costs involved in job processing, file handling, pre-press, printing, production, finishing, packing, equipment, and other overheads. These costs are consistent regardless of whether you order a single item or a thousand.

You’re welcome to enter a custom quantity for your order, but it’s worth noting that increasing your order volume can often be more cost-effective. As is typical in many industries, the unit price tends to decrease as the quantity increases, offering better value for larger orders.

Yes! With Same Day Printing, you can customise individual cards and split your order quantity across multiple employees within your company. You can supply a multi-page print-ready pdf or your base design file and a list of the names/contact details you’re looking to add to your cards. Call us on 03 8361 3699 today to discuss your variable print run.
