Six gaps
Six places 4OVER4.COM goes further than 123Print
60+ paper stocks and finishes
123Print offers a handful of paper options. 4OVER4.COM lists linen, kraft, metallic pearl, black, recycled and cotton papers, so a card can match the brand instead of the default stock.
A far bigger product range
Business cards, postcards, brochures, banners, stickers, labels, booklets, door hangers, rack cards and table tents, all from one printer and one account.
Reliability and track record
Printing since 1999 in its own Queens plant, where every artwork goes through a 30-point checklist before it reaches a press.
Thick and layered card
Ultra Thick card is built in layers, and the Prestige stocks run a colored seam through the edge in 12 colors, so the side of the card carries the brand too.
Free design tools
Across the whole 4OVER4.COM catalog you get 10,000+ design templates, a free online designer (Canvs) and free print-ready blank templates. No design software to buy.
Rewards and guarantees
The table marks free cards, loyalty and a price match as No for 123Print. Here a new account starts with 200 free business cards, each order earns loyalty coins, and a cheaper 123Print quote can be sent in for the price match.
Card weight
Business card stock from 13pt up to 80pt
At 4OVER4.COM, 50 Black Business Cards on 32pt Midnite Black stock start at $40.62, printed in white ink on the black card. Other card stocks start at 13pt, and the postcards and flyers you add later get their own paper lists.
Pricing
Every base price includes a free file check, and the price per piece drops as the quantity rises.
Quality
Free samples ship free, so you can feel the stock and the finish before the first run.
Support
Real print experts and a free proof on every order, so nothing goes to press until it is right.
Finishes and range
Five finishes and a wider product range
Paper and finish selection
The finish goes on after the paper. Spot UV puts gloss on one part of the design, soft-touch lamination gives the card a velvet feel, foil stamping adds metallic shine, painted edges color the sides of a thick card, and raised ink lifts the type off the surface.
Product range
A trade show order often needs more than cards: a banner, a stack of rack cards, table tents. Here they go on the same order as the cards, from one account and one proofing process.

Wally explains the switch from 123Print
Hold the stock before a full run
Start with 200 free business cards on premium stock, add a finish 123Print never carried, and hold the result next to your last 123Print card before you commit to a full run. The thicker card is the one your clients keep.

123Print in detail
Pricing, paper and range, 4OVER4.COM against 123Print
123Print and 4OVER4.COM both sell cards, flyers and postcards online. The differences sit in paper weight, finishes, color control and how far the catalog reaches, and each gets its own heading below.
Why buyers look past 123Print
123Print covers the basics, business cards, flyers and postcards on standard stock. When a job calls for 32pt stock, spot UV or foil, 4OVER4.COM prints it in its own NYC plant, and you can start the file from its professional Design Templates. The Loyalty Program adds coins to each order you place, and the comparison table shows 123Print runs no loyalty program.
Where 123Print runs out
123Print works for a basic order of standard cards. The limit shows when you want premium finishes or thicker stock, or when the next job is a banner or a booklet outside its catalog. 4OVER4.COM runs anything from a 250-card starter order to a 50,000-piece direct mail campaign, and it is CASS certified for the mailing side. If paper quality, product variety and long-term value decide it for you, 4OVER4.COM is the better 123Print alternative.
How pricing compares to 123Print
123Print runs frequent discount promotions, and those discounts tend to sit on its most basic products and thinnest stocks. Move up to a heavier stock or add a finish and the gap narrows fast. Price the whole job at the quantity you will order, with the stock and finish you want, and compare that.
Print quality and color control
At 4OVER4.COM a pre-press check looks at every order before it prints, and the presses run to a calibrated CMYK profile, so a reorder of Standard Brochures, from $57.11 for 50, comes back in the same color as the first run. The color profiling is G7, checked with multi-day accuracy tests.
Where 4OVER4.COM pulls ahead
The comparison table rates 123Print's templates as limited. 4OVER4.COM keeps 10,000+ design templates, the free Canvs online designer, and print-ready blank templates that reach past paper, down to a T Shirt Printing blank for apparel.
Who 4OVER4.COM is the right 123Print alternative for
A shop owner reordering Black Business Cards and Standard Flyers gets heavier stock and finishes 123Print does not list. A designer or agency running several clients gets every product under one account and the same calibrated color from job to job. A nonprofit can email support@4over4.com for curated account management, with any discount reviewed case by case.
What you gain over 123Print
123Print publishes no on-time figure. 4OVER4.COM posts its on-time and ship-early rates in the table above, so the delivery promise can be checked before the first order.
The verdict
Pick 4OVER4.COM when the job needs thick stock, a real finish or a product outside 123Print's catalog, with same-day shipping on orders placed by 12pm ET.
Ordering to spec
Four choices you take back from a template order
A template order picks the stock, the finish, the quantity and the layout for you. That keeps it quick, and it also sets the ceiling. Ordering to spec at 4OVER4.COM hands all four back to you.
- Stock, chosen by weight and paper instead of the default behind the template.
- Finish, added only to the parts of the design that call for it.
- Quantity, priced in tiers, so you order what you will use this year.
- The file, uploaded as your own artwork instead of dropped into a fixed layout.
None of that requires design software. Free blank templates give you the correct dimensions to start from, ready-made design templates cover the blank page, and free file review catches problems before press.
Ratings side by side
4.8 from 10,000+ reviews next to 123Print at 4.5
Across all its platforms 4OVER4.COM averages 4.8 from 10,000+ reviews, with 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Facebook. 123Print shows 4.5 on Trustpilot from 6,115 reviews and 1.6 on Sitejabber, where only 5 people have rated it, so the Trustpilot score is the fairer one to weigh.

123Print questions
Common Questions
Ten questions buyers ask before they leave 123Print, from whether it is legit to how its prices and delivery compare with ours. Browse every printing question on our FAQs hub.
Is 123 print legit?
Yes, it is an established online printer aimed at basic business stationery at promotional prices, trading since 2006. Before you order, compare the stock weight, the finish options and the price at your real quantity rather than at the smallest pack.
Which company is best for printing?
There is no single best printer, only the right fit for what you print and how often. For occasional basic stationery a promotional retail printer is fine. For a business printing across several product types, one printer that runs cards, signs, labels and mailers under five written guarantees saves juggling several accounts, and 4OVER4.COM prints all of them in one NYC plant.
What is the price of 1 page print?
Per-page pricing is a copy shop question, and print buying does not work that way. A run is priced by product, stock, finish and quantity, with the unit cost falling as the quantity rises, which is why 250 cards and 50,000 mailers sit on completely different curves. Compare quotes at the quantity you will actually order.
What makes 4OVER4.COM a better alternative to 123Print?
The two biggest gaps are range and paper. 123Print lists 50+ standard products, while 4OVER4.COM carries 1,000+ on 60+ paper types, with spot UV and foil stamping that 123Print does not offer. 4OVER4.COM has also been printing for 25+ years to 123Print's 20.
Is 4OVER4.COM more expensive than 123Print?
It depends on the job. 123Print leans on frequent discounts for its most basic products. At 4OVER4.COM, 50 Standard Postcards start at $16.48, and if 123Print quotes less for the same specs and turnaround, send the quote: the price match beats it by 10%.
Can I order the same products at 4OVER4.COM that I ordered at 123Print?
Yes. Business cards, postcards, flyers and brochures, the core of what 123Print sells, are all here, and the same account also orders banners, stickers, booklets and 3D postcards.
How fast does 4OVER4.COM deliver compared to 123Print?
123Print does not publish an on-time rate or a share of orders that ship early, so the comparison table marks both as not shared. 4OVER4.COM holds a 99.8% on-time delivery rate, and 82% of orders ship ahead of schedule. Turnaround varies by product, and many products offer rush options for a tighter deadline.
Does 4OVER4.COM offer design help if I do not have files ready?
Yes. 4OVER4.COM provides free blank templates for every product so you can design at the correct dimensions from the start, plus ready-made design templates and a free online designer to speed things up.
What if I am also comparing other printers besides 123Print?
The full list of printer comparisons holds a head to head table for dozens of online printers, so each name on your shortlist can be checked the way 123Print is checked here. Banner jobs, for example, have their own BannerBuzz comparison.
Does 4OVER4.COM have a satisfaction guarantee?
Yes. Every order is backed by five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction. The satisfaction guarantee is money back, and a real person answers on 718-932-2700.
