FedEx Office counters are excellent at what they were built for: fast documents, copies, and shipping in one errand. A sales sheet is a different animal, a brand asset that gets reprinted, distributed in bulk, and judged in the hand. 4OVER4.COM will beat a lower price from a U.S. retail printer by 10 percent with our 110% Price Match Guarantee.
Collateral, not copies
Six things a copy counter does not stock for a pitch
A sales sheet line, not a copy job
At a FedEx Office counter, a sales sheet is a nice 8.5x11 color copy. At 4OVER4.COM it is a product family: classic gloss, kraft, metallic, and staggered cut formats, each engineered for the pitch it supports.
Stocks that carry the brand
A sheet handed across a desk is felt before it is read. Classic sheets run on nine stocks, from 100lb gloss text to 15pt synthetic plastic, and kraft sheets print on 18pt brown kraft cover.
Bulk pricing for real distributions
Sales sheets travel in stacks: trade shows, mail-outs, rep kits, and the price per sheet drops at every quantity tier on every format.
Color that matches the last run
Sales sheets get reprinted, and brand color has to survive the reorder. Calibrated presses keep run five looking like run one, wherever it ships.
A proof before the stack prints
One typo across five hundred sheets is an expensive way to learn about proofing. Every order clears a free pre-press review first, backed by five written guarantees.
The whole sales kit in one cart
Business cards for the rep, pocket folders for the deck and banners for the booth come from the same catalog and the same account.
Price, stocks, and bulk
Flat counter rates against falling tiers
Counter pricing versus factory pricing
A print counter charges for convenience, per copy. That is fine for a morning's handouts. A press run spreads the setup across the order, so sales sheets cost $108.75 for 100 and $207.60 for 500, and the price per sheet keeps falling into trade-show quantities.
Stocks a counter cannot offer
Counter machines run counter paper. The 4OVER4.COM sales sheet line runs gloss and silk text and cover, kraft for brands that trade on a natural look, metallic with a foil accent for launches, and staggered cut sets that step tiered information into one graduated stack.
Built for the sales cycle
The March run in the January blue
A sales sheet is a living document: specs change, quarters roll, and the file goes back to press. Consistency across those runs is what calibrated presses buy you: the brand blue on the March run matches the blue from January, and the rep in Denver hands out the same sheet as the rep in Miami.
Formats
Classic, kraft, metallic, and staggered cut sales sheets, each with its own stocks and finishing options.
Scale
Twenty-five quantity tiers on classic sheets, from 50 up to 25,000, for trade-show and rep-kit runs.
Consistency
G7 color profiling on the presses, so the reorder matches the original.

Wally explains the sales sheet switch
From counter copies to a pitch-grade product
A copy counter prints your sales sheet on the paper in the tray. A factory prints it on the stock the pitch deserves, kraft, metallic, heavyweight gloss, proofs it free, and prices the stack for the whole sales team.

Counter or factory
Where FedEx Office fits a sales sheet program, and where it stops
The sales sheet is the hardest-working page in B2B: one side of paper that has to carry a product, a price list, or a whole company into a stranger's hands. Where you print it decides whether it works like a document or like collateral.
What the FedEx Office counter does well
FedEx Office is good at urgent documents. When the deck changed at midnight and the meeting is at nine, the counter by the hotel prints your one-pagers before the meeting. Same-day pickup on simple jobs is real. The limits appear when the job stops being a document: kraft, metallic and staggered cut sheets are not on the counter menu. A sales sheet program, printed monthly in the hundreds, is a different job.
The dedicated line, format by format
The classic sales sheet is the workhorse: 100lb gloss text by default, or silk, uncoated, cover and synthetic stocks, with full color that keeps product photography true. From there the line specializes. Kraft sales sheets put spec grids on warm brown fiber, the natural pick for food, craft, and sustainable brands. Metallic sheets add a foil accent on 16pt gloss cover for premium launches. And staggered cut sheets step several pages into one graduated stack so a whole product family stays visible at once, a format the counter menu does not list. Watch the Staggered Cut Sales Sheets video to see the stepped edges.
How pricing compares
Bigger runs keep dropping: 1,000 classic sheets cost $240.55, about 24 cents each, and 5,000 cost $460.22, about 9 cents each. Loyalty coins build up on every order. Price the same 500-sheet run both ways before you choose.
Proofing and consistency, the quiet difference
Sales collateral is a repeat business, and repeat printing is where quality drifts. Every 4OVER4.COM order clears a free pre-press proof, bleed, resolution, color space, checked by people before the press rolls, and calibrated presses hold the approved color on every subsequent run. The five written guarantees, Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction, formalize what a counter can only intend. When the sheet carries your price list, "close enough" color and "probably tomorrow" delivery are not terms you want implied.
Who 4OVER4.COM is the right alternative for
Sales teams with a collateral cycle, marketers feeding trade shows and mailers, distributors arming reps across territories, and any brand whose one-pager gets judged next to bigger competitors' collateral. If your actual need is ten copies in an hour across the street, use the counter, that is its job. For a sheet that goes back to press every quarter, the stock list, the tiers and the repeatable color matter more.
Why the sheet belongs at a factory
A staggered cut set of 3 to 8 sheets, a kraft sheet on 18pt cover or an 11 x 17 spec sheet folded into a pocket folder are jobs a copy counter does not quote. Start in the sales sheets collection and pick the format before the copy.
The verdict
Use the FedEx Office counter for tonight's handouts; order here when the sales sheet is reprinted every quarter, needs kraft, metallic or staggered cut, or ships by the thousand.
The layout
An 8.5x11 layout read at arm's length
A standard 8.5x11 sales sheet is read standing up, in a few seconds, by someone already holding three other pieces of paper, so the layout has to work at arm's length.
- One claim at the top. The headline says what the product does for the reader, not what it is called.
- One image that carries the product. Edge to edge if the product is the hero.
- A spec block, not a paragraph. Sizes, materials, part numbers and prices belong in a grid the eye can scan.
- Proof. A customer name, a result, a certification. One is enough.
- A way to act. A person, a number to call and a short link.
Keep the back for the detail the front cannot hold. A staggered cut set solves the other case, where a whole product family has to stay visible at once.

Sales sheet questions
Common Questions
Ten answers for sales sheet buyers, from paper weight and one side or two to trade show quantities, the four formats, and the five classic trims from 8.5 x 11 to 11 x 25.5. Browse every printing question on our FAQs hub.
What paper weight works best for a sales sheet?
It depends on where the sheet goes. 100lb gloss text is the default and keeps product photography sharp in a pocket folder. 14pt cover holds its shape in a stack or a rack, 70lb uncoated takes a pen when reps write on it, and synthetic plastic survives a wet or busy show floor. Kraft and metallic sheets say something about the brand before the copy does.
Should a sales sheet print on one side or both?
Print both sides when there is real content for the back, and one side when there is not. A blank back reads as unfinished, but a back page padded with filler reads worse. The usual split is the pitch and the hero image on the front, then the specs, the sizes and the terms on the back. Both sides print on the same sheet, so the back adds to the price of one piece rather than a second one.
How many sales sheets should I print for a trade show?
Count the conversations you expect, not the attendee list. A booth that speaks to a hundred people does not hand out a thousand sheets. Print the show quantity plus a margin for the follow-up mailing, then check whether the next bulk tier costs enough to matter. Rep kits are the other half of that number.
What is a good FedEx sales sheets alternative?
A factory with a dedicated sales sheet line. FedEx Office prints sales sheets as color copies on counter stock; 4OVER4.COM prints them as products, classic, kraft, metallic, and staggered cut, with bulk pricing and a free online proof. Start with the sales sheets range.
Which sales sheet format fits which pitch?
Match the format to the pitch. Classic gloss sales sheets cover product specs and one-pagers; kraft suits natural and artisan brands; metallic adds a foil accent for premium lines and launches; staggered cut steps 3 to 8 sheets half an inch apart so every layer stays visible. If the sheet fights a brochure for the job, brochures vs sales sheets settles it.
What do sales sheets cost and how are prices set?
Each format starts at its own first run: 50 for classic and staggered cut, 100 for kraft and 500 for metallic, at the prices in the product cards at the top of this page. Past the first tier, quantity moves the unit price most, so 500 classic sheets cost $207.60. Stock, folding and a printed back add to that.
What sizes, stocks, and finishes are available?
Classic sheets come in 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14, 9 x 12, 11 x 17 and 11 x 25.5, on 100lb gloss or silk text, 70lb uncoated, 80lb gloss or 100lb silk cover, 14pt cover or 8mil and 15pt synthetic plastic, with a high gloss UV option and nine fold styles. Kraft sheets use 18pt kraft cover, metallic sheets 16pt gloss cover with a foil accent.
How long do sales sheets take to print and ship?
Classic sales sheets print in 3 business days by default, with faster turnaround options in the configurator, and 99.8% of orders arrive on time. Shipping time comes on top, so count back from the show or the mailing date.
Can 4OVER4.COM handle the rest of the sales kit?
Yes, and in the same cart: business cards for the reps, flyers for the follow-up, folders, banners, and 1,000+ other products.
Does 4OVER4.COM guarantee its sales sheets?
Every order is backed by five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction, and satisfaction means money back. The printing terms glossary explains coating, trim and the other terms on your quote.
