Head to head
Where MOO and Overnight Prints differ, row by row
| Feature |  MOO |  Overnight Prints |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Premium, and higher still on Luxe | Mid range, with rush production priced as the main draw |
| Paper and finish range | Curated, from thick Luxe to cotton and soft touch | Standard glossy and matte tiers, with a smaller premium selection |
| Product range | Mostly cards and stationery, plus stickers and notebooks | Compact. Business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, and a few staples |
| Minimums | Small packs keep a first order low | Low minimums on core products |
| Shipping | Standard window, no rush tier | Rush focused, with overnight production on select products |
| Design tools | Printfinity and design-led templates | A basic online editor and template library |
| Support | Well liked service for a short catalog | Standard online support, geared to keeping rush orders moving |
MOO builds premium cards on a standard production window, and Overnight Prints builds its day around rush jobs. For most buyers of this pair the product in question is the business card, which the next section takes on its own.
Business cards
Business cards head to head
On business cards the decision is short: how thick the card feels in a handshake, how fast it reaches your desk, and what the invoice says at 100 and at 500. MOO owns the feel, Overnight Prints owns the clock, and neither one lets you have both in the same box.
| Business card spec | MOO | Overnight Prints |  4OVER4.COM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card stock weight | House stock as standard, stepping up to the thick Luxe tier | Everyday business card weights, picked to keep fast jobs moving | 14pt gloss as the standard card, running up to 80pt UltraWhite |
| Finishes | Premium finishes, tied to the MOO house papers | The core coatings that survive an overnight schedule | Standard finish or high gloss UV, on 74 stocks |
| Quantity range | Built for small premium runs, not for bulk | Everyday counts, geared to quick reorders | Short desk-drawer runs through bulk on the same card and the same stock |
| Turnaround on those counts | Standard turnaround, no rush tier to buy | Overnight production on business cards and other core items | Same-day options on select products when you order by 12pm ET, with a 99.8% on-time delivery rate |
| Price at 100 | The premium-stock price, since the paper is what you are paying for | The volume-and-speed price on its standard card | $17.57 on 14pt gloss, and a lower quote on the same specs is beaten by 10% |
| Price at 500 | Priced per premium card | Volume pricing on its standard card | $36.26 on the same 14pt gloss card |
| Where to start | The MOO card range | The Overnight Prints card range | Classic business cards on 14pt gloss, or black business cards for the heavier look |
Pick by the job, not the ad. If the card has to feel expensive in the hand, MOO is the honest choice of the two. If it has to be on your desk tomorrow morning, Overnight Prints is. 4OVER4.COM takes both jobs: classic business cards on 14pt gloss for the quick run, black business cards on 32pt to 80pt Midnite Black when the card has to feel heavy, and the full business cards printing range between them.
Where each one wins
Heavy stock against a next-morning ship
MOO: the stock and the finish
MOO is the printer to reach for when a card is meant to be kept. Its Luxe stock has real heft, the curated range adds cotton and soft touch in small packs, the design library looks current rather than templated, and Printfinity lets every card in a pack carry a different image. It runs standard turnaround with no rush option, so it suits a small batch when the calendar is on your side. Our MOO Luxe alternative with ultra thick stocks prices that heft against cards here.
Overnight Prints: the date on the box
The clock is Overnight Prints' strength. The company built its name on rush production, and when a trade show or a client meeting is tomorrow, overnight production on business cards, postcards, and flyers is a real safety net. Prices sit in the middle of the market, minimums are low, and the ordering flow is quick. If speed is the only spec that matters, Overnight Prints is the better bet of the two.
The third option
What a MOO or Overnight Prints buyer keeps by moving
| Feature | MOO | Overnight Prints | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product catalog | 30+ items, mostly cards and stationery | A compact list of core print staples | 1,000+ printing products |
| Paper stocks and finishes | Curated premium range | Standard tiers plus limited premium | 74 card stocks to 80pt, plus silk laminated |
| Price match | No | No | Yes, beats a verified quote by 10% |
| Loyalty rewards | No | No | Coins on each order |
| Free proof | Not standard | Not standard | Free online proof before press |
| Same-day options | No | No | Same-day products, 12pm ET cutoff |
| Non-profit discount | No | No | 25% off every order, for life |
MOO's Printfinity packs have no direct match here. From Overnight Prints you keep the deadline cover, since same-day products ship when ordered by 12pm ET. Heavier work runs longer: 32pt and 48pt silk laminated cards take 15 business days, so the deadline card and the statement card are two separate orders.

Weight and speed questions
Common Questions
Eight answers for a card buyer torn between weight and speed: Luxe against overnight, pricing at 500 cards, 32pt and heavier stocks, deadline orders, and postcards, flyers and brochures. Everything else is on our FAQs hub.
Is MOO better than Overnight Prints?
It depends on the job. MOO prints better premium business cards, with thick Luxe stock and design-forward templates, but you pay more and wait a standard production window. Overnight Prints is built for speed, with overnight production on core products at mid-range prices. Pick MOO for the impression and Overnight Prints for a deadline tomorrow.
Who is faster, MOO or Overnight Prints?
Overnight Prints, clearly. Speed is the whole pitch, with overnight production available on business cards and other core items. MOO runs standard turnaround with no rush tier. 4OVER4.COM offers same-day options on select products when you order by 12pm ET, plus a 99.8% on-time delivery rate.
Is MOO better than Overnight Prints for business cards?
For the card itself, yes. MOO prints on heavier house stock that steps up to the thick Luxe tier, and that is what people are paying for. For a deadline, no. Overnight Prints runs overnight production on business cards while MOO runs standard turnaround with no rush tier, so a Friday order behaves very differently at the two printers. 4OVER4.COM splits it into two orders: 14pt gloss cards when the clock decides, and 32pt to 80pt black or silk laminated cards when the weight does. Start with classic business cards or go heavier with black business cards.
Which is cheaper for 500 cards, MOO or Overnight Prints?
Neither one publishes a single flat number, because the total moves with stock, finish and turnaround, so price both at 500 on the same stock. Here 500 standard business cards on 14pt gloss are $36.26, and if either quote comes in lower on the same specs, the price match beats it by 10%. Every other stock is on the business cards printing page.
Can I pay less than both MOO and Overnight Prints?
For the plain card, yes: the standard business card in the table above is the cheapest entry here. For Luxe weight, ultra thick silk laminated cards start at 250 for $251.36. Each brand gets its own page, the Overnight Prints alternative on speed and the MOO alternative on stock.
Can I get premium card stock without giving up speed?
Yes, as long as the stock is one the same-day card offers. Same day business cards come on 74 stocks, including 32pt UltraWhite, while silk laminated cards with foil take 15 business days.
Who prints better postcards, MOO or Overnight Prints?
Both handle standard postcards well. MOO leans premium and Overnight Prints leans fast, so the pick follows your priority. 4OVER4.COM prints postcards from 50 for $16.48 in 14 sizes, and direct mail postcards that are addressed and mailed in the same order.
What about flyers and brochures?
This is where both catalogs thin out. MOO barely covers marketing prints and Overnight Prints keeps a short list of staples. 4OVER4.COM prints flyers from 50 for $39.54 on seven paper stocks, and brochures flat or half-folded from 50 for $57.11.
