Where each one wins

One press for short runs, one for long

PsPrint: the short specialty run

PsPrint wins on range and low commitment. It prints short digital runs, die-cut stickers, invitations and general marketing collateral at low minimums on standard gloss and matte tiers. Design services plus a strong template set help outfits that lack a designer. When your jobs are varied, low-volume, and often custom-shaped, PsPrint fits your order pattern better than a bulk house. Move those jobs to 4OVER4.COM and you keep short runs and gain a 60+ stock list and a free proof on every order. Two guides help you pick: how to choose the best commercial printing company for your business, and print design services explained, from free online tools to pro help.

PrintPlace: the offset bracket

PrintPlace is the volume specialist here. Because it is built around offset, brochures, catalogs, booklets, and direct-mail runs keep getting cheaper per piece the more you order, and its upload flow is geared to finished files from experienced buyers. For a repeating high-quantity job, the same bound or folded product printed on a schedule, PrintPlace is the natural choice against a short-run shop. Move that run to 4OVER4.COM and you keep volume tiers, from 25 booklets at $240.55 upward, plus same-day options by 12pm ET, and Direct Mail Postcards can be mailed as part of the order.

Short run and volume questions

Common Questions

Six answers: marketing materials by run size, flyers, brochures from $57.11 for 50, postcards for a mail campaign, booklets and catalogs from $240.55 for 25, and the option that covers both printers. The rest is on our FAQs hub.

Is PsPrint or PrintPlace better for marketing materials?

It depends on the run. PsPrint suits short digital runs, stickers, and die cut pieces where flexibility matters more than unit price. PrintPlace suits bulk offset work, where brochures and catalogs get cheaper as quantities climb. Match the printer to the size and shape of the job: a 50-piece run and a 5,000-piece catalog want different presses.

Who prints better flyers, PsPrint or PrintPlace?

Both handle standard flyers. Flyers at 4OVER4.COM run on seven stocks, 50 for $39.54, with same-day options when you order by 12pm ET.

Which is better for brochures?

Brochures are PrintPlace home turf. PsPrint prints them too. At 4OVER4.COM, 50 brochures cost $57.11, about $1.14 each, and the free proof shows each fold line before a bulk run commits to it.

What about postcards for a mail campaign?

Both print standard postcards, and PrintPlace adds direct mail services on top. At 4OVER4.COM, 50 postcards cost $16.48, in 14 sizes, and direct mail postcards add a mailing service: $125 plus postage on a 500-piece run.

Who should print my booklets or catalogs?

PrintPlace has the stronger booklet and catalog lineup of the two. At 4OVER4.COM, 25 booklets cost $240.55, about $9.62 each, saddle-stitched with 8 to 60 pages in 5.5 x 8.5, 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 11 inches.

4OVER4.COM prints both kinds of job on one account. It adds what neither lists in the table above, loyalty Coins on every order, a free proof every time, 60+ stocks and finishes, and 25% off for life for non-profits, and Direct Mail Postcards can be mailed for you.
