Cheap as Prints

Cheap as Prints combines an online print shop with a broad catalog for businesses, retailers, events, and organizations across the UK. Its website says it has operated since 2004 and lets customers choose formats, materials, and finishes through online ordering. The range spans business stationery, promotional printing, displays, and signage, with graphic design available for customers who need help preparing artwork.

The stationery section includes business cards, letterhead, envelopes, compliment slips, order pads, and other office print materials. Cards come in different formats and finishes, while the catalog also lists notebooks, presentation folders, and calendars. That range supports coordinated everyday business communications as well as more specialized materials for campaigns and presentations.

For distribution and promotion, the catalog includes flyers, leaflets, brochures, booklets, postcards, invitations, menus, and hospitality materials. Printed bags, labels, stickers, and promotional items are also available. The shop groups products by use and format so customers can compare options before uploading artwork and completing an order.

Exhibition and signage products include posters, PVC banners, roller banners, pop-up displays, and flags, along with Correx, Foamex, and Dibond boards. The range also includes magnetic vehicle signs, notice boards, counter displays, and point-of-sale stands. Different surfaces suit indoor and outdoor uses, although the right choice depends on each product’s specifications.

The online process starts with selecting an item and its options, uploading print-ready artwork, and reviewing the order details before checkout. The company recommends PDF to preserve layout, fonts, and images; high-resolution JPEG or PNG files may be accepted for some products. A digital proof can be requested as an additional service to review a design before production.

Cheap as Prints offers a free basic check of supplied artwork, but says this does not include file optimization or a digital proof. Customers without finished artwork can use the company’s in-house graphic design service, priced according to the selected product. The website estimates that most orders take five to six business days when artwork is ready, and notes that faster turnaround is available only on selected items.

The listed address is at The Old Bank Business Centre in Darlaston, within Walsall; the business also allows local visits for A4 and A3 copying or scanning orders. Its published in-person hours are Monday through Friday. The operation combines online ordering for customers across the country with a limited local option for printing and digitization.
