Delivery Throughout Brooklyn
Courier delivery reaches every Brooklyn neighborhood, with rush options available on many orders. From DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights to Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Bushwick, and Red Hook, our courier network reaches you across the East River bridges — so a Manhattan production floor functions like a local Brooklyn print shop with far more equipment behind it.
A Full-Service Print Partner for Brooklyn
VSL Print is a family-owned commercial printer founded in 2009 and formerly known as Varick Street Litho. We run 100% of our production in-house in Manhattan — offset, digital, large format, finishing, and bindery all under one roof — which is exactly why we can act like a neighborhood print shop for Brooklyn without the limited equipment of one. There are no outside vendors, no handoffs, and no waiting on a trade printer in another state. When a Williamsburg studio needs lookbooks proofed and bound, or a Park Slope cafe needs new menus before the weekend, the entire job moves through a single facility.
Short-run and digital work for Brooklyn moves fastest, and offset projects with specialty stocks or custom finishing follow a schedule we confirm with your quote. Because our prepress, press, and bindery teams work side by side, rush requests do not get stuck between departments — a job moves from file check to press to cutting to delivery without ever waiting on an outside vendor. We also hold G7 color calibration, which means color is calibrated to a consistent gray balance and tonal standard, so a reorder three months from now matches the first run.
Digital & Offset
Digital presses handle short runs, variable-data mailers, and fast rush jobs with no plate setup. Offset takes over for larger quantities, exact Pantone spot colors, and specialty stocks where per-piece cost drops as the run grows. We match the method to your quantity and deadline.
Large Format
Storefront window graphics, gallery wall murals, retractable banners, and trade-show displays print in oversized formats on vinyl, fabric, foam-core, Gatorboard, and rigid PVC. We deliver and install throughout Brooklyn, from DUMBO storefronts to Bushwick galleries.
Finishing & Bindery
Soft-touch and gloss lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, die-cutting, scoring, rounded corners, saddle-stitching, and perfect binding all happen in-house. That keeps finishing-heavy projects like packaging and lookbooks on a tight, predictable schedule.

Preparing Files for a Fast Brooklyn Turnaround
The single biggest factor in hitting a tight Brooklyn deadline is a clean, print-ready file. Export a flattened PDF/X built in CMYK rather than RGB, embed or outline your fonts, and add at least 0.125 inch of bleed on every edge with important text pulled inside a safe margin. For posters, banners, and signage, supply vector artwork or high-resolution raster files at 100 to 150 DPI at final size so type and edges stay crisp at scale.
Every file we receive goes through prepress review before it touches a press. We check resolution, bleed, color space, overprint settings, and trim, then flag anything that could cause a reprint — low-resolution logos, RGB blacks, or a missing bleed — so problems get caught before deadline, not after delivery. Hard or soft proofs are available when exact color is critical for a brand rollout or gallery show.

Brooklyn Delivery Image
Our production facility is in Manhattan, but we offer fast courier delivery throughout Brooklyn, with rush options available on many orders.
Rush delivery is available to most Brooklyn neighborhoods, and we confirm the delivery window when you order. Courier delivery covers all Brooklyn addresses.
Yes, we work with many Brooklyn-based creative agencies, design studios, and artists. We specialize in lookbooks, portfolios, and exhibition materials.
Yes. Pickup is available at our facility at 239 West 29th Street, Ground Floor, in Manhattan, open Monday through Friday 9 AM to 7 PM. We confirm the pickup time when your order is scheduled. From most Brooklyn neighborhoods it is a short ride over the Manhattan, Williamsburg, or Brooklyn Bridge, and we sit near several subway lines for easy walk-in pickup.
A print-ready PDF/X is preferred. Build files in CMYK rather than RGB, embed or outline all fonts, and include at least 0.125 inch of bleed on every edge with crucial text kept inside a safe margin. For large-format and signage work, supply vector art or high-resolution raster files at 100 to 150 DPI at final size. If you are unsure, our prepress team reviews every file before production and will flag low-resolution images, missing bleed, or color issues before anything goes to press.
We stock a wide range, from 14pt and 16pt cover for business cards to 100lb text and cover for lookbooks, plus uncoated, silk, matte, and gloss options. Finishing in-house includes soft-touch lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, die-cutting, scoring, rounded corners, saddle-stitching, and perfect binding. For menus and outdoor signage we offer synthetic and laminated stocks that resist moisture and handling.
Yes. We print large-format graphics in oversized formats on vinyl, fabric, foam-core, Gatorboard, and rigid substrates for storefront windows, gallery walls, trade-show booths, and pop-up displays. Our team handles delivery and professional installation throughout Brooklyn, including window decals, wall murals, and freestanding signage.
Yes. As a G7-calibrated shop we calibrate to a consistent gray balance and tonal standard across digital and offset, so color stays predictable from proof to final run and from one reorder to the next. We can match Pantone spot colors on offset jobs and build close CMYK conversions for digital runs, which matters for agencies and retailers that need brand colors to stay on-spec across reprints.
Digital printing is ideal for short runs, fast turnaround, and variable data such as personalized mailers; there are no plates, so setup is minimal. Offset is the better choice for larger quantities, exact Pantone spot colors, and specialty stocks, where the per-piece cost drops as volume rises. Both run in-house, so we can recommend the right method based on your quantity, budget, and deadline rather than forcing a project onto one press.
