Commercial Printing Services NYC: Digital, Offset & Large Format

VSL Print offers three main types of commercial printing: digital printing for short runs and quick turnaround, offset printing for high-volume jobs requiring Pantone color matching, and large format printing for signage, banners, and displays. All printing is done in-house at our Manhattan facility.

Standard digital business cards are among our fastest products, and rush service is available for most business card orders. Specialty finishes like foil stamping, embossing, or die cutting add production steps, so we confirm the schedule with your quote.

Having printing and installation in-house ensures quality control from design through final installation.

We accept PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, PSD, INDD, and TIFF files. For best results, submit press-ready PDFs with fonts outlined, images at 300 DPI minimum, and 0.125" bleed. Our prepress team can also prepare files and provide proofs before printing.

Digital printing images directly from your file to the press, so there are no plates and no setup charge, which makes it efficient and cost-effective for runs from 1 to a few thousand pieces and for variable-data jobs where every piece is unique. Offset printing transfers ink from etched plates to a rubber blanket and then to paper, so it carries a plate and make-ready cost up front but the per-unit price drops sharply as quantity climbs, typically becoming the better value above roughly 1,000 to 2,500 pieces. Offset also supports the widest range of stocks, spot and metallic inks, and very large sheet sizes. For most projects the deciding factors are quantity, the stocks and inks you need, and how tight your timeline is, and we are glad to recommend the more economical route for your specific job.

We stock a broad range of coated and uncoated papers in gloss, silk, satin, and matte finishes. Common text weights run from 80# to 100# for brochures and catalog pages, while cover and card stocks range from 80# cover up to 16pt and 18pt for business cards, postcards, and folders. We also carry premium uncoated and textured options such as felt, linen, and laid finishes, plus heavier specialty boards for invitations and packaging. If you have a brand standard or a sample you want matched, send it over and we will pull stocks for you to compare before the run.

Because finishing and bindery stay under our roof, we can combine effects without shipping work out. Coatings include gloss and matte aqueous, soft-touch and spot UV. Specialty finishing covers foil stamping, embossing, debossing, edge painting, scoring, and precision die-cutting on our digital cutting tables. For multi-page work we offer saddle stitching, perfect binding, wire-O, and folding in every standard configuration. Keeping these steps in-house shortens turnaround and keeps a single team accountable for the finished piece.

Build your document at final trim size with 0.125" bleed on every edge and keep important text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim as a safe margin. Set color to CMYK for full-color work and call out any specific spot colors by their swatch name so we can match them on press. Place raster images at 300 DPI or higher at final size, outline or embed all fonts, and export a single press-ready PDF with crop marks. If you are unsure about any of this, our prepress team will review your files and flag issues before we print, and we can supply a hard or soft proof for approval.
