Commercial Printing Services in NYC

VSL Print offers foil stamping (gold, silver, copper, custom colors), embossing and debossing, die cutting, spot UV coating, soft-touch lamination, edge gilding, and letterpress printing. All finishing is done in-house at our Manhattan facility.

We confirm the foil stamping schedule with your quote once printing is complete, and rush service is available. Complex jobs with multiple foil colors or combination foil and emboss may require additional time.

We offer perfect binding (for catalogs, magazines, and books over 48 pages), saddle stitch (for booklets and programs), case binding (for hardcover books), wire-o binding (for presentations and manuals), spiral binding, and tape binding.

Yes, our in-house design team can handle everything from brand identity and logo design to marketing materials and print-ready file preparation. We also offer file preparation services to ensure your designs print correctly.

Our installation team covers all five NYC boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island) as well as Long Island, Westchester, and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Contact us for installations outside these areas.

Yes, we offer after-hours and weekend installation for retail locations, offices, and other businesses that cannot close during installation. Additional charges may apply for after-hours service.

Yes. Offset, digital, large-format, bindery, and finishing all run in-house. A job that needs printing, foil stamping, and perfect binding stays with one accountable team from start to finish, which is how we keep quality consistent and turnaround fast.

Offset printing uses metal plates and ink on a sheetfed press; it delivers the most consistent color and the best per-unit cost on larger runs, and it supports Pantone spot colors and a wide range of stocks. Digital printing has no plate cost, so it is faster and more economical for short runs, reprints, and variable-data jobs like personalized mailers. We help you pick the right method based on quantity, color needs, and deadline.

Supply a press-ready PDF with fonts embedded or outlined, images at 300 DPI (150 DPI minimum for large format), and 0.125 inches of bleed on every edge that runs off the page. Build artwork in CMYK and name any Pantone spot colors. For die cutting, foil, embossing, or spot UV, include a separate vector layer set as a spot color to mark where each effect goes. If your files are not ready, our design team can preflight or build them.

We stock coated gloss, silk, and matte papers, uncoated and writing stocks, and heavy boards for packaging and premium cards, typically ranging from about 80 lb text to 130 lb cover and up. Coatings include aqueous, gloss and matte UV, spot UV, and gloss, matte, or soft-touch lamination. Specialty textures like linen, felt, and suede are available on request.

Yes. Because all production is in-house, we can offer rush service on many jobs. Turnaround depends on the quantity, the printing method, and which finishing or binding steps are involved, so contact us with your specs and deadline and we will confirm what is achievable.

There is no fixed minimum. Digital printing makes small runs and one-offs practical, while offset becomes more cost-effective as quantities grow into the thousands. We handle everything from a short run of business cards to large catalog, mailer, and signage orders. Tell us your quantity and we will recommend the most economical method.

Yes. We provide PDF soft proofs for layout and content approval, and hard-copy or press proofs when color accuracy is critical. Our presses are G7-calibrated, so the approved proof is a reliable predictor of the printed result and of any future reprints.

Yes. Design, prepress, offset and digital printing, large format, and the full bindery and finishing line all run in-house. Keeping every step in-house means fewer handoffs, tighter quality control, faster turnaround, and a single point of accountability — your job never leaves our hands between approval and shipping.

We can. We retain your print-ready files and press settings, and because our workflow is G7-calibrated, reprints match the original run closely — even months later or when switching between digital and offset. Just reference your previous order and let us know the quantity you need.
