How it works

Straight answers before you order

Quantities: Standard quantities start as low as the product allows (many products from 100 pieces; some, like business cards, from 250). Custom quantities are available on request, and the Job Builder shows the quantities available for each product as you configure it.
Pickup & shipping: Will-call pickup at our Vista facility is free, with a barcode pickup workflow so anyone you send can collect the order. Local delivery and shipping are available at cost, quoted before the job runs. When a local delivery goes out on Plavidian's van, the out-for-delivery email links to a page that shows how many stops are ahead of yours and, once the van is close, where it is.
Turnaround: Production time starts after proof approval, and the builder shows an estimated completion date when you order. A 2-day rush is available on certain products up to a set quantity; the order form offers it where it applies.
Artwork help: Upload print-ready PDFs and we preflight them for bleed, resolution, and clear-zone problems automatically. Not print-ready? Design help is available; just describe what you need on the quote form.
Mailing to your list: Upload a spreadsheet and we standardize the addresses, remove duplicates, and prepare the mailing. You see the list analysis and the postage estimate before anything mails.
Pricing: Common products price instantly in the Job Builder. Anything custom, oversized, or unusual gets a human quote, usually the same business day.

Pick your path

Three ways to start

Order online, pick up in Vista. Standard print can be configured, priced and paid for here, then collected from the production floor with no shipping leg at all. Every job gets the same preflight, proof, and production checks, whether it is 100 pieces or 100,000.
