Staples
3.7
(9)
"Staples has large format printers that are pretty good."
"I’d just go to staples and print much cheaper."
"I paid $10 for 25 cards and it came out nice and thick."
"I printed at staples and got great results."
"I liked staples more because they print in store."
"I just printed our invites at staples (designed them myself in procreate) and we’re really happy with them!"
"I’ve personally used a similar approach with Etsy templates and had them printed at Staples, and the quality was decent for the price."
"It's a cheaper option if you DON'T bring it in and ask for it to be printed, but instead go through the online template site."
"If you're on a budget, they'll do. But if you want any level of expertise or photo quality, if you're planning on putting photos on your invites, then go to just about any other print shop."
