Let’s begin this shoot out comparison with a look at what special offers each of these printing companies have.
PrintingForLess
Starting with printingforless.com. As we look at these products, we will not be taking into consideration shipping and handling. We’ll look at that, and make the comparison in the end. The first thing I see on overnight prints is a really good deal on business cards.
Right now if you buy 250 premium business cards for $1.98 you will get another 250 absolutely free. Click to see their other free offers. So all together this is 500 business cards for under $5.00. They have thousands of designs to choose from. If you already have your design camera ready, you can go ahead and upload it using their uploader… For free. All the rest of the products are going to come to the same thing as far as design. Choose theirs or upload your own graphics.
They have many more discounts available. They even have discounts of up to 100% off… What’s better than that? Isn’t that like, free? Hmmm what does…… Have for free?

Here is a list with pictures:
I’m looking at 25 post cards that are usually $5.95. You can get these, made to order and in your hands in three days, for free. They seem to want to impress with quick turn around times. I think printed overnight and shipped the next day is pretty quick. We’ll check out shipping costs later.
They also go on to offer for free these glossy bookmarks. Get them with your favorite scripture verse, and an original design. Or peruse what they have for designs.
You get a total of 25 of these, for the bubble.
Another pretty cool item they are offering at a 100% discount. i.e. free:
You can use this self inking rubber stamp for signatures, or marking something "paid" - now there’s a good feeling! Or stamp a doc that has been faxed…
To wrap up the list of free things being offered at:
10 greeting cards. These must all be the same design. They also have fridge magnets. You get 25 of these. They are the size of a business card so that you can stick you business card on it and the potential customer that you give it too can stick it on their fridge.
There are a few other items being offered at 50% to 100% off. They have a real good deal on flyers, the very professional looking, glossy, threefold ones. I think you get the idea, so now let’s mosey on over to pfl to see what they are offering for free.
At printingforless.com, disapointingly enough, they don’t offer anything for free at this time, and unfortunately when I went back to overnightprints the free offers were gone, really sorry about that! Maybe you can point their customer service people toward this article and then talk them into giving you the same sale deal… I’m not seeing any boasting about three day delivery either. Their emphasis seems to be on quality. Price, turn around time and quality are all very important. Customer service is also important… What about when the free uploader doesn’t work for some reason. Are you going to get help?
Let’s take a look at quality. Let’s see what printing for less offers in the way of giving you all that you pay for and more. Here are some of the points they make to get us to consider the quality of their printing products. If you want a very all inclusive look at PFL, their employees, and their rating of A+ given to them by the Better Business Bureau, go to this page: www.printingforless.com/about.html
You will hear the company’s workers talk about their pride in their work and in their great, wild and beautiful state of Montana. I gotta get there someday and climb Black Mountain! Think I can do it? It’s hard! They talk about the company’s operations, like its onsite day care…Check out the page, really, you’ll get to see some really adorable babies. You know, when you see a company do things like that to take care of their employees, they are definitely going to take care of their customers too. People who take pride in their families and state take pride in their work, so you can expect quality from them.
Overnight Prints
If you want to see what Overnightprints.com offers for quality, you can see just what, specifically they have by going o this page: Overnight prints quality They took a different approach and laid out for everyone, more or less what would be called the "specs" (specifications) of the mataerial and mathods they use to ensure that they are offering the best quality through and through. From the type of high quality paper and card stock, to the brightest, high quality inks…They list it all on this one page. It is worth checking out. You may also want to check out the Overnight Prints 1,000 free business card offer.
As far as Printing for less rates for shipping are concerned: For 250 good sized envelopes, there was a shipping charge of $14.00. It seems like they are using whatever the rates are from FedEx or U.S. Postal, without adding on anything overpriced. The rates at overnightprints seemed comparable. So, rest assured that there are not any gimmicks with product price or shipping with either company. too bad about missing the freebie sale I wrote about. Look for another soon!
