The FedEx Office Alternative Built for Serious Printing
Nadia is our customer education voice, built from the knowledge of our production team, with over 20 years in printing.
FedEx Office runs a copy counter with a short print menu. 4OVER4.COM prints rack cards, sales sheets, stickers and business cards from its Queens plant, and the table below sets the two side by side on products, paper, finishes, speed and guarantees.

Where the counter runs short
Six gaps rack card and sell sheet buyers hit at FedEx Office
A dedicated printer, not a copy counter
FedEx Office pairs shipping and self-serve copies with a limited print menu. 4OVER4.COM is a commercial printer whose catalog runs to 1,000+ products company wide, so rack cards, sales sheets, stickers, and business cards all come from one press built for the job.
More stocks per product
A retail copy counter carries a short list of house stocks. Rack cards alone come in 15 stocks here, from 13pt recycled uncoated to 18pt premium white linen and 15pt synthetic plastic.
Reliability and track record
Printing since 1999 in its own Queens plant, where every artwork passes a 30-point checklist before it prints.
Midnite Black board
Black business cards print on 32pt, 48pt, 64pt or 80pt Midnite Black board in white ink or CMYK plus white, a stock no copy counter keeps behind the desk.
Free design tools
The whole 4OVER4.COM catalog shares 10,000+ design templates and a free online designer (Canvs), plus free print-ready blank templates. No design software to buy and no per-hour design desk fee.
Rewards and guarantees
New customers get 200 business cards free, and coins build up on every order.
Stock in the hand
From 13pt rack card cover to 80pt black board
A FedEx Office rack card comes off the cover stock behind the counter. Ours print in 3.5 x 8.5 or 4 x 9 on white or cream uncoated, gloss, linen, soft touch or synthetic cover, with 30% and 100% recycled sheets among them.
Pricing
The base price already includes a free file check, and a competitor quote for the same specs is matched and beaten by 10%.
Quality
A free online proof on rack cards and sales sheets, with a next day hardcopy proof when the color has to be seen on paper first.
Support
Real print experts answer the phone, so a file question gets a person instead of a counter queue.
Paper for a sell sheet
The stock decides how a sell sheet works. 100lb gloss text is the default, since color stays rich and the sheet lies flat in a pocket folder. 70lb uncoated is the pick when reps write on it during the meeting. 14pt card is for a sheet that has to stand in a rack or survive three days on a show floor. Synthetic plastic, in 8mil or 15pt, is there for a sheet that gets wet or handled all day.
Sell sheet quantities
The quantity tiers do the work: 100 sales sheets cost $108.75 and 1,000 cost $240.55, so the price per sheet falls from about $1.09 to about 24 cents.
Beyond the house stocks
Finishes and products a FedEx Office counter does not stock
Paper and finish selection
Here the options depend on the product: rack cards take a high gloss UV coating or 16pt soft touch, die cut stickers print on white vinyl, clear label or hi-gloss label, and black business cards take painted edges.
Product range
Rack cards, sales sheets, stickers, business cards, postcards, brochures, banners, labels, booklets, door hangers and table tents all go on one account, where the FedEx Office print menu stops at copy-shop basics.

A sell sheet at a FedEx Office counter is a copy job: 8.5 by 11 inches on the house text weight behind the desk. Same page size here, plus 8.5 x 14, 9 x 12, 11 x 17 and 11 x 25.5. Sales sheets start at $75.80 for 50, and a sheet can fold, from a half fold or trifold to a gate fold, or take a three-hole punch for a binder.
Two versions a copy counter cannot run at all: kraft sales sheets on 18pt brown kraft cover, from $166.04 for 100, which suits a workshop, a roaster, or a food brand where a glossy sheet looks wrong, and metallic sales sheets on 16pt gloss cover with a metallic foil accent behind a spec table or a price list, from $317.44 for 500. Order 100 for a single trade show table, 500 or 1,000 when the sheet goes into every folder for a quarter. Pair them with rack cards if the same message also has to stand in a display.
Counter pricing and plant pricing
Moving rack cards, sell sheets and stickers off the FedEx Office counter
A walk-up counter prices the job on the spot. Ordered here, each run is priced by quantity tier, the stock comes from the product's own list, and the proof is checked online before anything prints.
Why businesses are switching from FedEx Office
If you have been running rack cards, sales sheets, and stickers through the FedEx Office print counter, you know the routine: a short menu of house stocks, self-serve copiers, and pricing built for convenience rather than volume. Ordering here moves that work onto a dedicated press.
Online, you start a rack card or sell sheet from one of the free Design Templates instead of asking the counter staff to rework a file, and you pick the stock and the finish instead of taking the house stock. Each order also earns coins in the Loyalty Program toward the next run.
Copy counter versus printer, the short version
FedEx Office runs a shipping and copy business with a print menu attached. 4OVER4.COM runs a printing company, and the catalog shows it: rack cards in 3.5 x 8.5 or 4 x 9 on gloss, uncoated, linen and soft touch cover, die cut stickers from 2 x 2 up to 11 x 11 inches, and black business cards on Midnite Black board.
The practical difference is choice: a high gloss UV coating, rounded corners in a 1/8 or 3/8 inch radius, and variable data such as names or codes on each card.
How pricing compares to FedEx Office
FedEx Office prices print at the counter, per page or per copy. 4OVER4.COM prices by the run, so the cost per piece falls as the quantity rises: 50 rack cards cost $42.84, while 1,000 cost $195.95.
Die cut stickers start at a run of 25 and rack cards at 50, and on both the price per piece drops as you move up the quantity tiers. Sales sheets, flyers and business cards follow the same bulk tiers on the same paper and finish options. Free file review, free cutting, and careful packaging come in the base price, so no surprise fee turns up when the box arrives.
Print quality a copy counter cannot touch
FedEx Office runs digital copiers and small-format presses behind a retail counter. 4OVER4.COM prints in its own NYC plant, where every artwork passes a pre-press check and the presses run to a G7 color profile.
Hold a rigid 16pt rack card with a gloss coating next to a counter copy and the weight gives it away. A die cut sticker gets trimmed to your own outline, basic or complex, on white vinyl or clear label.
Where 4OVER4.COM pulls ahead
A FedEx Office counter gives you a clerk and a copier. Here you get print-ready blank templates, 10,000+ design templates and a free online designer, so your rack card or sell sheet layout is done before you order, and stickers, sales sheets and black business cards sit on one account instead of three vendors.
Before a trade show, check the delivery record first. 4OVER4.COM ships 82% of orders early, and every order is covered by a price match plus quality, on-time, service and satisfaction guarantees.
Who 4OVER4.COM is the right FedEx Office alternative for
Keep FedEx Office for shipping a package or running a few self-serve copies of a meeting agenda. Move the pieces a customer holds: a 4 x 9 rack card in a lobby display, a sell sheet in a pocket folder, a black business card on 32pt Midnite Black stock. Those three are the pieces where stock weight and finish show.
Designers and agencies managing several clients get every product under one account, with the same G7 color from one job to the next.
What sets 4OVER4.COM apart
The difference you can check yourself is the paper. Order Free Samples, lay them next to your last FedEx Office rack card or sell sheet, and compare the stock and the trim in your own hands.
The verdict
Keep FedEx Office for a package or a few copies. Move rack cards, sell sheets, stickers and business cards here for more stocks per product, real finishes and prices that fall with every quantity tier.
File prep
Preparing the PDF you used to hand to the FedEx Office clerk
At a FedEx Office counter you bring a document and let the operator fix it. Online, you make those fixes yourself before upload, and the checklist below covers them.
- Export one PDF rather than the working file, so nothing shifts when it opens elsewhere.
- Build the artwork in CMYK, because print color is mixed from ink rather than lit from a screen.
- Keep photographs at 300 dpi at the final printed size, not at the size they looked fine on screen.
- Extend backgrounds an eighth of an inch past the trim so the cut never leaves a white sliver.
- Keep text a safe distance inside the trim so nothing sits on the blade.
Free file review runs on every order here, so anything missed gets flagged before press rather than after a box arrives. That is the counter conversation, moved to the point where it still costs nothing.

FedEx Office switch questions
Common Questions
Counter pricing against our starting prices, sell sheet lead times before a trade show, the Kinkos name change, paper stocks, and foil or spot UV finishes. Every other printing question sits on our FAQs hub.
Do I need a local print shop to get sales sheets printed?
No. The file goes up, the proof comes back, and the finished run ships to you with tracking. That removes the trip and the counter queue, and it opens up stocks a walk-in menu does not carry, such as 15pt synthetic plastic for a sheet that gets wet.
How far ahead should I order sales sheets for a trade show?
Work back from the show and leave room for three steps: your own proof check, production, and transit. Ordering the week before a show leaves no margin for a correction. Many products qualify for same-day shipping when the order is placed by 12pm ET, so a tight deadline is workable, but the comfortable version is booking it earlier.
Is 4OVER4.COM cheaper than FedEx Office for printing?
Compare the same job on both quotes. Here 500 rack cards cost $104.57 with cutting in the base price and no counter fee. If a FedEx Office quote comes in lower for the same specs and turnaround, the price match beats it by 10%.
What paper options does 4OVER4.COM offer that FedEx Office does not?
Across the whole catalog 4OVER4.COM carries 60+ paper types, including kraft, linen, pearl metallic, cotton, uncoated, and ultra-thick 32pt cardstock. For the products on this page that means rack cards on 14pt white linen or 16pt soft touch, sales sheets on gloss or silk text, 70lb uncoated or synthetic plastic, die cut stickers on white vinyl or clear label, and black business cards on Midnite Black board. A FedEx Office copy counter typically offers a short list of house stocks.
Was FedEx Office once called Kinkos?
Yes. Kinko's was acquired by FedEx and rebranded as FedEx Office in 2008, which is why our Kinkos sticker printing alternative page sits under the same comparison. Whether you searched for Kinkos or FedEx Office, 4OVER4.COM is the dedicated printer that covers what the copy counter cannot.
Can I get specialty finishes like foil or spot UV through 4OVER4.COM?
Yes, on the products built for them. Metallic sales sheets carry a foil accent with an optional spot UV front, rack cards and standard sales sheets take a high gloss UV coating, and black business cards take painted edges in 20 colors, metallic gold, silver and copper among them, or a custom mix. Foil stamping and soft-touch lamination also run on the premium business card lines.
Does 4OVER4.COM offer any guarantees?
4OVER4.COM backs every order with five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction. Satisfaction means money back, and service means a person answers on 718-932-2700, by phone or SMS.
What if I am comparing other printers besides FedEx Office?
The Staples alternative page covers the other big retail counter, and the full alternatives hub holds comparison pages for dozens of online printers.
