Stock, range and rewards
Six things Primoprint's 80-product catalog cannot cover
Sixty-plus stocks against a limited list
Primoprint offers a limited paper selection. 4OVER4.COM keeps 60+ paper types across its catalog, with kraft, linen, pearl, cotton and plastic among the business card stocks alone.
Twelve times the catalog
Primoprint lists 80+ products. 4OVER4.COM lists 1,000+, so black business cards on 32pt Midnite Black, brochures on 100# Gloss Text, banners, stickers, labels, booklets, door hangers, rack cards and table tents all go on one order.
Three business days on the staples
Standard postcards, flyers and brochures each print in 3 business days, and black business cards in 6, with a 1 day option on the black cards for 35% more.
Cardstock up to 80pt
Black business cards start at 32pt Midnite Black Uncoated and go to 80pt, and 24pt Ultra Thick Gloss Cover is the heavy gloss option on the standard postcard.
Canvs, templates and blanks at no charge
Open a template in Canvs, the free online designer, or download a free print-ready blank template for the product you are ordering. Nothing to install and nothing to license before the first run.
Coins on every order, 200 cards free
New customers get 200 free business cards, and every order after that earns loyalty coins toward the next one.
Paper
The paper under the finish
Paper choice is the first gap. On postcards alone that means 14pt Gloss Cover, 16pt Uncoated with Soft Touch, 18pt Premium White Linen, 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice and 18pt Rigid Vinyl, and the stock is the first thing a hand notices.
Color is the second thing. The presses are G7 color profiled, so a brochure and a business card that carry the same brand blue match, and next quarter's reorder matches both.
Pricing
500 standard flyers cost $108.75 and 1,000 cost $126.32, so the second 500 adds under $18.
Samples
The free samples kit ships free, so 14pt Gloss Cover and 24pt Ultra Thick can sit side by side before you decide.
Support
A person answers on 718-932-2700, by phone or SMS, and a free proof comes with every order.
Stock and range
22 postcard stocks and cards from 32pt to 80pt
Twenty-two postcard stocks, five finishes
Primoprint offers a limited paper selection. A 4OVER4.COM postcard can be ordered on 22 stocks, from 10pt StarLustre Platinum to 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice, and each one changes the price on the calculator before you commit. Kraft postcards have a line of their own on 18pt recycled kraft in 16 sizes, 100 for $28.49.
Ten product lines on one invoice
Primoprint lists 80+ products. Brochures, banners, stickers, labels, booklets, door hangers, rack cards and table tents go on the same 4OVER4.COM invoice as the cards and postcards.

Wally explains the switch from Primoprint
The fastest way to feel the upgrade
Primoprint keeps the paper list short. 4OVER4.COM puts the card on the stock you pick: start with 200 free business cards, then move the design to soft touch, spot UV or 32pt Midnite Black for the full run.

The long read
Primoprint and 4OVER4.COM, paper by paper and product by product
Primoprint keeps a tidy 80-product list on a limited paper range. The parts below cover what runs out first, pricing once a finish is added, stock, guarantees and fit.
Where an 80-product catalog runs out first
Primoprint does dependable work on its 80+ products. The list runs out on shapes and finishes: oval and other custom-shaped cards, painted edges and velvet lamination are products here and not options there.
Invitations are a second gap: the premium invitations range covers flat, folded, foil and letterpress styles. For a larger mailing, the direct mail marketing campaign guide walks through the planning.
Pricing once a finish is added
Primoprint is competitive on standard products. Price both printers again once you add spot UV, foil stamping or die-cutting, because the finish moves the total more than the base card does. At 4OVER4.COM, 500 spot UV business cards cost $76.88 and 1,000 cost $89.63.
Every 4OVER4.COM price already includes a free file check, and the per-piece cost drops as the quantity climbs.
From 13pt classic to 80pt soft touch
Paper is where the two catalogs differ most. Classic business cards run on 74 stocks from 13pt to 80pt, and soft touch cards come in four weights, 32pt, 48pt, 64pt and 80pt, from 50 for $40.28.
Every artwork goes through a 30-point checklist before it prints, the review the 5 Gold Guarantees rest on.
Who this Primoprint alternative is right for
A small business ordering its first 100 cards that wants a heavier or textured stock than a short list allows, and agencies juggling several clients who want postcards, brochures and banners under one account.
The verdict
The better pick once the paper list matters: more stocks per product, finishes sold as products of their own and a published price match.
Ratings, both printers
4.8 out of 5 from 10,000+ reviews, every product included
That 4.8 comes from 10,000+ reviews across every 4OVER4.COM product: Google 4.8 and Facebook 4.7. For Primoprint, read the dated reviews at the source; paper range and turnaround decide the choice.

Primoprint questions
Common Questions
Six answers for Primoprint buyers on products, price, turnaround, finishes, other comparisons and guarantees. Every other printing question is on our FAQs hub.
Does 4OVER4.COM offer the same products as Primoprint?
Yes, and then some: business cards, postcards, flyers, banners, brochures and stickers are all here, plus the specialty cards a short list leaves out. Visit the Help Center if you need help finding a specific product.
Is 4OVER4.COM more expensive than Primoprint?
On standard products the two sit close, so price the same specs at both. If Primoprint quotes lower in writing for an identical product, the price match guarantee matches it and beats it by 10%.

99.8% of orders arrive on time and 82% ship ahead of schedule. Many products can ship the same day when the order is in by 12pm ET, and rush tiers are priced at checkout.
Can I get specialty finishes like spot UV or foil at 4OVER4.COM?
Yes. Spot UV, raised spot UV, foil stamping and velvet lamination are ordered like any other product. Spot UV business cards, for one, print at 2 x 3.5 on 14pt or 16pt gloss or 16pt silk laminated cover in 5 business days.
What if I am also comparing other printers besides Primoprint?
The Bannerbuzz alternative and 123Print alternative pages use the same feature table, so you can read three printers row by row.

Yes. Every order carries five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service and Ultimate Satisfaction, which is money back. It holds from the first order, a 50-postcard test run for $16.48 included.
