Where it pays off most

Where rush delivery makes the biggest difference

Not every print job needs speed, but when it does, rush delivery earns its keep. Here is where it makes the difference, and how to get the most from a tight deadline.

Deadlines that suddenly move up

When an event gets pushed forward or inventory runs out faster than expected, rush turnaround gets materials in hand fast. Check the Printing Features Guide for the turnaround options available on each product before you order.

Large runs on a tight clock

Need a big quantity fast? Rush delivery still pairs with Bulk Discounts, so you get a low per-unit price and hit the deadline at the same time. You do not have to choose between the two.

Test the stock before you commit

Ordering something time-sensitive? Request Free Samples first to feel the paper and finish, then place the rush order with confidence. No surprises when the box arrives.

Locked-in pricing, even in a hurry

Speed never costs you a better rate. Every rush order still carries the Price Match guarantee alongside the on-time and quality guarantees, so a tight deadline never means a worse price.

The numbers tell the story. Here is how rush delivery holds up on real deadlines.

When the deadline moves

Rush delivery for the moment the deadline shifts

Rush delivery from 4OVER4 means your print materials arrive when you actually need them, not a week after the event already happened. Deadlines do not wait, and neither should your printer.

4OVER4 built its reputation on speed that keeps the quality intact. With 99.8% on-time delivery across every order and 82% of orders shipping early, a rush order here is not a gamble. It is backed by more than 25 years of printing, whether you are prepping for a last-minute trade show or replacing materials that ran out faster than expected.

Rush, without the compromise

Fast turnaround that never sacrifices quality

Rush does not mean rushed. Every order that runs through 4OVER4 rush delivery gets the same quality checks as a standard turnaround, so you still get sharp color reproduction, clean cuts, and premium paper stocks.

A restaurant owner who needs menus by Friday has different needs than an event planner who needs 5,000 flyers by tomorrow morning. Rush delivery is built to handle both, and everything in between, with multiple turnaround speeds you pick to match your deadline and your budget.

"We ordered 2,000 postcards on a Tuesday afternoon with rush delivery. They arrived Thursday morning, a full day before our grand opening. The print quality was flawless."

Marcus L., Restaurant Owner

Rush vs standard turnaround

When speed is what actually matters

Standard turnaround works great when you plan ahead. But deadlines change. Events get moved up. Inventory runs out faster than expected. That is when rush delivery earns its keep.

With standard orders 4OVER4 already ships 82% of orders early. Rush delivery compresses that timeline even further, often to same-day or next-day production, because your order is prioritized in the queue.

Many online printers charge premium rush fees and still cannot guarantee a delivery date. 4OVER4 backs every rush order with an on-time guarantee. If it does not arrive when promised, that is on 4OVER4, not you. Your deadline is the commitment, with no excuses and no fine print.

Our Story

Partner With Innovators

They told us we were crazy. We don't want to be sane.
1999

The Beginning

In 1999, Google was barely starting out. WiFi didn't exist. People were afraid of Y2K. And two best friends, second-generation immigrants and patent-holding engineers in Queens, New York, launched 4OVER4.COM as the second web-based printer in the entire United States.

First

The Innovation

4OVER4 was the first printer to introduce full-color printing with 24 to 48 hour turnaround. When the industry said it couldn't be done that fast, they did it anyway. No compromises, no excuses, just engineering.

Today

27 Years and Counting

Over 350 products. More than 6,000 possible combinations. 150,000+ businesses served, from solo freelancers to Google and the United Nations. A facility in Queens that still runs on vegetable inks and waterless presses — built that way from day one because it was the right thing to do.
