The short answer is “No.” Most regular printing services will not offer blueprint printing. This is sometimes because they do not have the technical accuracy required to reliably print blueprints, but often it is because they don’t think to offer such a service. It is sad but true. So, if blueprints are off the menu, what do most printing services offer?

Restaurant Menus

Most printing services will offer restaurant menus simply because there is a high demand for them. Bigger restaurants often change their menus, so they need fancy new ones printed. Smaller companies or the takeaway kind often order menus because they post them out or hand them out in their takeaways.

Leaflets and Fliers

The second most requested items are leaflets and fliers. There was a time, before online affiliate advertising and email when leaflets and fliers were the most popular product. Companies were often flooded with requests for marketing material of this nature.

Wedding Invitations

The third most requested items are wedding invitations. The reason these are requested is that they are often decorative and very fancy things, and most bigger printing services can produce very fancy cards and invitations without charging the massive fees that smaller wedding boutiques charge.

Greeting Cards And Envelopes

This is the fourth most requested item, and this is due to companies like Etsy and Shopify. Even YouTube and TikTok are partly to blame. People start their own merchandise lines, they create their own stuff, and then they have companies like My Printing Matters do the printing for them.

Door Hangers

Yes, door hangers are back in fashion. It was weird because, in a pre-pandemic world, the old door hanger was fading from existence. Yet, now that all the lockdowns are over, companies are happily ordering door hangers by the wagonload. It is still not exactly clear why companies are starting to use them again, but the fact is they are a very popular part of a printing service’s roster.

Signs, Flags answer Stickers

The sixth most popular printed product could be comfortably called, “Marketing material.” It is the sort of stuff that companies use when they are opening, or are re-opening, or having a sales bonanza. They include branded things like stickers, flags, signs, table coverings, wall coverings, posters, and even balloons (don’t use helium balloons). Companies ask for all sorts of things, from magnets to car stickers.

T-Shirts and Mugs

These are popular as one-off novelty presents. They are often seen on things like stag nights and hen nights, and they are also used as mechanize (as mentioned earlier for social media influencers, people on Etsy, etc.).
