FAQ |
 Why would I want to print overseas?
The simple reason is to save money. On the average, printing with MCRL costs between 30%-50% less than printing domestically. Use the savings to print on higher quality stock, add die cuts, embossing or other features.
How long will an overseas printing job take from start to finish?
 7 - 9 days - Press proofs preparation
1 - 2 weeks - Printing, binding, packing (This may vary depending on complexity and quantity of your order)
12 - 18 days - Shipping by sea to the west coast (e.g. Vancouver)
3 - 7 days - Deliver to the east coast address.
What kind of file format do you accept for printing?
We can accept artwork in the following formats:
QuarkXPress
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe PageMaker
Adobe In Design
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Acrobat

What kind of proofing do you provide?
We promise to deliver the actual printing proof directly from our overseas printing press to you, before the entire print run begins. Digital color proof is also available.
Is there a minimum order for overseas printing?
Normally, most of our jobs are 3,000 copies and up and we will print as few as 500 copies depending on the specifications.
Does your price include ocean freight and customs fee?
Yes. Unless otherwise requested, most of our quoted prices are based on C.I.F. Vancouver or Toronto . Ocean freight charges and customs-related fees are included with the exception of random customs exam fees. Items quoted separately are in-land transportation to the final destination and additional distribution/mailing services.
Can you deliver the shipment to a destination I specify?
Yes. We will carefully manage your project from start to finish and ensure "door-to-door" delivery to one or many destinations that you specify.
We are able to ship your order anywhere in the world. So whether you are shipping to your main office in Canada or to your branch offices in Istanbul or Paris, we can deliver your order promptly and in the most cost-effective manner.
Can you handle fulfillment & bulk-mailing?
Yes. We have contracted a mailing service company to handle our mailing. This has great cost-saving potential for our customers in not needing to transport the printed pieces to a distant mailing house just to do the same bulk mailing that we can do close to the port of entry.
