Five Star Printing

Commercial printing still hums along mid-block on 37th. Five Star Printing, in a building where the clatter of presses drops as quietly as an engineer’s wave-off, turns around single-page flyers as fast as forty-page catalogs. Jobs arrive on a thumb drive, over email or in a sealed courier pouch—bindery includes folding, saddle-stitching, perfect binding even those watertight film wraps some logistics firms demand. Prepress is color-managed straight off your PDF or InDesign file, proofed to Pantone specs and shipped back for a final thumbs-up. Need 100 pocket schedules for a trade show opening day? (212) 929-0300 is the number where they patch you through straight to the plate desk.

The address reads 225 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018, in the same garment district heartbeat that feeds the showrooms upstairs. You can always swing the copy request off early if a late job lands on the plate earlier than expected—just call and let them know. When you’re ready to drop off files or pick up finished stock, queue it up in one click. The lobby keeps the same hours as the elevators—after the buzzer stops, it’s on their schedule alone.
