Paper Crane Press is a worker owned and operated union print shop started in 1986 to serve the Philadelphia area non-profit community with affordable high quality offset printing. We are committed to helping you be able to present a clean professional image in your printed materials as we believe this can be an important part of the ability to convey your message effectively to the public.
In our shop we have always promoted the use of recycled and tree-free papers and an environmentally responsible workplace, utilizing silver recovery, internal recycling and proper disposal of waste.
We are an I.U. 450 job shop in the IWW - Industrial Workers of the World
We offer traditional offset printing in all Pantone Matching System© colors and digital full color up to 13 x 19. Please see our Digital Files page for more information on accepted file formats.
We accept jobs from camera-ready copy or digital files. Digital files must include linked images and all fonts used. If you use postscript fonts please be sure to include both parts - printer font and screen font.
When using spot color(s) in your file make sure that you use only colors from the Pantone Matching System©. Color elements must all be Pantone colors - not RGB or CMYK. Non Pantone colors may cause delays and additional charges.
Work performed on customer files and/or authors alterations after files are received may incur additional charges. If you have any questions about getting your digital file ready for the printing stage please feel free to call.
Your job can be e-mailed as an attached file, however, it should be compressed first using a utility such as Stuffit (for Mac) or Winzip (for PC). Or you may mail your job after placing it on cd, dvd, thumbdrive or other storage device. Please include hard copy whenever possible. Due to the unpredictable nature of e-mail please notify us by phone to confirm that you have sent an order by that method. We can also accept files by Dropbox.com or other free file transfer services (contact us for recommendation).
