Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service

Drop off a print file before 4 PM Eastern and Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service will have it ready the same day, which is the whole reason a shop like this exists in a city that runs on deadlines. Black-and-white and color document printing turns around in about an hour. The catalog behind that promise is wider than the speed pitch suggests: business cards in standard, premium, ultra-thick and round-corner stock, bi-fold and tri-fold brochures, flyers, posters, large-format work, vinyl banners, retractable banner stands, fabric display booths, flags, booklets, postcards, stickers, labels, foam boards, menus, and NCR forms in two-part and three-part sets with optional sequential numbering.

Same-day printing and document services

That last item is worth pausing on, because it says something about who the shop is really set up for. Sequentially numbered carbonless forms are a contractor and back-office product, not something a print chain pushes on its home page. The same goes for the wedding invitations and obituary booklets sitting alongside corporate collateral. The range reads like a business that has spent its years saying yes to whatever a walk-in customer needed printed. Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service has been at it since 2008, which puts it past the sixteen-year mark.

Carbonless forms for contractors

The geography is part of the offer. Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service runs two physical locations: one in the Midtown Manhattan and Times Square area, and one at 2974 John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City. Local pickup is available at either, and orders that need to travel ship nationally through UPS. A poster you can hold by end of day beats a cheaper one that arrives in a week when the meeting is tomorrow.

Two locations with local pickup

The mechanics are laid out clearly enough to plan around. Same-day jobs need to be submitted by 4 PM EST, and that cutoff is stated up front instead of buried, which is the key detail when timing is the whole reason for choosing the place. Document printing carries the one-hour turnaround for black-and-white and color. For anything needing real volume, the model shifts: bulk offset printing for larger runs takes three to five business days, and volume discounts kick in once an order passes 2,500 units. So Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service covers the rush job and the long print run under the same roof, with different timelines for each and no pretense that 5,000 booklets come out in an hour.

Submission deadlines and turnaround times

On the production side, Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service runs an in-house design studio. Customers can start from templates and customize them or upload their own artwork, which suits both the person who has a finished file and the one who needs help shaping it. There is an online quote request system and order tracking on the website, so a job can be priced and followed without a phone call, though the phones are there if you want them. Having them in one place is the point.

Design studio with templates or custom uploads

What the site does not do is publish a flat price list, which is normal for custom printing where stock, finish, and quantity move the number around. The quote system stands in for that. It is a fair trade, even if it means you cannot eyeball a cost in two seconds.

Contact information is easy to track down, and that counts for a vendor you might be handing a deadline to. The NYC line (212.871.4430) and the Jersey City line (201.222.3393) both appear on the site, and the Jersey City street address is confirmed at 2974 JFK Boulevard. A customer service email is listed on the company's Facebook page. Between two numbers, two addresses, and an online quote-and-tracking flow, there is no mystery about how to reach the people printing your job or where to collect it.

Online quotes and order tracking

Outside opinion is limited, and worth being straight about. On Yelp, the Jersey City listing sits at 3.5 stars across eight reviews, with a second Yelp entry for the same address carrying fewer. Facebook shows two reviews without an aggregate rating. There is a Better Business Bureau profile in New Jersey, though the search did not confirm its accreditation status. No Trustpilot or Google review tally surfaced. Eight reviews at three and a half stars is a small, middling sample, not a chorus of praise and not a string of complaints. For a sixteen-year-old shop, you might expect more footprint online, and the modest review count is the honest soft spot in the picture.

Weigh that against the operational specifics and the math leans practical. Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service prints obituary booklets and numbered NCR forms and same-day flyers from two staffed counters, selling reliability under time pressure, and that is exactly the kind of need an uneven review trail does not capture well. People who get their banner on time tend not to post about it. Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service is also clear about the parts that disappoint nobody when stated early: the 4 PM cutoff, the multi-day offset timeline, the volume threshold for discounts.

The template-or-upload choice in the design studio is the kind of small flexibility that saves a real headache. A customer with a press-ready PDF is not forced through a builder, and a customer with nothing but an idea is not left to figure out bleed and trim alone. Order tracking closes the loop after submission, which on a same-day job means checking a screen instead of calling to ask if it is done yet. Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service built its menu around exactly those pressures, and the fabric display booths and retractable stands point to trade-show clients for whom hard deadlines are the whole game.

The wedding invitations and obituary work mean Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service handles personal, one-off jobs alongside corporate accounts, so a single customer might use it for both ends of life and never deal with a different vendor. What Daffodil Print: Same-Day Service spreads across two staffed counters is a quick-turn document operation, large-format capacity, and bulk offset runs, backed by phones, addresses, and an online quote system that all check out. The review trail is eight Yelp ratings averaging 3.5 stars and a couple of Facebook entries, so the strongest evidence is the breadth and specificity of what the shop prints, the stated 4 PM same-day cutoff, and sixteen years of doing it from two locations. The operation itself is more detailed than its star count.
