We don’t sell to retail consumers, so we never compete with our customers for their clients. ### Do you offer white-label and blind shipping? + Yes, on every order. We ship directly to your client or job site with no Interstate Graphics branding on the packaging or paperwork. ### Is there a minimum order quantity? + No. There are no minimums, and small runs are welcome. Our digital presses make short runs economical, and we scale to national rollout quantities. ### What is the largest size you can print? + Up to 126 inches wide at up to 1200 dpi. Our Inca Onset X3 HS flatbed prints rigid sheets up to 126.8" x 63" and up to 1.8" thick. Larger graphics such as wall murals are produced in panels. ### What printing methods do you offer? + UV flatbed and roll-to-roll wide-format printing (UV, latex, and UVgel), automated flatbed screen printing with up to 6 UV colors and custom PMS matching, and sheet-fed digital printing on our Konica Minolta press for commercial print. ### Is everything produced in-house? + Yes. Prepress, printing, finishing, kitting, and shipping all happen in our own facilities with our own equipment and operators. Nothing is brokered or outsourced. ### What finishing services do you offer? + CNC router cutting, steel-rule die cutting, laminating, heat bending, sonic welding, mounting, grommeting, hemming, pole pockets, and full structural assembly for POP displays and signage. ### Do you handle kitting and fulfillment? + Yes. We warehouse, kit, pick and pack, and ship to one location or hundreds of stores, including just-in-time delivery and multi-location retail rollouts. ### How quickly will I get a quote? + Within one business day. Include the product, quantity, finished size, in-hands date, and ship-to ZIP so our estimators can price the job, including freight, without calling you back. ### What are typical turnaround times? + It depends on the product and quantity. For example, screen printing is typically 5-7 business days from proof approval, and sheet-fed brochures typically 3-5 business days from approved artwork. Rush production is available; tell us your in-hands date. ### How do you manage color? + We are a G7 Master Facility certified by Idealliance. Our presses are calibrated to G7 so color stays consistent across digital, screen, and different substrates, and from the first run to the last. ### Can you help prepare my files? + Yes. Our prepress team handles file preparation, proofing, color management, and structural dieline design. Every job is proofed before it goes to press. ### Where are you located and where do you ship? + We are in Machesney Park, Illinois, near Rockford, and operate 42,000 sq ft across two facilities. We ship nationwide. ### How long has Interstate Graphics been in business? + Since 1985. We are family-owned and operated. ### Are you a sustainable printer? + Yes. We are an SGP Certified facility (Sustainable Green Printing Partnership). ## Have a question we didn’t answer? Tell us what you need and we’ll get you a quote fast.
