Same Day Printing Covent Garden

Covent Garden orders print against curtain times and opening hours, not office days. Programmes for tonight, window vinyl before the shop opens, menus before service — and on the Strand side, hearing papers for the courts. Files sent by 21:00 are delivered by 9am, and same-day runs all through the afternoon.

What Covent Garden actually orders
Theatreland is the obvious half: programmes, posters, front-of-house boards and press nights where the deadline is literally the curtain. Around it sits the retail and restaurant grid ordering menus, window graphics and launch material. And the quiet third client is the Aldwych end — barristers and firms serving the Royal Courts of Justice, whose bundles and hearing papers are the same overnight work we run for EC4, just delivered west of the boundary.

Questions we get from Covent Garden
Can you print programmes in time for tonight’s performance?
Yes — if the file is right, programmes are a fold-and-stitch job we run the same day. Send the artwork by early afternoon for an evening curtain, name the stage door on the order, and the courier delivers to the venue, not to an office that closed at six.
Do you deliver to stage doors and venues directly?
Yes — stage door, front of house or box office, whatever you name. Venue deliveries are labelled per venue and handed to a person, because a box left in the wrong lobby in WC2 is as good as lost.
Can you handle a poster and vinyl order together?
Yes, and it is cheaper as one job: posters, mounted boards and window vinyl print on the same wide-format machines, so a season change or launch can go out as a single co-ordinated delivery instead of three suppliers and three couriers.
How late can I send a file for a 9am delivery in WC2?
Files and approval by 21:00 is the realistic window. The workshop is staffed overnight, so later often still works — it depends on run size and machine time. Call at any hour and you get a yes or a no, not a maybe.

Key facts: ordering tonight
- Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, including Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
- Print production runs 24/7; the walk-in counter serves the day and evening, and the status bar at the top of the page shows live whether it is open right now.
- Files and payment received by 21:00 → overnight production for delivery before 9am the next morning, subject to that night’s capacity; we confirm at quotation whether the run fits.
- No fixed overnight cap: tell us the quantity and we say at quotation whether it can be done in time.
- Overnight jobs are normally couriered to arrive before your office opens; collection is arranged around your arrival time — call before you set off after 8pm so the job is bagged and waiting at the counter.
- No minimum for walk-in jobs during the day — one copy is a normal job. Out-of-hours collection or delivery carries a £95 minimum plus courier if required.
- Same-day and overnight courier delivery across London, most often EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, E14 and SW1.
- Exhibition delivery to ExCeL, Olympia, the Business Design Centre and other venues: send us the hall, your stand number, the named person on the stand and their mobile, and the build-day or opening time you need it by; we deliver to the stand.
- Send what you have: we check the artwork before anything goes on press and tell you what to fix; a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 3 mm bleed) is the fastest route.
- Quotes come with a secure payment link — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna; production starts once payment is in.
- Courier delivery within London is usually in the region of £35–45, depending on the postcode and which courier is free; the exact figure is on your quote and is added to the job price.
- A proof is available on request; when we design the artwork you always get a final proof to approve. Print-ready files are printed on site and our operator checks the run against a printed proof sample before it leaves.
- Before we accept an urgent job we look at what could go wrong with the file, the stock and the finishing, and plan so that a reprint would still fit inside your deadline.
- Every order has a dedicated member of staff and an agreed completion deadline; we do not run an e-commerce queue, so the time we give you is for your job.
- Bank transfer is accepted alongside the payment link: tell us when you have sent it — the job goes to production once accounts confirm it has arrived.
- Outside London and towards the M25 courier costs more: we check with the couriers and confirm the price with you before booking.
