7 Best Printing Services in Singapore (August 2026)

Four things worth understanding before you brief anyone.

• Quantity does almost all the work. On Gogoprint economy name cards the published ladder runs S$6.39 for 100, S$20.03 for 500, S$39.13 for 1,000, S$96.14 for 5,000 and S$144.43 for 10,000. Per card that is 6.4 cents down to 1.4 cents. If you are ordering 100 cards because 500 sounds extravagant, you are saving about fourteen dollars and paying five times as much per card.
• Digital versus offset is the reason for that curve. Digital printing has no plate to make, so a run of 50 costs roughly fifty times a run of one. Offset needs plates and makeready before a single sheet comes off, and that fixed cost spreads across the run, so the unit price keeps falling the longer it goes. Short runs and variable data go digital. Long runs and exact colour go offset.
• Turnaround is priced separately, and it runs on a clock. Gogoprint quotes an 11am cutoff for same-day name card delivery by 6pm. Ontimeprint takes same-day orders until 10am. ExpressPrint starts same-day production on orders in before 3pm. These are morning deadlines, not a promise that today means today whenever you click.
• GST is 9 percent, and not every printer charges it. A business only has to register for GST once its taxable turnover passes S$1 million, so smaller shops legitimately quote without it. Kiasu Print displays a no-GST notice. On a S$2,000 print bill that is S$180. If your own company is GST-registered the advantage mostly disappears, because you would have claimed that input tax back anyway.

One more that costs people real money: check the artwork specification before you send. Bleed of 3mm, a safe margin inside the trim, CMYK not RGB, fonts outlined or embedded, and images at 300dpi. Every printer on this page publishes its own template. Download it. A reprint costs the whole job again, and no printer will absorb it when the file was wrong on arrival.

If you are printing name cards, you are usually doing other brand things in the same week. My guides to the best corporate gift suppliers in Singapore and the best coworking spaces in Singapore cover the two things most often bought alongside a first card order.

Gogoprint puts its entire price ladder on the product page, which almost nobody else in this market does, and that alone earns it first place. You can see that economy name cards run S$6.39 for 100, S$20.03 for 500, S$39.13 for 1,000, S$96.14 for 5,000 and S$144.43 for 10,000 before you speak to anyone.

That transparency does something useful beyond convenience. It lets you work out the right quantity rather than guessing. At 1.8 cents a card in a 5,000 run, the question stops being what cards cost and becomes how many you will genuinely hand out before your details change. For most people the honest answer is 500, and now you can price that in ten seconds.

Stock choice is decent for the money: 260g, 310g and 350g art card, 250g linen, 300g brightwhite and 300g kraft, in three sizes, with matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination and rounded corners available. Minimum order is 100. Same-day delivery on economy name cards runs off an 11am cutoff for arrival by 6pm.

The known weakness is support responsiveness, which is the usual trade for a self-serve platform at this price. If your job is standard and your file is correct, that never comes up. If you need someone to work through an unusual spec with you, start somewhere else.

Best for: Knowing the price before you ask

ExpressPrint has been printing in Singapore since 2005 and carries well over a hundred products, which makes it the sensible default when a single job spans several formats. It also publishes a triple guarantee covering quality, delivery and price, and a guarantee you can point at is worth more than a promise on a phone call.

Same-day production starts on orders placed before 3pm, the latest cutoff of anyone here, and delivery is free islandwide above S$100. Soy inks and recycled stock are part of standard production rather than a paid upgrade, which matters if you are printing for a client who asks about it.

One caveat worth stating plainly. ExpressPrint publishes its own comparison of Singapore printers, and it scores itself highest on that page. That is normal marketing and it does not make the company worse, but do not read a printer's own league table as an independent verdict. Read it for the list of competitors it names, which is genuinely useful.

Trading since: 2005
Same-day cutoff: 3pm for same-day production
Delivery: Free islandwide above S$100
Best for: Multi-format jobs and a written guarantee

Ontimeprint builds its business around speed rather than treating it as an add-on. Orders placed before 10am can go out for same-day delivery, and next-day is the standard rather than the exception across name cards, booklets and general commercial work.

The 10am cutoff is earlier than the 3pm at ExpressPrint, and that is not a criticism. An earlier cutoff usually means the delivery run is planned rather than improvised, which is what you want when the cards have to be in your hand for a 6pm event. Vague same-day promises with no stated cutoff are the ones to worry about.

Use this one when the date is immovable. For a job you could collect on Thursday, you will pay less elsewhere.

Same-day cutoff: 10am
Core products: Name cards, booklets, general commercial print
Best for: A fixed deadline you cannot move

Kiasu Print has been going since 2017 and occupies a corner of the market the online platforms mostly ignore: company rubber stamps, common seals, self-inking stamps and small name card runs, with walk-in and self-collect from Paya Ubi Industrial Park. Bundle promotions run on stamps and seals together, which is exactly what a newly incorporated company needs in week one.

It also displays a no-GST notice, meaning it sits under the S$1 million registration threshold and does not add the 9 percent. On small jobs that is a few dollars. On a larger order it is real money, and it is a saving nobody advertises because most printers cannot offer it.

Read that carefully rather than just as a discount. If your own business is GST-registered you would have reclaimed that input tax anyway, so the benefit lands mainly with sole proprietors and small firms below the threshold. And the notice does tell you the size of the operation, which is fine for stamps and small runs and is not who you brief for a 10,000 piece campaign.

Website: kiasuprint.com
Established: 2017
Specialities: Rubber stamps, common seals, name cards, stickers
Collection: Self-collect at Paya Ubi Industrial Park
Best for: New company setup, and quotes without 9 percent GST

Pullupstand does banners, pull-up stands, backdrops and exhibition displays, and it is worth understanding that large format is genuinely a different business from sheet-fed printing. Different presses, different substrates, different finishing. A printer that is excellent at name cards is not automatically the right call for a three metre backdrop.

What you are buying here is the hardware as much as the print: the stand mechanism, the tension system, the case it travels in. A cheap pull-up banner with a weak spring mechanism looks identical on day one and leans drunkenly by the third event. If you are doing more than one show a year, that is the specification to interrogate.

Do not brief this one for name cards, and do not brief a name card shop for your exhibition stand. Matching the printer to the format is most of the decision.

Website: pullupstand.com
Specialises in: Pull-up stands, banners, backdrops, exhibition displays
Ask about: The stand mechanism and carry case, not just the print
Best for: Events, roadshows and trade shows

Print City focuses on express name card printing with islandwide delivery, and it sits in the useful middle ground between a fully self-serve platform and a traditional printer you have to email.

The case for it is a short brief on a standard product. Name cards are the most commoditised item in printing, the specification barely varies, and once you have decided on a stock and a lamination there is very little left to discuss. A shop that does that one thing repeatedly will rarely get it wrong.

For anything with an unusual fold, a spot finish or a die cut, go to one of the broader printers above and expect a conversation.

Focus: Express name card and business card printing
Delivery: Islandwide
Best for: A standard card job with no complications

Alibaba Printing prints flyers and also runs distribution, and that combination is more useful than it sounds. Printing 20,000 flyers is the easy half. Getting them into letterboxes across a set of estates, legally and with some accountability for coverage, is the half that usually falls apart.

Buying both from one supplier means one party is answerable for the whole campaign. When print and distribution sit with different vendors and the response is poor, you get an argument about whether the artwork or the drop was at fault, and you will not resolve it.

The range is narrower than the general printers here, so this is a specialist pick rather than a default. If your job is a letterbox campaign, that focus is the point.

Focus: Flyers and leaflets, with distribution
Useful because: One supplier is accountable for print and drop
Best for: Letterbox campaigns

Less than most people expect, and the price per card falls sharply with quantity. Gogoprint publishes economy name cards at S$6.39 for 100, S$20.03 for 500, S$39.13 for 1,000, S$96.14 for 5,000 and S$144.43 for 10,000. That is 6.4 cents a card at the smallest run and 1.4 cents at the largest.

Premium stocks, soft-touch lamination, rounded corners, spot UV and specialty papers push that up, and a genuinely luxurious card on heavy cotton stock with letterpress or foil is a different product at a different price. But for a normal double-sided card on 310g art card, the numbers above are the market.

The practical advice is to order 500 rather than 100. The absolute saving on the smaller run is about fourteen dollars, and you pay five times as much per card for the privilege. Order 5,000 only if you are confident your title, number and address will still be right in two years.

Digital printing puts toner or ink directly onto the sheet with no physical plates, so there is no setup cost. Print one sheet or fifty and the cost per sheet is broadly the same. That makes it the right choice for short runs, quick turnarounds and anything with variable data such as personalised names or numbering.

Offset printing transfers ink from plates to a rubber blanket to the sheet. Making the plates and getting the press up to colour costs money before the first usable sheet exists, but once running, offset is fast and cheap per unit and holds colour more precisely across a long run. It also opens up Pantone spot colours, which digital approximates rather than matches.

The crossover point varies by job and by press, but the shape is consistent: short runs go digital, long runs go offset, and exact brand colour goes offset. You rarely have to choose yourself, because a printer quoting a large run will already be quoting offset. It is worth understanding because it explains why 5,000 cards cost fifteen times what 100 do rather than fifty times.

Same-day is real, but it runs on a morning cutoff and it applies to a limited product list. Gogoprint quotes 11am for same-day name card delivery by 6pm. Ontimeprint takes same-day orders until 10am. ExpressPrint starts same-day production on orders placed before 3pm, which is the most generous window here.

Three things reliably break a rush job, and none of them are the printer. An artwork file without bleed that has to go back to your designer. A payment that clears after the cutoff. And an approval sitting in the inbox of someone who is in a meeting. Have the file checked, the payment ready and the approver on standby before you place the order.

For anything with finishing, folding, binding or lamination, assume next-day at the earliest regardless of what the cutoff says. Finishing happens after printing, and it is usually the step that decides the schedule.

For a standard job where you want to know the price without asking, Gogoprint. The published ladder from S$6.39 to S$144.43 is the most useful thing any printer in this market puts on a page. For a job spanning several formats, or where you want a guarantee in writing, ExpressPrint and its 3pm cutoff.

When the date genuinely cannot move, Ontimeprint, and place the order before 10am. For a new company that needs stamps, seals and a first card run, Kiasu Print, where the quote does not carry 9 percent GST. For an exhibition or a roadshow, Pullupstand, and ask about the stand mechanism rather than just the print. For plain express cards, Print City. For a letterbox campaign where somebody needs to own both halves, Alibaba Printing.

The one habit that saves the most money is boring: download the template, check bleed and CMYK, and read the proof as though someone else made it. Printing 1,000 cards costs about forty dollars. Printing them twice costs eighty, plus the week you did not have.

A closing note for the printers themselves. One company on this page publishes a full price ladder and the rest quote on enquiry, and in a category this commoditised the published price wins the job before a phone rings. Buyers comparing at 11pm order from whoever answered the question. If your website is the thing losing you those orders, that is fixable, and it happens to be my day job.
