24×36 blueprint printing — $2.00 per sheet
We print 24″ × 36″ (ARCH D) construction plans and ship them the same day when you order before 12:00 PM Eastern on a business day. Black-and-white on 20# bond is $2.00 per sheet; color line work is $4.75 per sheet and heavy-coverage color (renderings, colored elevations, filled site plans — ink on 12%+ of the sheet, or any rendering or photo about 3 × 3 in or larger) is $8.95 per sheet, detected page by page after upload. B&W heavy coverage is $3.95 per sheet for grey-scale ink on 15%+ of the sheet — a rendering, photo or shaded presentation board; line-work plan, detail and notes sheets stay at $2.00. UPS Ground is $15 flat and free over $100, and 10% comes off automatically at 25+ sheets of the same size. No account, no minimum order, and no setup, file or rush fees.
ARCH D is the standard plan-set sheet — the size most architects lay drawings out for and the size permit desks expect for commercial work. If someone hands you a set of construction documents, this is almost certainly what it is.

When to use 24×36
- Full construction document sets (CDs)
- Commercial permit submissions
- Job-site and superintendent copies
- Bid sets going out to multiple subcontractors
Printed at 1:1, so a ¼″ = 1′-0″ drawing stays at ¼″ = 1′-0″ and scales correctly with a rule.
Need field copies too? ARCH B (12″ × 18″) is the exact half-size of ARCH D — order both on the same invoice.
When would it arrive?
Questions
How much does it cost to print 24x36 blueprints?
$2.00 per plan sheet in black-and-white on 20# bond ($3.95 for a B&W rendering or photo covering a large part of the sheet), $4.75 in color on line work and $8.95 for color renderings. A 25-sheet set or larger gets 10% off automatically. UPS Ground is $15 flat and free over $100, so most plan sets ship free.
Can I get 24x36 plans printed and delivered tomorrow?
Yes, anywhere from New York to Washington DC and Northern Virginia. Order before 12:00 PM Eastern on a business day and your set is printed and handed to UPS the same day, arriving the next business day anywhere from New York to Washington DC and Northern Virginia — New York City and Long Island, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Baltimore, Washington DC, Arlington, Fairfax and Reston. Everywhere else, UPS Next Day Air is available at checkout.
What is ARCH D?
ARCH D is the architectural sheet size measuring 24 inches by 36 inches. It is the most common size for construction drawings in the United States. It is not the same as ANSI D (22″ × 34″), which is the engineering-series sheet of a similar size — we print to true ARCH D unless you ask otherwise.
