Why Boston firms print with us
Boston work goes through ISD permits, the BPDA, Cambridge and Somerville inspectional services, and a bid calendar set by the MBTA, MassDOT, DCAMM and the universities and hospitals. Lab and life-science fit-outs along Route 128 and in Kendall Square still want full-size sets on the floor.
Eastern Massachusetts is a two-day UPS Ground trip from Cape May County. For a next-morning deadline choose UPS Next Day Air at checkout — the real UPS rate for your ZIP, no markup. Either way the per-sheet price is the same as everywhere else we ship.
