Blueprint printing for Philadelphia — next business day by UPS Ground
Order ARCH C, ARCH D, ARCH E or 30″×42″ by noon Eastern and it ships the same afternoon, arriving in Philadelphia the next business morning by standard UPS Ground — $2.00 a 24×36 sheet, no rush fee. Covers Center City, University City, the Navy Yard, the Main Line, and Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties.
Why Philadelphia firms print with us
Philadelphia work runs through L&I permit review, the Art Commission and Historical Commission where they apply, and a bid calendar set by the School District, PHA, SEPTA and the city. Every one of those still wants paper on a counter or in a bid box on a date somebody else chose.
We are one UPS Ground zone from the whole region. A set ordered by noon Eastern is at a Center City office, a Conshohocken trailer or a King of Prussia job site the next business morning — without paying a downtown counter rent in the per-sheet price.
What we print for Philadelphia projects
- L&I permit sets printed at the issued sheet size, in the copy count the reviewer wants
- Bid sets for School District, PHA, SEPTA, PennDOT and private GC bids — one order, a box to every bidder
- Construction document sets for Center City towers, University City labs and Navy Yard fit-outs
- Township submissions across Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties at 24×36 and 30×42
- Spec books and project manuals, coil bound, in the same box as the drawings

Philadelphia–specific questions
How fast can I get a plan set in Philadelphia?
Order by noon Eastern and it arrives the next business day by standard UPS Ground. No air upgrade needed.
Do you print for Philadelphia L&I submissions?
We print at the issued sheet size on 20# bond in whatever copy count the reviewer requires. L&I accepts electronic plans for most permits through eCLIPSE, with paper for specific reviews — confirm the current requirement with L&I or your expediter and we match it.
Can one order ship to the office and the job site?
Yes. Enter each address at checkout — up to 20 on one order — and each box gets its own tracking number and packing slip.
Is there a Philadelphia surcharge?
No. The per-sheet price is the same everywhere we ship, and Ground shipping is flat $15, free over $100.
