Pros and cons
Onlineprinters
Pros
- Business card production runs 3 working days, which is a short window for repeat stationery orders.
- Prices start at €14.55, giving a reader a figure to set against another supplier's quote.
- Business cards, banners and signage can all be reordered from a single account rather than across separate suppliers.
Cons
- Prices sit on individual product pages, so €14.55 is an entry point rather than a guide to what a larger run costs.
- The 3 working day figure is published for business cards, so it says little about lead times for displays, stickers or packaging.
- Promotional items carry a 250 unit minimum, which is more than a small office needs for a short giveaway run.
PrintPlace
Pros
- Business cards start at 25 units, so a small run goes out without a bulk commitment.
- Production runs 2 to 10 days, and same day or next day printing can be picked when a date is fixed.
- The standard art check is free, so artwork is read over before a job reaches the press.
Cons
- Invoicing terms come on a limited basis, and minimum spending is set by the accounts team before they are confirmed.
- Notepads are listed from $450.50, so a single pad carries a sizeable ticket.
- Delivery options are quoted for the United States and Canada only, so buyers elsewhere should check before planning around a date.
Who each suits
Onlineprinters
Who it suits
- Small business owners and office managers who reprint stationery for a team and need production inside a short window.
- Marketing staff preparing trade show or shop window work who want banners and signage ordered alongside their stationery.
- European buyers who pick their market in the country selector before the catalogue opens.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need a published lead time for banners, stickers or packaging, since the 3 working day figure is a business card number.
- Anyone ordering fewer units than the 250 unit minimum shown on promotional items.
- Readers who need a supplier based outside the European markets on offer, with the imprint placing the company in Germany.
PrintPlace
Who it suits
- Small teams in the US and Canada who need business cards from 25 units and a check on artwork first
- Marketing staff running a trade show who want promo goods produced on 2 to 10 days
- Offices that put their own logos and graphics onto custom boxes and personalized notebooks
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need invoicing terms settled on the spot, since they come on a limited basis after a call with the accounts team
- Projects outside the US and Canada, where quoted delivery options stop

Questions about each
Onlineprinters
How long does production take?+
The business card listing states a production time of 3 working days. That is the figure to plan around when a meeting or a mailing date is already fixed, and it covers production rather than delivery, so transit time on top of it depends on the destination.
Is there a minimum order?+
Promotional items show a minimum order of 250 units, which suits giveaway runs for an event or a trade show. Other products are sold at the quantity chosen on the product page, so order size is set per item rather than across the whole catalogue.
PrintPlace
What does it cost to order from PrintPlace?+
Pricing is set per product and per run rather than by membership. Notepads appear from $450.50, and the business card range begins at 25 units with higher quantities listed as options. Treat each product page as the working figure, then ask the accounts team about terms when an order repeats.
Is there a minimum order quantity?+
Business cards start at 25 units, which is the smallest entry the store spells out. Promo goods are configured on their own product pages, so the same small run may not fit a giveaway order. Check the quantity fields on the item you want before building a basket.
