(Edit made one yr later: Geoff helped me with my business cards and they are so impressive! He helped me choose a cardstock with an actual sueded texture, which makes people do a double take once I hand it to them! The simple, yet elegant gold lettering was the extra touch I didn't even know was available, until Geoff took the time to show me samples in-office. If you need business cards. THIS is the place to go! )The owner, Geoff, is very patient and takes time to listen to your needs.

They offer a huge amount of printing services! From business checks and brochures to promo items with your company's/small business' logo on them, glassware and water bottles, t-shirts and food packaging boxes and stickers, presentation folders. You name it. I'm pretty sure Geoff can figure it out for you. He has been with Big City since 1998! And purchased the business earlier this year, from the owner (his business mentor) upon her retirement. I LOVE that you can visit the office to view samples of a lot of the jobs they've done, so you can get a visual idea of how something may turn out before ordering. Great communication and products!

I am a small business owner and I needed some new business forms and cards printed out so I got referred from another business owner to Big City Prints. I called and Karen answed the phone and was very helpful. She invited me down to the store to meet with her so I drove over. Karen was so nice and helpful with my requests and showed me exactly what I was looking for. My expectations are very high and super custom so we exchanged emails a few times to zero in on the product I specifically needed.

I also delt with Geoff via email and i felt very good having two different professionals from Big City Prints helping me. I went with super high quality 2sided business cards that are gold foil, thick and feel like there coated with sued. I couldn't be happier all because this business is all about making what YOU want! So whatever your budget is give Big City Prints a call. But if it's for your own business dont cheat yourself, wait the extra few days, spend a little more money and get the super high quality cards. I will tell you there well worth it. Thanks again Karen & Geoff!

You'd have to travel far and wide to find someone like Karen Bondreaux. Big City's website says Karen will go to any lengths to make her customers happy and this is TRUE. She researches deeply and provides choices with the various pro's and con's. Very responsible and responsive. Can't say more! Rave review.

BCBF normally doesn't do walk-ins but I wasn't aware of that so I just showed up with a PDF on a flash drive. Karen was on her way out for lunch but she was super helpful and 5 minutes later I walk away with my prints. Great service - thanks a bunch!

I want to make this as clear and simple as possible, Karen and team are gems. I wanted to create a very specific style of business card. Knowing almost nothing about the industry, I decided to pay Karen a visit. From the get go, she treats me as an equal, never frustrated with my lack of knowledge. After exploring what felt like thousands of options, Karen was actually able to understand what I was going for and executed.

She is so knowledgeable on paper quality and print options, it's almost impossible for me to ever go back to online services like Vista Print or Moo. I can't speak for the quality of Karen's other offerings, but if you're tired of having almost zero creative control over of your business cards, give Big City Prints a try. They're even mindful enough to push back on requests that will do harm to your overall vision, can't find that online!

In our age of convenient massive online services, it's rare to find small businesses with the owner is working directly with you. To be honest, these experiences are on the pathway to extinction, here's your chance to experience one before it's too late.

So rude. I called to have a test print done and the woman was extremely disrespectful and unhelpful. Very confrontational and unclear, I will not be seeking out any kind of business with such hostile employees.
