Penguins are the best! What a great service to have so close to WMHQ to really go the extra mile to help you with your samples and whatever you may need especially when you are a vendor that is located a thousand miles away. Penguins are always professional, courteous, FAST, thorough.and very patient with the details of every request we give them and they ALWAYS deliver. We have been using them for at least 5 years now!

What I experienced was very poor service, lack of follow up, and inexperienced staff. Would not recommend.

I have been using the Penguins for 8 years and I can't compliment them enough for their exceptional service. I wish all my vendors were like that.

I was in town for business and needed a few copies printed and my hotel's printer was on the fritz. The woman at the front desk recommended this company and I couldn't be happier with their service. Top notch to say the least! Open until midnight and their website is easy to navigate and load the file and instructions you need for your project. They also called after I set up my order online to confirm a few questions and the next morning the presentations were ready to pick up and I was in and out in less than five minutes. This was a great experience and their prices are extremely competitive when compared to other options in the area.
