New York City area Union Printer?

May 5, 2010 6:48 AM

The New York City-based non-profit I work for is looking for a new print shop for business cards, letterhead, and other normal print collateral. We'd prefer a local union printer. Any recommendations?

Stickers, buttons, and t-shirts would be a lovely addition, but we can go elsewhere for those.

I don't know about New York, but when I was looking for a recommended union printer in
Toronto, I emailed the president of the local printing union (CEP Local 1-G, formerly GCIU). He emailed me back to tell me what shop the local union used for all their printing.

Also, this directory is a good place to start.

Response by poster: I should've mentioned: we know about the directory, but are looking for recommendations based on personal experiences.

Honestly don't know about union-ness but have had good results with Carol Printing, http://carolprint.com/ near Penn Station.

Also near there, but almost certainly non-union, Bernie's does quick-turnaround digital jobs consistently faster and cheaper than expected. I think it's Bernie and two other grumpy old dudes in a tiny room full of equipment, and none of them ever sleep. But, Bernie saved my past-deadline ass a few times at the non-profit I used to work for, so I like to recommend them: Bernies Copy Center‎, 242 West 30th Street [phone]‎
