real customer reviews

I’ve used them for A LOT of color flyers (when I say A LOT, I mean A LOT). This is one of the two places I use in San Diego. Their pricing and turn time is great. Kinko’s on the other hand is way too expensive. 5th Avenue is a much much better alternative in my opinion. Local business FTW!

Manny & his team are always, always knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with, helpful, speedy and oh yeah, they put out a great product. I worked in the personalized stationery industry for 9 years, so I promise, I know. On the very rare instance in 9 years when they made 1 single mistake, it was fixed INstantly and I still got wonderful product, right away (discounted to boot)!

Tracy S. on YELP

The service here is great! Manny was very knowledgeable and was able to have my printing needs turned around in 24 hours. I will come back for all my printing needs.

Maria A. on YELP

Manny and his team are awesome! I used Printing on 5th over the past year for all things wedding. I had my Save The Dates, Invitations, Envelopes, Programs, and Name Cards all printed here and they turned out perfectly. What I loved is that you can email them a PDF and then stop by to see a proof within a few hours. In my case I usually saw something I wanted to change (or two) and they would always run as many proofs as I needed until its was perfect. The service was friendly and fast and their product is crisp and clean. I love this place!

Had to order some Same Day Business Cards and Postcards for a Trade Show last weekend since Vista F#cking Print screwed up my order! Nancy and Manny did a great job on getting my Company great cards at a fair price. I was really impressed by the selection of paper and thier machines in the Lobby so the customer can see what they are actually printing. Manny has a nice shop and I actually opened this account to post my rave review of his Printshop. Customer Service is alive and well. Beware of ordering cheap cards online! This place does a great job.

In a word…OUTSTANDING! I’ve been working with Manny and Nancy at printing on 5th for over a year and they never disappoint. I was in a real time crunch to get menus and table tents printed for the Padres opening day and Nancy came through like a champ! if you are looking for great customer service and quality of work – look no further, I highly recommend Printing on 5th.

I generally don’t write reviews on companies I deal with but I’d like to make an exception. I’m exhibiting at the San DIego convention center and I had a very last minute print job that needed to be delivered as soon as the weekend was over. I spoke with Manny from Printing on 5th Avenue and he promised it would be delivered to my hotel at 7AM Monday morning. I didn’t believe it would be a high quality job or that it would really be delivered on time. I was very mistaken! The print job was high quality and it was delivered on time as promised! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I have been using Printing on 5th for several years, and they have always provided excellent and timely service. I have probably dealt with every single employee at some point, and they have always been helpful and friendly. I recently had a rush order for several cases of specially printed envelopes. I was given a quote for cost and completion date, and it was ready early! They have helped me with numerous things, including my company’s envelopes, business cards, color copies, binding jobs, etc. And I always prefer to support a local business!

Linda T on Yelp

Love these folks! We have menus and other flyer cards printed here for our business (Sloppy’s Burritos) and the quality is second to none. They are fast, responsive, and work with us on any custom requests we have, no matter how last minute or random they may be. Good luck getting that from an online printing service! As an added bonus, they are fun and cool people in general 🙂 Definitely recommend them.
