The University has a print shop? Oh yes — and it powers much of the printed material that circulates within and outside of campus. Here’s what you need to know about University Printing Services.
1. Supporting campus for more than 70 years.
From academic publications to milestone events, University Printing has been an integral partner to UA for decades. The team combines modern digital equipment with traditional press capabilities to meet the evolving needs of campus. With equipment ranging from a state-of-the-art inkjet printer to its own humidity-controlled paper warehouse, University Printing keeps pace with industry-standard commercial printers.
2. In-house production saves departments time and money.
Whatever your printing needs, University Printing is here to help. Keeping printing on campus allows departments to avoid outside vendor markups, long production timelines and brand inconsistencies. University Printing can also assist your department in choosing cost-effective formats, materials and quantities that align with University standards and budgets.
3. A broad range of printed and speciality products.
University Printing offers services that include digital and offset printing, research posters, conference materials, awards, stationery, brochures, signage, large-format banners, retractable displays, promotional items and branded giveaways. Got a non-University project in mind? University Printing can help with invitations, announcements, keepsakes and custom items. And yes: They do wedding invitations.
4. Crimson Copies provides convenient walk-up service.
Located in The University of Alabama Student Center, Crimson Copies offers quick printing for class assignments, posters, résumés and portfolios along with support for campus departments and personal printing needs. It serves as an accessible option for anyone who needs quick and affordable service.
5. Fast-turn and last-minute requests are par for the course.
Up against a tough deadline? University Printing is accustomed to that. Whether it is an overlooked event sign, a late-breaking announcement or materials needed sooner than expected, University Printing can work closely with your department to support urgent deadlines and reduce stress during peak periods.
