We needed Standees - lifesize cardboard cutouts of game characters. Not an easy task with the files we sent and thinness of designed features. We needed eight. in a week. Dan and Eric handled it - on time - After much back and forth over files and bleeds. They were beautifully done! The color is sharp and the cutouts are perfection. They also have a sweet black lab that loves head scratches. Will use them again.

We have been working with Eric and First California Press for many years and they always deliver, with service and end product that exceeds expectations. Every interaction we have is pleasant and easy. Eric is always responsive for our smaller maintenance needs (like business cards, runs of letterhead) and is most helpful with our one-off printing projects. He recently worked with us to deliver a project on a tight time-frame with beautiful results.

Eric and the entire First California Press team are a class act. We've been using them for two years. They always go above and beyond, and deliver incredible quality work on time. You may find less expensive print shops, but you get what you pay for. The consistency and attention to detail is well worth it.

I have worked with First Cal Press on several projects since January and they have been great with meeting deadlines. They have always promptly followed up when we have had rush/large orders and delivered proofs and finished projects on time! We used their services for various print collateral: folders, invites, books, inserts, brochures, etc, and we have had collateral with some complicated foils and dies, innovative papers and finishes.
