Platform Details
Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Order
Hubs, Categories, and Collections Explained. The catalog is organized at three levels. Hubs are the 9 broad product groups, think of them as departments in a store. Each hub contains categories (the 114 specific product types). Collections are the 173 curated groups that cut across categories by theme or use case, like a "Trade Show Bundle" or "New Business Starter Pack." Every product belongs to at least one hub and one category.
The IPC Is Your Quote Tool. 4OVER4 built the Instant Price Calculator to eliminate the request-quote-wait-for-callback cycle that plagues most commercial printers. Every product page has a fully interactive configurator. Pick your specs and quantity, business cards from 100 to 100,000+, postcards, brochures, stickers, banners, and the price is shown immediately. Volume discounts are applied automatically at each quantity tier.
Design Options for Every Workflow. Customers who need to create artwork can use the Canvas Designer, a browser-based design tool with 10,000+ ready-to-edit templates. Every template is pre-sized for the product with correct bleed. Customers working in Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop can download free blank templates with proper crop marks, then upload a print-ready PDF at checkout.

Our Story
Partner With Innovators
They told us we were crazy. We don't want to be sane.
The Beginning
In 1999, Google was barely starting out. WiFi didn't exist. People were afraid of Y2K. And two best friends, second-generation immigrants and patent-holding engineers in Queens, New York, launched 4OVER4.COM as the second web-based printer in the entire United States.
The Innovation
4OVER4 was the first printer to introduce full-color printing with 24 to 48 hour turnaround. When the industry said it couldn't be done that fast, they did it anyway. No compromises, no excuses, just engineering.
27 Years and Counting
Over 350 products. More than 6,000 possible combinations. 150,000+ businesses served, from solo freelancers to Google and the United Nations. A facility in Queens that still runs on vegetable inks and waterless presses — built that way from day one because it was the right thing to do.
"We switched to 4OVER4 three years ago and the IPC alone changed how we manage client budgets. I can price out any quantity in seconds without calling anyone. The proof process catches file issues before they become expensive problems. And the on-time rate is real, we've placed hundreds of orders and can count the late ones on one hand."
