Best overall: Printfast - it runs a dedicated 1-hour and same-day range covering business cards, flyers, posters, brochures, labels and banners, with free local pickup in Toronto. Best for a single walk-in job: Staples or The UPS Store. Best for premium stock in a hurry: Jukebox Print, if next-day is acceptable. If you need real same-day capacity across more than one product, Printfast is the only option here that treats rush as a product line rather than an exception.

Turnaround options verified on printfast.ca, September 2026. Same-day availability depends on quantity, product and the time you order - confirm cut-off before you rely on it.

1. Printfast - best overall for same-day

Printfast has printed in Toronto for 45 years and treats rush as a standing product range rather than a favour. Its 1-hour line includes business cards, flyers, posters, brochures, labels and stickers and roll-up banners, with a broader 24-hour range behind it.

  • Pros: genuine 1-hour and same-day options across many products; free local pickup; business cards from $6.93 for 25; one supplier for a multi-item rush.
  • Cons: same-day realistically means the Toronto area, and large quantities still need production time; the website feels dated.
  • Best for: anyone who needs more than one item printed today.

2. Staples Canada - best for a single walk-in job

Staples has counters across Toronto and can turn around basic documents and cards the same day. It is the convenient option when you need one thing and happen to be nearby.

  • Pros: many locations; no account needed; genuinely quick on simple jobs.
  • Cons: per-unit cost climbs fast; limited stock and finish choice; not built for volume.
  • Best for: a small, simple job you can collect in person.

3. The UPS Store - best for last-minute documents

A franchise network with wide Toronto coverage, useful for urgent document printing. Because each store is independently run, capability and price differ between locations.

  • Pros: convenient locations; same-day on simple work.
  • Cons: inconsistent pricing and options; limited materials.
  • Best for: an urgent document run near your office.

4. Jukebox Print - best premium option if next-day works

Jukebox specialises in premium stocks and finishes from its Toronto location. Standard turnaround is a few business days with next-day possible on approved proofs, so it fits "tomorrow" better than "today."

  • Pros: excellent finish quality; local pickup.
  • Cons: not a same-day service; higher cost.
  • Best for: premium cards where you can wait one more day.

How to actually get it same day

  • Order early in the day. Same-day is governed by a cut-off time, not by goodwill. Ordering at 4pm rarely qualifies.
  • Send print-ready artwork. A file that needs fixing loses the hours you were trying to save.
  • Choose a stock size. Custom sizes and unusual finishes add production steps.
  • Pick it up. Courier scheduling is the part most likely to break a same-day promise.
  • Confirm quantity. A hundred cards and five thousand flyers are different jobs on the same press.

Frequently asked questions

Who does same-day printing in Toronto?

Printfast runs a dedicated 1-hour and same-day range across cards, flyers, posters, brochures, labels and banners with free local pickup. Staples and The UPS Store handle smaller walk-in jobs the same day at a higher per-unit cost.

Can I get business cards printed same day in Toronto?

Yes. Printfast lists 1-hour business cards, with cards starting from $6.93 for 25. Order early in the day and send print-ready artwork.

Is same-day printing more expensive?

Rush work usually carries a premium because it displaces scheduled jobs. The bigger cost risk is a reprint - a rushed file with an error costs far more than the rush fee.

What is the fastest printing available in Toronto?

One hour, on selected products. Printfast's 1-hour range covers the most commonly needed items; anything custom or high-volume moves into the 24-hour or standard queue.
