University Printing
K-State's University Printing is your communication and branding partner, offering design, print, signs, decals, marketing mail, promotional products, shipping services and more. Whether you're preparing research posters, sending recruitment materials, or need attention-grabbing promotional items, University Printing has you covered.
Services
University Printing is dedicated to providing faculty, staff, students, and campus partners with high-quality, efficient marketing and communications solutions. With a wide range of offerings, no print job is too big or too small.
Estimates
The estimate form helps clients plan printing specifications and provides budgeting information. Printing costs depend on quantity needed, materials, labor and equipment required for the finished product.
Estimates usually are provided within two work days, but call for a personal response. A customer service representative is available during work hours to discuss job specifications, make suggestions to improve the product design, determine a delivery date, and suggest ways to reduce costs.
Graphic Design and Project Planning
University Printing offers complete graphic design and project consultation. Our experienced staff can provide new ideas or help fine-tune your draft into a visually appealing product—large or small—that can reach your target audience on a budget.
Unless print-ready artwork is provided by the customer, which is always an option, our creative design staff will provide proofs for client verification and approval before production begins. Digital proofing, by email, helps streamline the proofing process, but hard copy proofs are available in some instances.
If you have an idea or a communication goal but aren't quite sure where to begin, call University Printing at 785-532-6308. Our experienced team of professionals can make suggestions and share best practices.

A Full Range of Sign Services and Decals
Whether you need a simple mounted poster for a class project, an event banner, or attention-grabbing booth signs for an upcoming conference, you've found your source for signs. University Printing also offers cut vinyl lettering and dimensional letters/signs for attractive wall and window art.
Large scale posters (60-inch maximum width) for research presentations, class projects or outdoor banners with UV inks are made to order. We print on a variety of materials, including cloth, vinyl, foam boards, tac board, and a wide assortment of paper in varying thicknesses, textures, and finishes. Posters can be laminated, mounted on foam core backing and/or grommeted. X-Frame banner stands are available for purchase and are a great way to display your poster at events. The stands are light-weight, collapsible, and easy to store.
Need creative ideas that will stick? Look no further! University Printing can meet your labels, decal, sticker, and adhesive vinyl needs.
When ordering labels, be sure to consider:
- What surface will the label be applied to?
- Will it be indoor or outdoor?
- Does it need to be removable or permanent?
- How long should the label last?
- What size? Shape? Quantity?
- Do you need them on a roll or on sheets?
- Will it need a lamination, gloss coating, or UV protection?
- What's your budget?
