Bulk blueprint printing, priced across the whole order
Upload the set the way it arrives: architectural from one firm, structural from another, MEP from a third. Every printed sheet across every file and every set counts toward one volume tier, each page is priced at the rate for its size and coverage category, and you see the total before you pay.
- $3.00 per ARCH D sheet at 1–24 sheets
- $2.10 at 100–249 sheets
- $1.68 at 500 or more
- Weekday orders by 12 PM Eastern ship the same day
One rate for the whole order
The tier is set by the total sheet count, pages × sets, across every file on the order. It applies automatically at checkout; there is no code and nothing to ask for.

Every printed sheet counts toward your volume tier. Each page is priced at the rate for its size and coverage category. B&W, light color and standard color each have their own ladder, so pages on one order can carry different rates. Mylar has its own volume pricing. Full price table or estimate a set.
Files from different consultants count together
You should not have to merge four PDFs in Bluebeam to find out what printing costs. Upload them as they are.
-
Upload every file separately
One file or twenty. The quote tool counts the pages and measures the page sizes of each one, so the price reflects what is in the files.
-
Set a size per file
ARCH D for the architectural sheets, ARCH E for the civil site plan. Each file prints at its own size and still counts toward the same tier.
-
Sets multiply the count
Sets are copies of every page. A 50-sheet set in four copies is 200 sheets and earns the 100–249 rate, not four small orders at the 1–24 rate.
-
Every sheet is reviewed before printing
A print technician checks scale, orientation and completeness against your settings. If we spot an issue, we contact you before anything prints.
Who orders this way
- Permit expediters submitting sets to building departments week after week.
- General contractors distributing bid sets to subcontractors.
- Architecture firms without a plotter, printing for every submittal and presentation.
- Engineering firms issuing sealed sets across several disciplines.
- Design-build builders pulling permits in triplicate on every project.
What they have in common is the same order shape, repeatedly. Files are deleted after 7 days, so a reprint of an old set means uploading it again. For several identical copies of one set, see multi-set printing.
Bulk printing FAQs
How does bulk blueprint printing pricing work?
The rate is set by the total sheets on your order. ARCH D 24 × 36 is $3.00 a sheet at 1–24, $2.52 at 25–99, $2.10 at 100–249, $1.80 at 250–499 and $1.68 at 500 or more. The discount applies automatically at checkout.
Can I upload a plan set as separate files?
Yes. Architectural, structural, MEP and civil usually arrive as separate PDFs from separate consultants. Upload them all; every sheet counts toward one volume rate, and each file prints at its own size.
Do multiple sets count toward the volume rate?
Yes. Sheets are counted as pages × sets. A 50-sheet set ordered in four copies is 200 sheets and earns the 100–249 rate of $2.10 per ARCH D sheet.
What does a 200-sheet order cost?
$420.00 in black & white at ARCH D 24 × 36, with UPS Ground free because the print subtotal is over $29. Faster UPS services are offered at checkout.
Is there a minimum order?
No. New orders start at one set, and a single sheet is fine. UPS Ground is $13.00 on orders under $29 and free on orders of $29 or more.
Can one order have mixed sizes or mixed color?
Mixed sizes, yes: set a size per file and they still count together. On a color order, every page is scanned and priced by what it carries: light color marks at the light-color rate ($3.75 per ARCH D sheet at 1–24 sheets), fuller color at the standard rate ($7.50), pages with no visible color at the black & white rate. Every printed sheet counts toward the volume tier, and individual pages on one order can carry different rates. Mylar is a separate product with its own volume pricing.
