Step-by-Step Guide
How to print blueprints online — 5 steps, under 5 minutes
Online blueprint printing through Azul Prints works entirely from your browser — no account, no store visit, no phone call. Here's exactly how it works from PDF to your door.
1
Export your drawings to PDF
PDF is the only accepted format for online blueprint printing because it preserves exact scale, line weights, and page dimensions — regardless of your CAD software. Export from AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, or any design tool. Set the page size to match your target sheet (e.g., 24×36 inches for ARCH D). Need help? See the file preparation guide.
2
Upload your PDF — no account needed
Go to azulprints.com/quote and upload your PDF. No account, no login, no subscription. Multi-page plan sets upload as a single file — the system reads each page automatically.
3
Select size, quantity, material, and shipping
Choose your print size (ARCH D 24×36 is the standard for most permit sets), black-and-white or color, how many pages per set, and how many sets. Select your UPS shipping speed — Ground, 2-Day, or Next Day Air. Your total appears instantly before you pay.
4
A technician reviews your file before anything prints
This is the step FedEx Office and Staples skip. Every file submitted to Azul Prints is reviewed by a real print technician — scale verified, orientation confirmed, resolution checked. If something's off, you're contacted before a sheet runs. Wrong-scale prints get rejected at the building department counter. We catch them before they leave our facility.
5
Your blueprints ship the same day
Orders placed before 12 PM EST Monday–Friday ship the same business day via UPS. Plans roll into a rigid tube — no folding, no damage in transit. UPS tracking sent by email. Nationwide delivery: East Coast in 1–2 days, anywhere in the US with Next Day Air by tomorrow morning.
✅
Total time from upload to confirmed order: under 5 minutes. Most contractors complete their first order faster than the drive to FedEx Office.

Azul Prints vs. FedEx Office & Staples
Same-day blueprint printing is available at FedEx Office and Staples — but neither checks your file before printing. A wrong-scale set ships as-is. You find out when the permit gets rejected. Azul Prints costs 40–50% less and catches the errors that cause rejections. Here's the full comparison.
| Azul Prints | FedEx Office | Staples | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24×36 B&W price | $3.00 | ~$4–6 | ~$2.25–4 |
| Order online | ✓ Yes | Limited | Limited |
| Ships nationwide | ✓ anywhere in the US | In-store pickup | In-store pickup |
| Same-day shipping | ✓ Before 12 PM EST | ✗ Pickup only | ✗ Pickup only |
| File review | ✓ Every order | ✗ Self-service | ✗ Self-service |
| Free shipping threshold | $29+ | N/A (in-store) | N/A (in-store) |
| Minimum order | None | Varies | Varies |
The key difference: FedEx Office and Staples require an in-person trip to a specific location. Azul Prints ships directly to your job site, office, or home — anywhere in the country — for the same or lower price per sheet.

🛠️
Your file is reviewed before a single sheet prints
FedEx and Staples print what you give them — wrong scale, portrait instead of landscape, no warning. At Azul, a real technician checks your file first. If something's off, we catch it before it costs you a reprint. See the 7 most common blueprint printing mistakes that get caught at this stage.
🚚
Ships directly to your job site — anywhere in the US
No pickup. No driving. Upload from your truck or your office, and UPS delivers to the job site address. East Coast in 1–2 days. Nationwide overnight available.
💰
40–50% less than FedEx Office or Staples
The same 24×36 sheet that costs $4.99–$6.99 at FedEx costs $3.00 here. On a 10-set permit job, that's a $200+ difference — with better quality control and door-to-door delivery included.

FAQ
Common questions about printing blueprints online
Go to azulprints.com/quote, upload your PDF, select your size and number of sets, choose a shipping speed, and complete checkout. For same-day shipping, place your order before 12 PM EST Monday through Friday. No account is required.
PDF is the only accepted format — it preserves scale, line weights, and page dimensions exactly as designed. If your drawings are in AutoCAD DWG or another CAD format, export to PDF before uploading. Set your export page size to match your target ARCH or ANSI sheet size (e.g., 24×36 for ARCH D).
Orders placed before 12 PM EST Monday through Friday ship the same day. With UPS Next Day Air, that means delivery as soon as the next business day. UPS 2-Day and Ground options are also available at checkout.
In most cases, yes. Azul Prints charges $3.00 for a 24×36 B&W blueprint — FedEx Office charges $4.99–$6.99 for the same sheet. Azul Prints also ships directly to your location, which eliminates the trip to a store and makes it more convenient for contractors ordering for job sites outside their immediate area.
Yes. Upload a multi-page PDF and your entire plan set will be printed as a set and shipped together in a single tube. Pricing is calculated per sheet, so a 30-page plan set at 24×36 would be 30 × $3.00 = $90 for one copy.
No account is required. You can upload, get a price, and check out as a guest. Your order confirmation and tracking are sent via email.
Azul Prints is the fastest online option for nationwide blueprint delivery. Upload your PDF before 12 PM EST and your prints ship the same day via UPS to any US address. Select UPS Next Day Air at checkout for next-morning delivery — no local print shop required. 24×36 plans from $3/sheet, with free UPS Ground on orders $29 and over.
Yes. Permit sets are one of the most common orders at Azul Prints. Upload your PDF, select ARCH D large-format prints (the standard permit size for most building departments), specify how many sets you need, and choose your UPS delivery speed. A print technician verifies scale before printing — so your permit prints arrive dimensionally correct.
Azul Prints saves contractors 40–50% vs. local shops — that's $1.99–$3.99 less per sheet on every order. An ARCH D (24×36) is $3.00 at Azul Prints vs. $4.99–$6.99 at FedEx Office. Beyond price: Azul Prints ships nationwide same-day, a technician reviews every file before printing, and there are no minimums or account requirements. FedEx and Staples require in-store pickup and don't offer the same delivery speed to job sites outside major cities.
There's no reason to drive to FedEx.
Upload your file — a technician checks it before anything prints, it ships the same day, and UPS delivers to your job site. D-size plans from $3/sheet. No account. No trip. No guessing whether the scale is right.
