I happened to find this printing company Thursday night walking back to our hotel. As a woman business owner, I wanted to support this woman minority owned small business. I contacted them the next day and spoke to Elizabeth, who was fantastic. I had ordered cards from Vistaprint but they weren’t due to arrive until 2/5. I really wanted some on hand now and saw this as a great way to get some cards made sooner, rather than later. I sent my file over and Elizabeth told me they’d be ready Saturday. She walked me through bleed and how the cards would be cut, as well as offered her professional recommendation on the type of paper to offer the best result when I inquired. The price was very reasonable for that quick turnaround. To my surprise she emailed me to say the cards were ready that afternoon but we were out and I didn’t see it. When I replied she was sweet enough to drop them off at my hotel but I didn’t see that until much later and by then she’d left for the day. I picked them up the next day and am very pleased with the end result. I’d definitely use them again!

Ive been printing the labels for botH of my small businesses for almost 3 years and have been very satisfied and completely happy with the work from Benchmark. Maria is professional and our orders are handled efficiently, perfectly, and always delivered in a timely matter every time we order. Could not recommend highly enough.

As the manager of special events at the Museum of Chinese in America, I worked closely with Maria from Benchmark to produce our annual legacy awards Gaga invitations. We were impressed by the printed invites and enjoyed our collaborative relationship. We will certainly work with them again for future events!

Excellent printer...Maria and her staff are kind, helpful, and professional. Very reasonable prices and I'm always happy with the final result. Also, they are locally-owned and woman-owned!
