Printing in Elephant & Castle

Printing for Elephant & Castle customers

Star Printers is a local print shop in Elephant & Castle, run from our Tooting High Street premises — same-day printing, photocopying and free design help without the wait of an online-only service.

Elephant & Castle has changed significantly with major redevelopment in recent years, bringing new offices, shops, homes and public spaces into what is now a well-connected part of central-south London. It is also home to the London College of Communication, part of the University of the Arts London, which brings a strong design and print culture to the area.

Printing for Elephant & Castle businesses

For students and creatives, we print portfolios, exhibition posters, flyers and coursework binding. For businesses, we supply stationery, flyers, posters and event materials for the offices, shops and organisations that have moved into the redeveloped area.

For personal orders, we handle photo prints, invitations and one-off event print.

Free design help in Elephant & Castle

If you don't have finished artwork, that's not a problem — we offer free design help to get your project print-ready, whether it's a business card or an exhibition poster.

With so much design and print knowledge already in the area through the London College of Communication, we see a lot of customers who know exactly what they want, alongside just as many who would rather talk it through first.

Print-ready artwork at the right size, bleed and resolution is the fastest route to production, but our free design service is there if your file isn't finished yet, whatever stage it's at.

Ordering, collection and delivery for Elephant & Castle

Contact us with your artwork, quantity and deadline and we can discuss collection from our Tooting shop or delivery to Elephant & Castle, whichever suits your timeline better.

T-Shirt Printing in Elephant & Castle

T-shirt printing is one of our most requested services from Elephant & Castle customers — DTF printing for single shirts, personalised gifts, sports kits and bulk branded orders, all produced at our Tooting shop. See our t-shirt printing page for garment types, sizes and to place an order.

Same-day and next-day printing for Elephant & Castle

If you need something printed today rather than after a multi-day wait, that's exactly the kind of order Elephant & Castle customers bring to us. For straightforward jobs — business cards, flyers, a poster or a small batch of stickers — same-day or next-day turnaround is usually possible, and busier or more detailed jobs are still handled quickly once we know the quantity, finishing and artwork involved. Where a job genuinely needs longer, because of a specific finish, a large quantity or a complex file, we'll say so clearly when you order rather than promise a turnaround we can't deliver. Being a walk-in shop also means you can check a physical proof in person before the full run is printed, which catches a sizing, colour or spelling issue before it's too late to fix — something that isn't possible when the entire order is placed and produced somewhere you'll never see it. For Elephant & Castle customers working around a meeting, an event or a delivery slot, that combination of speed and being able to check the work in person is often the main reason to choose a local print shop over waiting on the post.

Opening hours and visiting from Elephant & Castle

Star Printers is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 10pm, Saturday from 9am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 8pm, which gives Elephant & Castle customers more flexibility than a typical nine-to-five print shop, including evening and weekend opening when many local printers are closed. If you're travelling from Elephant & Castle outside these hours, or want to confirm a job is finished before setting off, a quick call ahead saves a wasted trip. For a larger or more detailed order, calling or emailing in advance also lets us confirm a realistic turnaround before you commit to a specific collection or delivery time. Whether you'd rather collect in person or have your order delivered, telling us your preference upfront means it can be ready exactly when you need it, rather than sorted out after the job is already printed. Same-day collection is usually possible if you can drop by our Tooting shop directly, and delivery can be arranged for Elephant & Castle customers who would rather not make the trip. Either way, it's worth mentioning your deadline when you order so we can plan the job around it rather than around our general queue.

Photocopying in Elephant & Castle

As well as printing, we offer walk-in photocopying and scanning at our Tooting shop — no minimum order, single copies are welcome, and most jobs are ready while you wait. See our photocopying and scanning page for sizes and pricing.

For a tight deadline, call us with the product, quantity and artwork before travelling or arranging delivery. We will confirm the production options that are available for your order.
