This weekend marks the first Saturday of the month, which means that it’s Round Rock Market Days! From 9am to 4pm on March 5th, come down to Centennial Plaza in Round Rock, TX and shop the myriad of vendors ranging from handmade crafts & fine art to yummy food vendors. P&B Print will be there, as usual, and we’ll have some FREE goodies if you stop by and say “hi”! We recently created these fun drink koozies, so get yours before they are gone!
Do you have a baby on the way? Let us help you create the graphics for your gender reveal parties, baby announcements, and baby showers! We know how exciting and overwhelming it feels when you find out you have a new baby on the way. As parents ourselves, we can help you share the news in the way that suits your life best. We’d love to help you share your excitement with your family and friends.
Do you have a shoe box in the closet full of old photos from a time before cell phone cameras? Just because the memories have faded, doesn’t mean the photos have to. Saving those pictures from the ravages of time is more important now than ever, because your collection of physical mementos is shrinking by the day as your world becomes more digital.
Don’t worry! We can restore those photos and reproduce them so you’ll have plenty of copies to hold on to for posterity. Whether it’s a family photo from the mall or your great-grandparent’s wedding photo, we can restore color and remove dust and scratches to make it look better than the day it was taken.
After we work our magic, we can print them at any size, and on a variety of materials. Need an 8×10? We can do it. Need a wallet-sized photo? We’ve gotcha covered. How about a ten-foot-tall banner with your baby photos on it? We can do that, too.
Give us a call or come in with your old pictures, and let our designers restore them today!
Love is in the air and Valentine’s day is almost here! You could give your loved ones the standard gift of chocolate and flowers, OR you could make your very own Valentine card to say “I love you”! The personal touch of giving someone a unique card with a hand-written note inside is becoming a lost art. Remember in elementary school when you would give your classmates a Star Wars or Peanuts valentine and feel so happy when you would get one yourself? Give that feeling to someone this year by sending us a photo, drawing, or even just an idea, and we can turn it into a greeting card, calendar, or postcard that you can share with the special person in your life.
Speaking of unique valentines gifts, here are some other ideas to go with that totally special card we made…
The New Year is right around the proverbial corner, which means you’re probably in the market for a new wall or desk calendar. Avoid the holiday shopping traffic when you are ready for a fresh calendar by letting us create a custom calendar for you! Send us your favorite photos and we’ll do the rest. We can even add your special dates and holidays, like birthdays and anniversaries!
Calendars aren’t limited to the standard 12-months, either. We can add as many months as you want and the photos to match. 14, 16, 24 months…the sky’s the limit!
Ever wonder where our calendar originated? Here is a great article with a brief history and 6 other things you may not know about the Gregorian calendar.
Bigger isn’t always better, but it can be when you need to get the word out about your event or product. That’s why banners and posters are so important when you’re promoting your business. Everyone has seen those standard vinyl banners hanging up all over town, but you can try something a little different: invest in a pop-up banner! They are highly portable and reuseable, and they don’t require any special attachments or fasteners to display. No matter what type of space you’ll be in, pop-up banners can easily “pop up” to help you spread the word.
Let us help you design and create the perfect point-of-sale display or convention banner today! Call or email us for a quote!

Placing a print order can be a little similar to placing a pizza order. You need to know what type of crust you want (hand-tossed, deep dish, cheese stuffed), what kind of cheese or sauce you want, what toppings you want, and how many people you need to feed. How that information translates to printers is like this:
Paper weight
Color or Black ink
Size of what’s going to be printed
Quantity
The term “paper weight”, and number corresponding with each weight, refers to the thickness and sturdiness of the paper, not the actual weight of the sheet. Paper is also measured differently from lbs (#), to GSM, to point (pt) thickness (The point measurement is thicker than lb cover weights). There’s also text weight and cover weight, cover is another term for card stock. It’s a lot to know!
This is why paper weight is the part of the order that is normally the hardest one to answer when you’re not familiar with the options. Let’s try to make that easier…
Typical office printers run 20lb to 24lb matte “bond” or “text weight” paper.
24lb is often used for standard letterhead, flyers on a budget, and anything that doesn’t require a hefty weight.
If you’re going to be printing something double sided, it’s safer to go with a thicker paper to keep from ink bleed.
60lb text weight is an excellent choice for 2-sided printing with minimal show through.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular things we print with paper weight options:
Brochures are printed on a range of 70lb – 100lb text and cover weights. 80lb gloss text weight is the standard glossy brochure paper stock used. It’s about as thick as a light magazine cover.
Standard business cards are normally printed on 100lb cover weight. If you’re wanting something heavier, 110lb, 14pt, or 16pt are great options.
Greeting cards are printed on a variety of weights 65lb – 110lb cover weight.
Postcards are also printed on a range 80lb – 110lb, and 12pt – 16pt.
We hope this will make your next order easier to place. We are always available to talk it through with you and show you options.
