In 1966, Speed Print Instant Printing Center was opened on Douglas Avenue in Urbandale, Iowa with one employee, a single color printing press and several cases of copy paper. It was one of the first print centers that boasted "copies while you wait." During the first 5 years of operation, two additional locations opened in the Des Moines area. As business prospered, new equipment was added to meet our clients' ever-changing needs. Over time, Speed Print evolved from a storefront copy shop with basic equipment and capabilities into a cutting-edge offset printer. In 1971, all locations were consolidated under a single roof and began operation under the name of Universal Printing Services. The business was moved in 1975 to a much newer and larger location at 2828 5th Avenue where it remains today. Adjoining property was purchased in 2001 to allow for future growth as needed. We have over a half-million products imprinted with your logo and/or contact information at great prices, and we are. Distributors for many national brands.
