What San Francisco Clients Say

★★★★★

Sand Hill Road investors see a lot of decks. Ours needed to look different from the moment they touched it. Rapid Color’s foil-stamped folders and soft-touch business cards created that first impression before a word was spoken.

CEO Fintech Startup, SoMa
★★★★★

San Francisco real estate is ferociously competitive and EDDM farming is still one of the best ways to generate listings. Rapid Color produces cards that feel expensive because they are — that quality shows in my response rates.

Realtor Real Estate Team, Pacific Heights
★★★★★

We’ve gone through several printers in the Bay Area over the years. Nobody comes close to Rapid Color on color accuracy, turnaround time, or quality consistency. For a brand that cares about how it shows up, they’re the only call to make.
