Looking for online printer who does special sizes

I have a full color brochure that is 4 panel, 6"x6" folded piece that will fold accordion style. Are there printers online that would do something like this or would I be wasting my time searching? This definitely cannot be your normal trifold. If so, can anybody recommend one or two my way?

Thanks!
Andi

Why aren't you looking locally? Personally I have no problem with sending work outside of the country if you are dealing with someone you know, but why opt for the nameless faceless instead of trying to punch up your local economy? A z-fold is not that complex, and I'm sure you'll find that any local printer worth their salt has some decent bindery machines. And appreciate the business. I'm just sayin' is all.

When I do custom work, I like it to be someplace I can keep an eye on it. Can't help you with an Online. The only one I've used recently is Modern Postcard but they don't do custom. Someone will be along I'm sure.

eprintfast.com wil ldo custom sized quoted for you. The only thing you have to remember is that most online printers compete with pricing by gang-running their jobs to reduce the setup, plating, costs, etc. If you give me all the particulars (paper type, folded and flat size, 2 or 1 sided, quantity, and postal/zip code shipping to) I will put together a quote for you. Cant promise its the cheapest but most definitely going to try my best!

Thanks!

Well I ended up finding a printer locally. I just like to explore what's out there because you never know. I found a great postcard-only printer to use for that service and they're nowhere near me but cost way less than any local printers.

Either way, I found a printer. None of the quotes I got came in under $650 for 1000 brochures... so I guess it is what it is. (and I can babysit it on press since it's local, so that's a good thing)

Thanks guys.

I did an online printer deal with a z-fold brochure for under $200. Was there anything complicated to your brochure? I am in Florida and they are in California. They did great business cards for me so I am expecting the matching brochure to be good. I think I will get it Friday or Monday if you want to know how satisfied I was... I think it will be good.

Heck at the price you said - It sounds like a price you could almost get a kinko's. Did you get offset printing?

I think most printers will do a special size if it is comparable to the size they have listed on their website
