Stars and Stripes the newspaper.

For more than 150 years, we have been there to help serve those who serve our country.

It’s our mission and it always will be.

But did you know Stars and Stripes is here to do more than get you the vital news you need to know?

Whether you’re throwing a farewell party, want to send a personalized holiday card, or are in need of business cards for that new promotion, Stars and Stripes the Printshop is here to help.

And our recently updated website, Printshop.stripes.com, makes getting those invitations, greeting cards, yearbooks, announcements and much more, even easier.

“A large majority of the servicemembers I speak to about Stars and Stripes have no idea we’re more than just a source for their news media,” said Lt Col Rich McClintic, Stars and Stripes Pacific Commander. “Most are familiar with Stars and Stripes’ daily and community newspapers, some know about our digital apps, websites or social media pages. However, very few know that Stripes is a DoD authorized full-service printing shop ready to help them fulfill their unit, private organization, or personal print needs.”

And by full service, that means Stars Printshop can handle jobs that are big or small and ones that are easy or those that might need a little creativity.

In need of birthday invitations for your 6-year-old? We’ve got you covered. Need 10,000 flyers for your upcoming Black Friday sale? Not a problem. Our experienced printers and designers have seen just about everything. So, if you’re a little unsure about how you want something printed, or you need our team to create a design from start to finish, leave it to us.

And best of all, our brand-new website makes requesting a quote easier than it’s ever been.

“It is extremely simple,” says Kentaro Shimura, Production Manager for Stars and Stripes. “On the site, customers provide the basic details on what they need, and we can get a quote in no time.”

The user-friendly website’s interface guides you step by step - from determining your needs to obtaining a price quote. Stars and Stripes accepts official DOD print orders, as well as personal print orders from any U.S. Government ID cardholder in the Pacific theater.

With employees who speak English, Japanese and Korean, talented designers and cutting-edge printing technology enables Stripes’ Printshop to handle virtually any printed job needed by a customer. So, the next time you’re looking to have something printed, go to printshop.stripes.com!
