Prices, turnaround, file formats, delivery across Dubai and the copy centre — straight answers from Block J, Karama.

Ordering & prices

How do I get a price?

Send the file, the finished size, the quantity and your deadline on WhatsApp (+971 56 621 4453) — or use the order builder on the home page, which writes the message for you. You get a price and a realistic date before anything goes on a machine.

How much do business cards cost in Dubai?

Business cards at Dasma start from AED 29 for a standard specification. The final price depends on quantity, stock (300–600gsm) and finish — matt, gloss, velvet, spot UV or foil — and is confirmed in your quote.

Is there a minimum order?

Not at the copy centre — one page is fine. Printed products are quoted per run, and small runs are welcome: a 100-card top-up is as normal as a 5,000-card company order.

Do your prices include VAT?

Every quote states clearly whether VAT is included. Prices on this website, such as “from AED 29”, are starting prices for standard specifications.

How long is a quote valid?

14 days, unless the quote says otherwise. Changes to size, quantity, stock, finish or artwork after a quote may change the price.

Can I reorder without sending the file again?

Yes. Job files stay on record, so “same cards, 500 more” is a complete instruction. Ask any time and we delete them.

Turnaround & hours

How fast can you print?

Plain digital work is often same-day. Lamination, spot UV, foil and large-format add time. Tell us the deadline when you send the file and we confirm the date before you commit.

Can I get business cards the same day?

Plain digital cards are usually same-day. Cards with lamination, spot UV or foil take 24–48 hours. Offset runs are quoted on volume.

Are you open 24 hours?

The counter at Karama Shopping Complex is open 9 AM to 10 PM, every day. Ordering runs 24/7 — send files any hour and anything that lands overnight is first in the queue at 9.

Can you make an exhibition or event deadline?

Tell us the date up front. Roll-ups, backdrops and signage are printed and fabricated in-house at Block J, so we can give you an honest answer before you commit.

Files & artwork

Which file formats do you accept?

PDF is best. AI, PSD and a clear, high-resolution JPG also work. Send by WhatsApp, email or bring it on USB. Bleed and cut lines are checked free.

I don’t have a design. Can you make one?

Yes. The design desk sets cards, banners, labels and full stationery sets, then prints them here — nothing gets lost between two suppliers. Tell us what the business does and what the piece is for.

Will you check my artwork before printing?

We check bleed, resolution and cut lines and tell you if something is not print-ready. You then approve a proof — please check spelling, numbers and contact details, because the approved proof is what gets printed.

Do you keep my files?

Yes, so reorders take one message. Ask us and we delete them — see the privacy policy.

Delivery & collection

Where exactly is the shop?

Unit 116, Block J, inside Karama Shopping Complex, 37 Al Karama Street, Al Karama, Dubai. Walk in any day between 9 AM and 10 PM.

Do you deliver across Dubai?

Yes — from Bur Dubai, Oud Metha and Deira to Business Bay, Downtown, DIFC, JLT, Dubai Marina and beyond. Tell us the area when you order and the delivery charge is confirmed with your quote.

Can I collect from the shop?

Yes. Collect from Block J, Karama Shopping Complex, any day from 9 AM to 10 PM. We message you when the job is ready.

Copy centre

Can I print straight from my phone?

Yes. WhatsApp or email the document and collect it printed, or bring a USB. Duplex, collated and stapled sets are no problem.

Do you do passport, Emirates ID and visa copies?

Yes — copies, scans and document sets for submissions over the counter, plus passport photographs.

Can you bind a thesis or report?

Spiral, comb and thermal binding while you wait, and hard-cover thesis binding. A4 and A3 lamination too.

Can you print A0 plans and CAD drawings?

Yes. CAD and site plans print up to A0, straight from USB, email or WhatsApp.

Print & signage

What sizes are roll-up banners?

80 × 200 cm and 85 × 200 cm are standard, supplied with the stand and carry bag. X-banners, pop-up walls and backdrops are also available.

Do you install signage and vehicle graphics?

Yes. Fabrication and installation are in-house and cover all of Dubai — shop fascias, acrylic letters, window film, and full or partial vehicle wraps. Site measurement on request.

Can stickers be cut to any shape?

Yes — die-cut to any outline, as singles or kiss-cut sheets, in clear, white, matt, gloss, holographic and metallic vinyl.

Are product labels waterproof?

We stock waterproof and oil-resistant label materials for bottles, jars, food and cosmetics, on sheets or rolls.

How do custom t-shirt orders work?

DTF suits small runs and full-colour artwork; screen printing suits volume; embroidery suits polos and caps. Every run is sampled first so nobody signs off on a guess.

Do you print numbered NCR invoice books?

Yes — duplicate and triplicate carbonless sets with sequential numbering, perforated and glued or stapled, for invoices, delivery notes and receipts.

Design & web

Do you build websites and run ads?

That is our design wing, Dasma Design Lab, at dasmadesign.com. Anything it designs can be printed at this counter.
