Need to print a few pages, a resume or a stack of flyers, and The UPS Store is the closest place? You probably want to know what it will cost before you walk in.
But there is no single UPS price. In this guide I will show you what four real UPS Store locations charge per page, what extras like binding and laminating cost, and how to pay less.
How Much Does It Cost to Print at UPS?
The UPS Store says its stores are independently owned and run by franchisees, so each one sets its own prices. Here is what four locations listed on their own pages on October 3, 2026, for a letter-size page:
So a black and white page costs about 10 to 29 cents, and a color page about 40 to 59 cents. The same page can cost almost three times as much at one store as at another.
Bigger Paper Costs More
Tabloid size, 11 by 17 inches, usually costs about double:
Printing More Copies Costs Less per Page
Most stores give a lower price for bigger jobs. Mechanicsburg, for example, charges 14 cents a page for up to 99 black and white copies, and 8 cents a page for 1,000 or more.
Color drops too: from 53 cents for up to 49 color copies to 43 cents for 500 or more. In Fayetteville, color goes from 40 cents to 25 cents a page at 500 copies.
What Extras Cost
- Binding. Fayetteville charges $2.50 to $5.50 for comb binding, depending on the thickness.
- Laminating. $2 for a letter page and $3.50 for 11 by 17 in Fayetteville.
- Scanning. $1 a page in Fayetteville, plus $1 to email the scans.
- Printing from your phone or a USB. Albuquerque has a $2 minimum to use its computers, plus the prints.
- Card stock. Reno and Mechanicsburg both list it at 25 cents a sheet.
- Shredding. Fayetteville shreds documents for $1 a pound.
Self-Service or Full Service?
Some stores let you make the copies yourself, which is cheaper. In Albuquerque, a black and white page is 10 cents if you do it and 13 cents if they do it for you.
If you only have a few pages, do it yourself. For a big job with binding, let the staff handle it so it comes out right the first time.
How to Pay Less for Printing at UPS
- Call two UPS Stores near you, because prices really do differ.
- Print in black and white unless you need color.
- Combine your jobs to reach a volume discount.
- Ask about prepaid copy cards. Reno sells 100 black and white copies for $15.
