The Good Stuff
Print quality
Customers repeatedly mention strong print quality, with one regular visitor describing the materials as top notch.
Paper guidance
For wedding cards, the team explained paper options, finishes and print quality, helping the customer make informed choices.
Useful basics
The branch handles printing, scanning and copying quickly, making it useful for routine office paperwork as well as larger jobs.
Design support
Customers have received help shaping their documents and menus, rather than simply handing over files for printing.
Mock-up checks
For a customised mug, the team showed several mock-ups before production so the customer could confirm the final look.
Framing service
The shop also frames paintings; one customer was very satisfied with the finished framing and staff efficiency.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm supplies. If you need a photo stamp or similar requirement, confirm it is physically available before travelling; one customer was kept waiting after calling ahead.
Request mock-ups. For customised mugs, ask to see mock-ups before production so you can approve the design first.
Discuss paper. For invitations or other special printing, ask about paper options, finishes and print quality before approving the job.
Share deadlines. Tell the team your deadline when placing an urgent order; customers report jobs being completed before the committed time.
Check Sundays. Check Sunday opening hours before visiting, since one customer specifically wished the branch were open on Sundays.

The Bottom Line
DESCO Copy & Print Center in Trade Centre is geared towards quick, practical print jobs, but reviews show it can handle more than routine paperwork. Customers have used the branch for scanning and copying, wedding cards, greeting cards, flip books, posters, mugs and photo frames. It is a useful stop when you need something finished quickly and want help choosing how it should look.
Turnaround is a clear strength. A greeting card and flip book were completed in less than 30 minutes, while two customised cups took 24 hours. Another customer’s conference poster was printed in under 30 minutes.
For special-occasion work, reviewers appreciated guidance on paper options, finishes and print quality, and one mug customer saw mock-ups before confirming the design. The branch also helped arrange a food and beverage menu and supported scanning jobs. There is one important caution around photo services.
A family arriving for a child’s picture found the required stamp unavailable and described the photo station as extremely cramped. Confirm any specific photo requirements before setting out, especially if travelling with children. For customised work, ask to review the mock-up and discuss paper or finishing options before production.
Sunday opening should also be checked in advance.
