The Good Stuff
Exhibition orders
A large order of four giant posters and 200 brochures was completed with one day’s notice.
Photo help
Reviews describe knowledgeable assistance with visa, passport and ID photo requirements.
Material advice
Staff have helped customers choose suitable paper and materials rather than simply taking the order.
Rush orders
Customers report that the team handles urgent printing requests, including rush orders.
Print quality
Reviews mention high-quality final products delivered on time, including printing completed as specified.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow buffer. For passport photos or appointments, arrive with extra time: one visitor waited over 20 minutes and missed a consulate appointment.
Plan ahead. Do not leave a small or urgent job until the last minute; one review says it can take up to an hour.
Confirm replies. If sending files or instructions by WhatsApp, confirm that the branch has received them before relying on the order.
Ask materials. Ask which paper or material suits the job; customers have received useful recommendations before printing.
Exhibition backup. For a Trade Centre exhibition, the shop can be a last-minute option for posters and brochures, but build in time where possible.

The Bottom Line
DESCO Copy & Print Center is a practical Trade Centre stop for print jobs and official photography. Customers have used it for business cards, giant posters, brochures, and passport or visa photos. One business-card order was finished in less than 15 minutes, while another review reports four giant posters and 200 brochures produced with one day’s notice and good quality.
The shop also has a photo studio for passport, visa and Emirates ID images, and reviews describe knowledgeable help with photo requirements. For print work, customers appreciate advice on paper and other materials, which is useful when you are unsure what will suit the job. The business description also identifies larger-format printing, promotional items, engraving and rubber-stamp making among its services.
Speed is not guaranteed when the branch is busy. Reviews mention staff juggling customers, a small job taking up to an hour, and one passport-photo visit running more than 20 minutes late. Another customer said calls and WhatsApp messages went unanswered.
If your order is tied to a flight, consulate appointment or exhibition opening, send details early and confirm receipt rather than assuming a last-minute request will be completed immediately.
