24/7 DTF Pickup in Richardson: How Our Self-Service Lobby Works
Jun 9, 2026
Most print shops have business hours. DTF Dallas has business hours for the office, and a separate pickup area that never closes.
The main entrance at the Richardson location stays open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which means you can pick up your order at 11 PM on a Saturday, 6 AM before a Monday market, or any time that works for your schedule, not ours.

The Setup: Two Doors, Two Access Levels
The DTF Dallas facility at 903 N Bowser Rd, Suite 250, Richardson, TX 75081 has two entry points:
Main entrance — Open 24/7
Walk-in customers and order pickup happen here. Completed orders are placed on designated shelves in the front area, organized by customer name or order number. You walk in, find your order on the shelf, and walk out. No check-in required, no waiting for staff.
Inner office door — Locked outside business hours
This leads to the production floor and staff work areas. This door stays locked outside of business hours. You do not need access to the inner office to pick up a completed order.
The self-service model means that order fulfillment and customer pickup are fully separated. Your order is ready when it is ready. The pickup happens whenever it is convenient for you.
Business Hours vs. Pickup Hours
Business hours for staff assistance, in-person order help, and walk-in consultations:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 8 AM – 7 PM CST |
| Tuesday | 8 AM – 7 PM CST |
| Wednesday | 8 AM – 7 PM CST |
| Thursday | 8 AM – 7 PM CST |
| Friday | 8 AM – 7 PM CST |
| Saturday | 8 AM – 6 PM CST |
| Sunday | 8 AM – 6 PM CST |
Pickup hours: 24/7, any day of the year.
If you need to ask a question, review an order, or get help with a file, come during business hours. If you just need to grab your completed order, come whenever it works.
Same-Day Pickup: The 2 PM CST Cutoff
Same-day production is available for orders with print-ready files submitted before 2:00 PM CST, Monday through Friday. Submit your file and complete payment before the cutoff, and your order is produced the same day. Pick it up any time after production completes, including the same evening or the following morning if that is more convenient.
The same-day cutoff is 2:00 PM CST. Files submitted after 2:00 PM are typically produced the following business day. For weekend orders, production scheduling varies. Contact the shop to confirm availability for Saturday or Sunday production.
Who Uses the 24/7 Pickup
The self-service lobby serves several specific use cases that business-hours-only shops cannot accommodate:
Early morning market vendors
Craft fair and farmers market vendors who set up at 6 or 7 AM need product before staff reporting time at most shops. A 5 AM pickup from DTF Dallas is a normal occurrence.
Late-night press runs
Print shops that run production into the evening frequently pick up transfers after 8 or 9 PM. The lobby is there when they need it. Shops that order gang sheets for full-day press runs benefit most from the 24/7 pickup availability. Orders placed before 2:00 PM CST are produced the same day and can be collected as soon as production completes.
Weekend pickup after event orders
Teams, organizations, and event planners who placed orders on Friday often want to pick up on Saturday evening or Sunday morning rather than waiting until Monday.
Customers outside regular business hours
People with 9 to 5 schedules who cannot make a pickup during business hours have a full window of evening and weekend time to collect their orders without taking time off work.
What to Expect on Pickup
Your completed order is placed on a designated shelf in the lobby area, labeled with your order information. When you arrive:
-
Walk through the main entrance
Unlocked, 24/7. No code, no key, no appointment needed.

-

Do I need to call ahead before coming for pickup?
No. Once your order is ready and placed on the shelf, you can walk in and grab it without any check-in or appointment. You will be notified when your order is ready for pickup, and from that point you can come collect it at any time.
Can I pick up a same-day order on Friday evening or Saturday morning?
