The Ordering Process
Gather ideas by taking a look at our gallery and customizations pages. Keep in mind that we're quite flexible so if you don't see exactly what you're looking for, let us know. And if you'd like to see a physical sample we'd be happy to mail you a free one.
Get a quote either by visiting our pricing page or by emailing us. We understand that while most of our pricing is covered online, it's always nice to see a written price quote. So please don't hesitate to ask for one and we'll email it to you as a PDF file.
Open your order by calling us or with our Online Order Form. We start by charging a $120 deposit and gathering information from you regarding the details of the order. Once the deposit's been paid, we create a personalized webpage for you where you can view working drafts of the layouts and send us feedback [ see an example ]. Every order includes one free hour of custom design time for every $250 spent on printing [ more about this ]. Additional design work is billed at $60 per hour.

If you're a designer who's providing completely press-ready artwork, we can usually offer a 15% discount [ more about press-ready artwork ]. In this case, we skip the personalized webpage and move straight to a PDF proof.
Finalize the order by signing off on the final PDF proofs that we email to you. Once we receive your signed proofs, we require payment in full (minus the deposit you've already paid) and we begin printing.
Relax while we print your order. By default, we promise to have your order printed within three weeks from the day that the order is finalized. Assuming our current workload allows, we can rush the order for an additional fee: 20% extra for a two-week rush or 40% extra for a one-week rush.
