Need candy-bar packaging designed for a donor reception? Or maybe a T-shirt for your student workers? Or a bronze medallion for your scholarship program? There’s really no limit to what we can do—and if you’ve got a special project, be sure to let us know.
Costs
As a fee-for-service operation, we will provide you an estimate for our services at the beginning of a project. If your project is being printed, you will also incur a charge from the printer. Most projects printed through our office are sent out on competitive bids (we help select appropriate printers based on the specifications of your job).
If your project requires photographs, we can arrange photo sessions with freelance photographers and art direct the photography. There is a separate charge to cover the costs of freelance photographers. We sometimes use freelance writers, editors, designers, and illustrators depending on the needs of your project and your deadline requirements.
If your project requires travel (for example, for photography or a press check in another city), there will be a charge to cover expenses. There are occasionally other small expenses covered by the client, including sending proofs via overnight couriers.
