ServicesPrint and company documents
The paper a customer holds should match the site they just left.
Brochures, one-pagers, flyers, decks, trade-show signage. Then the everyday paper nobody designs on purpose: invoices, letterhead, proposals, estimate sheets. Same type, same color, same studio, so the business looks like one business from the homepage to the invoice.
Priced by the piece. Flat fee, quoted once the list is named. Bundled with a website or identity project for a discount.
Five steps from the list to the press.
List the pieces.
A short call to name what you actually hand out. The brochure you reprint every spring, the estimate sheet the crew leaves behind, the invoice that goes out twice a week. We work from the real list, not a package.
Pull the system across.
If we built your identity or your site, the type, color, and spacing come straight over. If we did not, we take what exists and tighten it so the printed pieces and the website stop looking like two different companies.
Lay out and write.
Every piece set and, where you want it, rewritten. A brochure gets read standing up in a driveway, so it is written that way. One round of layout, then you read it back and mark what to change.
Prepare for the printer.
Press-ready PDFs with bleed, crop marks, and CMYK conversion. We talk to your printer directly if that is easier, and we check the proof before it goes on press.
Hand over the editable files.
You get source files and, for the pieces that change often, a template you or your bookkeeper can edit without calling us. Invoices and estimate sheets should not need a designer every time.
One flat fee.
Quoted once the list of pieces is named. No hourly billing, no retainer.
What moves the quote
How many pieces are on the list, and how many of them are genuinely different rather than the same layout at a second size. Whether the copy is written or needs writing. Whether an identity already exists to work from, or the type and color have to be settled first.
Bundled with a website or an identity, the printed pieces come off the same system the site is built on, so nothing has to be reconciled twice.

What owners ask before they send the list.
Don’t see yours? Ask us directly.
Can you do print if you did not build our website?
Yes. We take the identity as it stands, tighten what needs tightening, and set the printed pieces to match it. If the existing identity is the actual problem, we will say so before quoting, and you can decide whether to fix that first.
Do you handle the printing itself?
We prepare press-ready files and deal with your printer directly if you want us to. The printing is billed by the printer, so you are not paying our margin on paper. If you do not have a printer, we can point you at one.
What counts as one piece?
One finished item: a trifold brochure, a one-page flyer, an invoice template, a pull-up banner. A two-sided piece is still one piece. The list gets named in the brief so the number is settled before anything starts.
Can we edit the invoices ourselves afterward?
That is the point of the template. Invoices, letterhead, and estimate sheets ship as editable files so you or your bookkeeper can change a line without a design request. The fixed pieces like brochures stay with us for revisions.
How does this bundle with a website or an identity?
It bundles cleanly with both, and that is the cheapest way to buy it. The type and color get set once and used everywhere, so the site, the brochure, and the invoice all read as one business instead of three.
How long does print work take?
Two to four weeks for a normal list, from the brief to press-ready files. Longer if copywriting is in scope or the list runs deep. Printing time is on top of that and depends on your printer.
Send us the list of what you hand out.
Brochure, invoice, estimate sheet, banner, whatever it is. We come back with a scope and a flat number, usually within two business days.
