Artwork Charges

We try to keep all costs incurred for artwork as low as possible. There are, however, some charges that we do have to pass on t our clients, namely origination costs.

Origination refers to the process of setting up a screen, pad, or plate with which the printer has to use to print your items. These are generally made at the time of the order and when finished some printers retain the screens for future use but, commonly, these are now disposed of for storage reasons and a new screen, pad, or plate is generated on any future repeat orders. If this happens it is standard practice to charge a lesser fee for the repeat screens.

We are upfront about these additional costs and will always quote them as additional items on our written quotations and in our emails.
