How much does it cost to fix a file for print?
A single simple fix, such as embedding fonts, resizing or adding crop marks, is $10. Adding bleed is $20 and converting RGB to CMYK is $20, because the artwork has to be extended or the colors matched by eye. A logo redraw starts at $25, and setting up a label or box on your printer’s dieline starts at $75. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I see the fixed file before I pay?
Yes, for file fixes. Send the file in the chat and say you’d like to see it first. We fix it and send a proof: a marked picture of the fixed file with a note of what changed. If it’s right, you pay the fixed price and get the print-ready file. If it isn’t, you pay nothing. New designs and packaging get a fixed quote first instead.
How fast will I get my file back?
Quick fixes usually come back the same day, and most other jobs within 24 to 48 hours of you approving the price. Bigger packaging jobs get a timeline with the quote.
My printer rejected my file. What should I send you?
The file you sent them and their message explaining what’s wrong, if you have it. If the printer gave you a dieline or a spec sheet, send that too. A screenshot or a phone photo is fine to start; we’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you turn an AI image or a mock-up into a print-ready file?
Yes. An AI image or a 3D render shows what a product should look like, but a printer needs flat artwork on the dieline, at the right size and resolution. We rebuild it: vectors where they’re needed, real panels, bleed, barcode space and type a press can hold. The GameMaster and DeMori boxes in our work are two examples.
Do I need a dieline for my box or label?
If your printer or packaging supplier gave you one, send it and we’ll build on it. If not, give us the product or box dimensions and we can draw a standard one for your printer to confirm before artwork starts.
Is asking a question really free?
Yes. Ask whether something can be printed, which file your printer needs, or what a job would cost. A designer answers, and you don’t have to buy anything.
What if I don’t like the result?
New designs include revisions until you’re happy. Fixes include a round of tweaks, and if we misread what you asked for, we put it right at no charge.
What files do I get, and who owns them?
A print-ready PDF made to your printer’s specs, plus the source file (AI, PSD or INDD) and packaged fonts where licenses allow. You own the artwork the moment it’s delivered.
Do you offer monthly plans?
Yes. Small brand is $299 a month for up to 7 jobs, and Unlimited is $699 a month for unlimited requests, one at a time. Both can be paused or canceled anytime.
I run a print shop. Can you work under my shop’s name?
Yes, that’s how the studio started. We work white-label: every file goes out under your shop’s name, with nothing pointing back to us, and we never contact your customers. See the page for print shops.
Where are you based?
The studio is in Pakistan, and we work with clients across the US, UK and the Gulf. For US clients, the time difference means work sent in the evening is often ready by morning.
