Pricing & Quotes

Screen printing costs are not a one-size fits all number. The pricing it takes to print your job is as unique as the design you want on your poster. We don’t list our pricing here because we don’t want to establish an expectation that may be drastically incorrect or misinterpreted. The best way of getting the ball rolling on your order is to email us and provide these 4 key pieces of information:

• Design: Please attach or include the desired artwork. We can’t get you numbers if we can’t see what we are being asked to print.

• Quantities/finished size: Include an idea of how many total pieces you need and start thinking of finished size

• Garment & Styles: We primarily print on stock from French Paper Co., we love supporting another family business and the myriad of paper options they offer, check their options out here: French Paper Co.

• Deadline: When are you needing these by? We can do rush orders, but before we do anything, it’s best to have a date to start with.

  
  

After we get these basics, we’ll need to determine if your design is print ready. If it’s not, that doesn’t mean we can’t do it, it just means there may have to be some extra time on our end to get it up to par. We do offer graphic design services and art preparations for an additional cost. It all depends on the scale of the job and what you can provide us with for files.

“Throughout the years of rock ‘n’ roll, posters have reflected the state of the music at any given time. Fundamentally, rock music has a free-form character, for the members of the audience in their thinking and interpretation of what’s unfolding, as well as for the musicians who create that energy onstage. So it is with the poster artists themselves, because they, too, delve into the new possibilities. . .

The artistic integrity of all the people involved has always sustained my belief in having posters be a part of a musical event, even when they were no longer necessary as primary promotional vehicles to draw people to shows. Whether or not they were cost effective in the strictest business sense, posters had a place because they spread the word far beyond any one show. They were a part of the overall event, and they took the whole enterprise to another, higher level.” - Bill Graham; The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk
