Working With Us
Our Custom Design Process
01. Consultation
All our custom projects generally start with a complimentary design consultation to establish what you’re looking for and the scope of your project. This can be done either in person at our studio or over the phone.
Chatting with you about your project helps us pinpoint your needs and aesthetic so we can put together a proposal and quote. If you’re happy with everything we’ve discussed a payment of 50% is required to begin work and secure a place in our production calendar.
02. Design
It’s time to start designing and bring your project to life! Depending on your project we may start with some rough sketches of a couple of different options for the design. Once we’ve found the direction that you love, we will provide you with digital mockups of the design for you to review.
03. Refine
The next step in the design phase is making sure everything is exactly what you want. Double and triple checking all the info on your pieces so that they are absolutely perfect. Custom designs generally include 2 complimentary rounds of revisions. Additional design revisions can of course be made at an additional cost.
04. Production
Once everything is just perfect and you’ve signed off on your print ready artwork, it’s time to start production! Printing and production generally takes about 10 days depending on the complexity of the project and if any supplies need to be custom ordered.
05. Delivery
When your project is complete we’ll confirm the delivery or shipping method with you and get your order all packed up and ready to head out the door to you. Before your projects starts its journey to you, the final payment on your invoice is due.
06. REJOICE
Enjoy your new lovingly printed goods. We’d love if you tagged us in any of your social media posts (@hubbubpaperco).

Pricing depends on the size, complexity and time required to complete a job. Contact us and we will provide you with a quote after discussing the details of your job. It is always helpful to let us know your rough budget and then we can help you find the perfect solution.

We will provide you with a digital proof for you to okay before moving ahead with a job. Physical proofs or press checks are inherently difficult with letterpress because of the setup required. If you are local we can arrange to have you come by the shop as we start printing your order. We’re also happy to send photos as we start to print.
What colour inks do you have?
We custom mix all our colours so you can specify your colour from the Pantone Solid Uncoated guide. We also have gold and silver inks. Unlike foil, these inks will have a muted lustre rather than the shine of foil. They do provide good coverage on dark or coloured papers. We also do foil printing if your looking for a truly shiny metallic look.
What paper do you use?
We use carry a couple of different papers that are specially designed for letterpress. You can see more details about paper choices here. We’re always happy to help you source a different stock if you’re looking for something specific.
