Design Fee Guide

Design Fee Information

✨ What Is a Design Fee?

At Pressed Expressions by Nesh, every custom order is made just for you — which means each design requires time, creativity, and behind-the-scenes work before your item is ever pressed.

A design fee covers the time spent:

  1. Creating your custom artwork
  2. Editing or adjusting your design
  3. Communicating about details
  4. Preparing your file for production
  5. Sending proofs/mock-ups when needed

This fee ensures that every idea you share gets the attention, detail, and care it deserves. 💖

💰 How Much Is the Design Fee?

Design fees vary depending on the complexity of your request:

✨ Quick & Simple Designs

$5–$10
For small text changes, basic layouts, simple graphics, or minor edits.

🎨 Medium-Level Custom Designs

$10–$20
For more detailed concepts, layered designs, custom layouts, or specific style requests.

🖌️ Highly Detailed or Original Artwork

$20–$35+
For intricate designs, custom illustrations, multiple mock-ups, or orders requiring significant design time.

You’ll always be informed of the design fee before any work begins — no surprises, ever!

🤝 Is the Design Fee Refundable?

Because the fee covers time and work already completed, the design fee is non-refundable.
However, I always make sure you love your design before production begins!

🧡 Why Is There a Design Fee?

Great question — and an important one!
Custom work takes much more than just pressing the final product. It includes:

  • Brainstorming
  • Designing
  • Adjusting
  • Communicating
  • Proofing
  • Preparing
  • Perfecting

The design fee helps ensure your vision is created with care, quality, and attention to detail — from the first message to the final press.

When Is the Design Fee Required?

A design fee may apply when:

  • You’re requesting a brand-new design
  • You need edits to an existing layout
  • You want a mock-up before production
  • The design requires special details or formatting

If your order uses an existing design with no edits, no fee will be charged.
