How an order works

  1. Send the idea

    Tell us what you want, how many and when you need it. A logo file helps, but a photo or a sketch is enough to start.

  2. Get a proof and a price

    You get a picture of what it will look like and a firm quote. Nothing gets made until you approve both.

  3. We make it

    Your order is cut, printed and assembled in our shop and inspected before it leaves.

  4. Pick up or ship

    Local pickup in Fort Wayne, or we ship it to you.

Get a quote

Describe it, sketch it or send a photo. We work out how to make it and send back a proof and a firm price.
