Custom Marketing Production
This is the work I built two decades of credibility on. Custom boxes and 3-dimensional direct mail. Pop-up and sliding mailers. Out-of-home printing including billboards, transit displays, and fabric. Sewn hardcover books. Retail displays and point of sale. Custom influencer kits. If you need a brand experience built in three dimensions, not just printed on a flat surface, this is the line.
Project-based. See recent national-brand work on the Work page.
What You Get
Everything included, every charge disclosed.
Who It Is For
If this sounds like your situation, this is the line.
- National brand agencies needing custom 3D direct mail, structural box engineering, and pop-up mailer production
- Marketing directors at growth-stage B2B companies building influencer and unboxing kits
- Trade show teams producing custom retail display fixtures and point-of-sale assets
- Publishers and editorial teams sourcing sewn hardcover books and case-bound projects for special editions
How It Works
Four steps, fully documented.
Step 01
Concept and structural scope
Project brief, target unit count, structural feasibility, budget framing. For custom 3D mailers I bring a structural engineer into the conversation early.
Step 02
Prototype and digital proof
Structural prototype and digital proof of the printed surfaces. Pantone-locked color review and physical sample before mass production.
Step 03
Production and assembly
Run production on the printed and structural components in parallel. Hand assembly or vendor assembly depending on the project. Production timeline locked at the prototype handoff.
Step 04
Drop-ship to your list
Drop-shipped to your office, vendor, or a national prospect list. Production records and prototype files archived for future reorders or campaign extensions.

Frequently Asked
The questions buyers ask first.
What is the minimum order on Wicked Cheap Pens?
2,500 units. That is the floor for full-color imprint pricing. Pricing is 35 cents a unit at 2,500, 27 cents a unit at 10,000, and 16 cents a unit at 100,000 and above. Setup fee is disclosed on the written quote and never charged again on exact reorders.
Can you do rush production in under 7 business days?
Yes. Standard production runs 7 to 10 business days. Rush in 5 business days is available on most product lines with a documented rush surcharge disclosed on the quote. If a deadline is genuinely impossible, I will tell you on the first call, not after you have placed the order.
How do you handle artwork files? What do I need to send?
Vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) are best. High-resolution PNG works for most jobs. If you only have a low-res logo, I have an in-house art process to rebuild it as a clean vector at no extra charge on first orders. Pantone color codes are appreciated but I can pull them from a printed sample if you do not have them.
Will I be hit with setup fees, screen charges, or color upcharges after the quote?
No. Every charge is on the written quote before you cut the PO. Setup, screen, color upcharges, and rush fees are all disclosed at quote stage. Surprise invoicing is the failure pattern I built this business to fix.
Can you Pantone-match our locked brand colors?
Yes. Pantone match is included on pen orders 5,000 units and above, and on every tumbler and embroidered polo order. I send a printed proof or physical sample before production on every first-time logo placement.
