FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

what type of printing do you offer?

Glad you asked! Good Lookin’ is a specialty print studio, using vintage equipment for impression-based print methods (like letterpress, foil stamping, and more). Our inks are mixed by hand and pieces are printed one at color a time on presses that have been around for generations. We aren’t a digital copy shop (we don’t do anything fast or cheap) but if you are looking for timeless, tactile print work that stands apart from the rest, you've come to the right place!

where are you located?

We’re located at 2010 26th Ave S. in the heart of South Minneapolis’ Seward neighborhood. Good Lookin' Print Co. shares a space with our retail sister company, Bench Pressed. We are a full time production studio (and a very small team) so we kindly ask that you make an appointment so we can make sure we have dedicated time to discuss your project. NO DROP-INS PLEASE, but feel free to enjoy the sights and sounds while you shop at Bench Pressed. To set up a time chat with someone from our team (in person, on a call, or over internet video) please contact us: meet@goodlookinprint.co

how do i get an estimate? how much will it cost?

The best way to get an estimate started is to fill out this form with your project details and share any artwork/design/inspo you have (in progress is better than nothing). The more details you provide, the quicker we can give you an accurate quote! Once we’ve receive your inquiry, we'll work on calculating pricing and follow up with any questions.

Official production estimates are based on finalized artwork, material selection, and quantities. Due to the cost of materials and the setup time required, a minimum budget of $500 should be anticipated, though most project costs require a much higher investment. Most invitation suites are in the $2.5k-$8k range. ​The more intricate (think # of colors or print processes), the more tooling and setups are required, and the higher the level of investment. We're always happy to offer recommendations to work within the budget you have available.

how custom is your custom printing?

The world is your oyster! Custom ink colors, foils, and papers in every color of the rainbow are awaiting. We're connected to local and global reps and distributors to help source specialty materials around the world. We'll work with you to find the right fit for your project based on look/feel, pricing, and availability. Read about design specifics like maximum sheet sizes, color mixing, and more below.

what are your minimum order quantities (moq)?

No minimum order quantities here! We’ll print 1 (or 1 million) of whatever you want but, regardless of quantity, it’s safe to anticipate a minimum investment north of $500 even for a small single color custom project. Whether you need a short run of 50 wedding invites or an epic job with thousands of impressions, we’re here to make sure you look good. 

​​

TLDR; Order as many/few you want, be prepared for a minimum $500+ budget, and remember that the higher the volume, the better the unit costs become. We’re always happy to quote a few different quantities if you’d like to compare.

how fast can i get my project?

Good Lookin’ things take time to produce, about 2-4 weeks on average, but our turn speeds depend on your project’s complexity, material availability, and our current production schedule. Projects that require any creative (design and/or development) work upfront should plan for 4-12 weeks ahead of production. Production turn time officially starts after we've received payment and you approve our PDF proof of your production-ready artwork. If you have a firm in-hand date, please let us know upfront so we can see what’s possible. Here’s what you need to know:

• Typical turnaround:

  • Stationery & business cards: 10-15 business days

  • Packaging projects: 20–25 business days

  • Complex or high-quantity projects may take longer

• Rush orders (<10 business days) are sometimes, but not always possible, and come with an additional fee. Let us know ASAP if you’re on a tight timeline, and we’ll see what we can do!

​Keep in mind, our timelines don't include shipping!

how does shipping get handled?

Shipping rates are determined once a job is finished and packed, based on weight, delivery location, and speed. We ship via UPS Ground the vast majority of the time, but if you are in a rush for your order, expedited 2-day or overnight is always an option - just let us know. You can review the UPS Ground Map here to estimate an approximate ground delivery speed. Shipping fees are invoiced after shipment. By placing an order with us, you/the client, agree to pay shipping charges upon receipt of the invoice.

We insure every package for its full value to give you peace of mind. While we take great care to pack your order securely, shipping can be unpredictable, and damage or loss may occur during transit. Once your package leaves our shop, it’s out of our control. If issues arise, the recipient is responsible for filing a claim directly with the carrier.

satisfaction guarantee 

We take pride in our work and do everything we can to ensure you’re happy with your prints. However, refunds, reprints, and credits are decided on a case-by-case basis. Before ordering: Make sure you understand our processes, what they look like, and what to expect. If you have any questions or concerns prior to placing your order, we'll work with you to ensure alignment for a positive outcome.

​

Rare possibilities we should mention:

• You need to cancel your order: Depending on how far along your project is, you may be eligible for a credit or partial refund, minus the cost of materials and time already spent.​​

• We have unexpected issues: Tooling can get damaged, materials don't arrive on-time, etc. Our equipment is vintage, and while we work hard to keep everything running smoothly, delays can happen. If something breaks or doesn’t go as planned, we’ll notify you immediately and adjust timelines as needed. Rush fees will be refunded if delays occur.
