The cost of the Artkive Box service is separated into multiple payments: you will pay an initial payment for your shipping kit and a final payment for the creation of your book/mosaic(s). Your initial payment does not cover the price of any photography, editing, digitization, book or mosaic costs. You will be sent an invoice once the photography of your art has been completed.
- The $39 Artkive Box starter kit. You'll receive the Box with instructions on how to organize your art and a prepaid UPS shipping label for when you're ready to send it back to us. You also have the option of adding Art Return for $20. The initial purchase is not a deposit and does not cover any photography/book costs.
- Once we receive the artwork and photograph your art, there will be a final payment due based on the number of pieces you send and how many books you want. The final payment covers professionally photographing and editing each individual piece, building your book proof(s), and then printing and shipping of your book(s). This price can be calculated using the pricing slider on our website. Every piece you send to Artkive is included in your final payment. Removing pieces later will not reduce your cost.
Pricing for books starts at $75 for a 20-piece book and goes up to $740 for a 350-piece book.
Make sure to note that the price on the slider is per book.
For example if you wanted two books of 50 pieces each, the total would be $320.
Below are some other sample price points:
- 20-25 Pieces - $75
- 50 Pieces - $160
- 100 Pieces - $265
- 200 Pieces - $455
- 300 Pieces - $645
- 350 Pieces - $740
Orders may not be canceled after your art has been sent. Every piece you send will be charged and removing images from the book will not reduce the cost.
Items that require multiple photographs to capture (ie double sided art, booklets, cards) will count as multiple pieces in terms of pricing. If there are items where you want only one side of the art captured, you must leave a note in the box to specify this.
