A print design invoice covers the line items being billed, a totals block, and the payment terms that say when it’s due and what happens if it’s late.
Press deadlines don’t wait, and the invoice still has to read like the same steady, proof-checking work that went into the job. A print design invoice like this keeps the billing clear while the buyer’s still worrying about trims, bleeds, and files that have to come back from the printer exactly right, not fussy or flimsy on the page.
The invoices layout uses an ink-stain plum with built-environment teal accents, with Raleway headings over Roboto body text, so the numbers and terms read like documentation, not decoration. The Line items section holds what’s being billed, then the totals sit under it, and the payment wording makes the late-payment line explicit: late payment pauses further work and adds an administration charge for follow-up.
- Line items Swap in your own services and prices, since the single line in the template is a placeholder.
- Totals Review the totals block after you’ve set the numbers so the amount due matches what you’re expecting.
- Payment terms Keep or edit the 14-day due wording, including the note about pausing work and adding an administration charge if payment runs late.
Inside Plutio, you replace the placeholder line and price with your own, check the totals, and send the invoice to a client. A connected payment method lets the same invoice get paid online when that’s how you want to collect.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
