*Pro Tip: for printed jobs, talk to your printer so you know their lead time to determine when they will need the final artwork by! Also, designers and printers will really appreciate it if you don’t wait until the last minute to order a label. Plan ahead and make everyone’s life easier!
While most of our work is based on a flat fee, these are our hourly rates when applicable. (Subject to change with time and experience.)
Production Design: $75/hr

Final payment ensures that only the agreed upon design becomes the client’s property. Any previous ideas/concepts remain the property of Great Raven Design Co, unless any agreement has been made. I reserve the right to use client work in my portfolio and promotional material.
We have a policy that after 30 days of no communication from you we will terminate the project and it will be considered cancelled.
When the first concept is presented to you, I will explain what design decisions have been made. At this point you will have the opportunity to provide feedback and request modifications if required. Up to 4 revision rounds are included within the project scope.
We do not purchase UPC codes on behalf of our clients, it is your responsibility to provide those to us.
Here is a little information that I know about UPC codes. Hopefully it will kickstart your process. Again, this is my somewhat limited knowledge of this world...
The UPC barcode used in retail is called UPC-A
The barcode graphic is a system and I have a tool where I can generate print quality barcodes based on the UPC numbers themselves. If you are to buy some, They typically would also provide you with some barcode graphics - just FYI.
There is one source, GS1, that is a registry and seems to be an industry standard place for buying unique barcodes. They register it in a database so you should theoretically be getting a unique barcode. I think they are also in more countries than the US alone. They are a bit pricey.

Alternatively, you could try this more affordable option, though I haven’t personally had a client use it so I cannot guarantee its results:
You can see with Buy A Barcode that they offer bulk pricing. You can pre-purchase a big list of UPC numbers and use them on product releases as you put them into the market.
Breweries are often trying to minimize UPCs as retailers do not want more to track. Whenever you can have a product share a single UPC, that is desired. The good case for that is a seasonal beer where you only have one out at a time - the UPC just gets used for each seasonal as it is released. Or, if you had a special series of beers - like a single hop IPA series - where there is only one put out at a time, they could share a UPC.
