Get My MatchesWhy Trust Clutch
At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.
Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.
Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.
We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:
- In-depth client interviews and ratings
- Comprehensive project details
- Market presence
- Portfolio examples and industry recognition
This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.
Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.
We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.
Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

A Clutch Leaders Matrix provides a broad view of the top-performing companies in a particular service or location. Each company featured in a Leaders Matrix is evaluated based on Focus and Ability to Deliver. The size of each circle indicates that company’s size.
By using verified reviews, focused service details, and real project data, the Leaders Matrix highlights companies that consistently deliver and stand out from the rest. Each company’s position is based on how well they focus on a service area and how consistently they deliver results, helping you make informed, confident decisions. Learn More

United States Print Design FAQs
Partnering with a domestic team removes language and shipping barriers, shortens turnaround times, and ensures compliance with U.S. labeling laws (FDA, FTC). Local print design agencies also maintain relationships with North American printers, giving you access to cost-effective press runs and specialty finishes—think foil stamping or eco-friendly inks—that might be hard to coordinate overseas.
According to verified pricing data on Clutch, most agencies charge project-based fees:
- Business cards and postcards: $500 – $1,500
- Multi-page brochures or catalogs: $2,000 – $7,000
- Full packaging systems: $5,000 – $25,000+
Hourly rates typically fall between $75 – $150, with top-tier studios in major cities commanding higher fees. Remember to budget separately for printing and specialty finishes.
American print designers work across a broad spectrum of industries and niches thanks to the country’s dynamic and expansive business landscape. You’ll often find specialists for markets like:
- Consumer packaged goods (food, beauty, CPG)
- Healthcare and pharmaceuticals (regulated labeling)
- Technology conferences and SaaS marketing
- Nonprofits and higher education (annual reports)
- Hospitality, retail, and events (menus, signage)
- Review portfolios for similar formats—packaging versus large-format signage require different expertise.
- Ask about pre-press capabilities such as color proofing, dieline creation, and print vendor coordination.
- Check Clutch reviews for communication and deadline reliability.
- Request a sample timeline outlining concept, revisions, and press checks.
- Compare printing partnerships—an agency with in-house or preferred printers may save you money.
Shortlisting the top two or three options isn’t easy. Navigate the market with ease by leveraging the directories, resources, and filters available on Clutch.
- Only digital work in their portfolio; few real-world print samples.
- Unwillingness to discuss paper stock, coatings, or CMYK vs. Pantone color accuracy.
- Vague estimates that exclude rounds of revisions or press checks.
- No clear hand-off for print-ready files or ownership rights.
- Limited knowledge of postal regulations if you’re mailing collateral.
America is home to many exceptional and trusted agencies. If you spot any of these red flags, take that as a sign to keep searching.
Get matched with the 5 best-fit agencies for your project—in 4 minutes or less.
