Add value and create a sense of exclusivity to your print editions.  

A driving mission behind Bicep Xpress was to create a solution allowing artists to release their work as limited editions through a print-on-demand model. So that’s what we did - we designed a process that allows you to set up your edition with authentication options so each print is ready to print whenever you are. And the best bit is we can ship it directly to your customers too.

  • Set up your print edition with custom authentication options.

  • When you sell a print, simply order through our site. We then print and dispatch within 2 - 4 days.

  • We ship directly to your customers in white labeled or custom branded packaging.

Authenticate your work

Authentication not only signifies that the print is part of a limited edition, but it also creates a personal connection with your customers. 

We've designed a solution that allows you to authenticate your work without being here in the studio to sign your prints. This enables you to order your prints remotely with the flexibility of printing only what you sell...

Custom blind emboss stamp

Add your personal touch to the print through the form of a blind emboss stamp. How this looks is completely up to you, it could be your signature, logo or perhaps a combination of the two. The blind emboss stamp is applied to the print and also the COA.

Blind emboss set up fee is £60. 
The cost of stamping each print thereafter is £2

COA's

A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a document that verifies the provenance of a print. It includes details about the print, such as the artist's name, title, dimensions, paper, edition number (if it's part of a limited edition), and it's hand signed by the artist.

Our COAs are 6 x 4” and are placed in a protective clear wallet. 

10 COAs are included in the COA setup service, these are posted to you. Simply sign them and return in the prepaid envelope provided. These are stored at the studio and sent out with each print ordered from the edition.

COA setup fee is £24 
COAs are then charged at £3 per print order.

Numbering

If your print is part of an limited edition you can opt for the hand-numbering service. We will hand number each print for you in traditional pencil.

Hand-numbering is charged at £2 per print
