We print the thing above your door, and the one taped to your counter.
Kalye Press is a small shop on Burgos Street. We draw and print signs, menu boards, price lists and product labels for sari-sari stores, food stalls, barber shops, bakeries and anyone else selling something on a street in Negros Occidental.
No minimum of fifty. One board is a job. Bring a photo of your stall on your phone and we can start from that.
What we make
Tarpaulin sign
P 22 / sq ftPrinted, eyeletted, hemmed. We draw the layout first; two revisions are part of the price. Most shop-front sizes come to between P 450 and P 1,100.Acrylic panel sign
from P 1,850Cut acrylic with vinyl lettering, standoff mounted. For doors and counters that get rained on and wiped every day.Menu board, painted
from P 1,400Plywood or chalk-finish board, hand lettered, sealed. We leave a panel you can rewrite when the price of ice changes.Price list, laminated
P 180 eachA4 or A3, set in a size that reads from the kerb. Reprints of the same file are P 120.Product labels, sheet
P 240 / sheet of 24For bottled sauces, dried fish, baked goods, plant cuttings. Kiss-cut or die-cut, matte or gloss.Vinyl window lettering
P 95 / sq ftHours, numbers, "open", arrows. We bring the squeegee and put it up for you if you are within Bacolod.Studies
Work we set ourselves, not client jobs. When the shop is quiet we pick a subject off the street and draw it out properly, because the drawing is the part most people skip and it is the part that decides whether a sign reads at four metres. These are our own; nothing here was made for a paying customer.
A sari-sari shelf, sorted
One wall of a corner store, redrawn with the stock grouped and the price cards aligned to a single baseline. The question was how few label sizes you need before a shelf stops looking shouted at. Three, as it turned out.
Juice stall, front elevation
A fruit juice cart drawn flat on, then the same cart with a board above it. Tested two headline weights against the awning colour to see which one still carried in the four o'clock glare.
Island jigsaw, interlocking cuts
Island shapes that tile into each other, drawn to work out how tight a die-cut can run before the cutter starts tearing the backing. Ended up as a sticker sheet we give to children who come in with their parents.
Balcony planters, tags
Small plant tags for a row of pots on our own balcony. Weatherproofing was the point: four laminate and ink pairings left out through a wet September to see which ones were still legible in October.
How a job runs
- Tell us what it is forMessage us with the shop, what you sell and where the sign goes. A photo of the spot is more use than measurements.
- We send a drawing and a priceUsually the same day, next morning at the latest. The price on the drawing is the price; we do not add for file setup.
- Two revisionsChange the wording, the size, the colour. After the second round there is a P 150 charge per further change, which is mostly there to stop endless rounds.
- Print and finishTwo to three working days for tarpaulin and labels, five for acrylic and painted boards.
- Pick up or we installPick up at the shop, or we fit it for P 350 inside Bacolod. Outside the city we quote the trip separately.
