How WrapBoard works for designers

Click “I'm a designer” on the homepage. Tell us your US state, portfolio link, and your wrap/print experience — real production knowledge is what we vet for.

We review every application for US location and genuine wrap/large-format experience, usually within one business day. You can browse the board while you wait.

Add a photo, your specialties, preferred software, and portfolio images (Profile page). Set your included revision rounds — shops see all of it when choosing designers.

Payouts page → “Connect payout account.” Stripe collects your identity and bank details directly (WrapBoard never sees them) and handles your 1099s. Required before you can claim.

Every job shows the budget already paid into escrow before you lift a pen. Matched invites give best-fit designers first claim for an hour — deliver well and the steady work finds you. Your claim limit starts at 1 and grows with every paid job.

The brief includes the end client's contact info, and claiming opens a client portal — the client gets a magic link with a chat thread straight to you, your proof uploads (full-size and zoomable), and a design-approval button. Start the conversation before you design: introduce yourself and ask your open questions — the client is emailed the moment you write. Calls and your own process are still yours to run; the portal keeps the record and nudges the client by email when you post something new.

Each time the client requests a round, hit “Log revision round” on the job — it keeps a visible count against your included rounds and restarts the protection clock.

Upload a proof to the job (a preview for review — it's the shop's record, not production art) and click “Mark delivered.”

When the shop approves for production, the escrow releases — you're paid by bank transfer within 7 days — and you upload the clean production files.
