About Us
PaperToProd is where a client's idea becomes production-ready work. We are a specialized marketplace for jewelry design and CAD — connecting manufacturers, studios, and brands with verified freelance designers, with every project payment held in escrow so both sides can work with confidence.
What we do
Jewelry CAD work is iterative and trust-heavy. Clients often cannot fully judge a design until it is nearly finished, and designers risk doing the work without being paid. PaperToProd removes that risk on both sides: the client funds the project up front into escrow, the designer delivers through the platform, and the designer is paid in full the moment the client approves the work.
Why we are not just another freelance marketplace
PaperToProd is not a generic gig site. It is a structured workflow built around how jewelry design actually happens:
- Escrow on every project — clients only pay for work they approve; designers are guaranteed payment for approved work.
- Revision Quotes — when a request grows beyond the original brief, the designer can quote the extra scope and the client accepts or declines, so scope changes never go unpaid or unclear.
- Everything in one place — proposals, contracts, chat, CAD files, renders, and revision history stay on the platform, so there is always a complete record of the work.
- Fair dispute resolution — if something goes wrong, a Dispute Manager reviews the evidence and decides a fair outcome.
For clients
- Post a job and receive proposals from verified jewelry CAD designers.
- Pay into escrow up front and release payment only when you approve the work.
- Preview deliverables — including 3D models — directly in your browser before approving.
- Handle scope changes cleanly through Revision Quotes instead of awkward renegotiation.
- Stay protected: if work is undeliverable or abandoned, escrow and dispute resolution have you covered.
For designers
- A steady stream of verified jewelry CAD work from serious clients.
- Guaranteed payment — the client's funds are secured in escrow before you start.
- Your full quote lands in your wallet — one simple fee applies only when you withdraw, and it shrinks the more you withdraw at once.
- Get paid for extra work through Revision Quotes when a request goes beyond the brief.
- Build a wallet balance as projects are approved and withdraw to your bank when you choose.
How we make money
Clients pay the designer's quote plus payment processing at cost (3%, the gateway's transaction charge) — no platform fee, no markup. We earn a transparent withdrawal fee when designers cash out their wallet: 15% on withdrawals under $200, 10% from $200, and just 5% from $400 up. The bigger the withdrawal, the lower the rate — and the exact fee is shown before every withdrawal is confirmed.
Where we are headed
We start with jewelry design and CAD because it is a craft that demands trust and iteration — exactly the problems escrow and a structured workflow are built to solve. Our larger goal is to make turning an idea into production-ready work the easiest and safest path for everyone involved.
