Candid Color Systems®, like many other businesses, has experienced an increase in costs (labor, shipping and raw materials) for many of the products and services we provide. We have worked hard to keep our prices extremely reasonable, especially for those operating in a View First™ model. Below is an overview of how our pricing has changed on as of August 1st and after. While some prices have gone up, we have also lowered the prices of some products or added new lower-cost product alternatives. There are no photographic print price increases in this change.
Price change overview:

REMINDER- USPS rate increase and FYI:
The USPS rate increase went into effect this week. It will impact many of our letters by adding approximately $.03. The rate increase could be up to $.16 on other USPS pieces. You may also temporarily receive packages from CCS that say “Royal Lab” instead of Candid color systems due to a USPS programming change.
