How can we help?

Here at Beyond Cataclysm we’re all about partnering with other creatives to make beautiful things. As part of that, we provide a one-stop shop for Kickstarter and Crowdfunders. This includes:

arranging and creating Kickstarter campaigns
collecting surveys & postage costs
printing and distributing to your backers worldwide

We also offer a partial service; just need printing, or shipping, or just cover for part of the world? We can do it all! Why not drop us a message to discuss it?

What makes us different?

We are a bunch of creatives who love to make things with our hands. We operate professionally, but – make no mistake – we do this because we love it. There might be distribution companies who operate a more slick routine than us – but will you find anyone else who will write a personal thank you note to every single backer, and decorate every single parcel? We don’t think so!

Every parcel Beyond Cataclysm post out has a handwritten thank you note and a hand-drawn label!
