Invoice Template

Running a profitable graphics design business requires not only skill and creativity but a bit of hard work, too. Having an effective invoice can help to lighten the administrative load involved with managing your design services accounts, and working with templates is one way to make this happen.

The Best Free Invoicing for Graphic Designers

With Invoice Ninja, you can easily and customize your invoices to reflect what’s unique about your graphic design service. You can create color schemes, layouts, and sections, and then insert your logo throughout your digital materials to create the perfect invoice. Invoice Ninja doesn’t stop at invoice creation—it also helps you track client payments on each invoice.

Beautiful Graphic Designer Invoice for Your Firm

An invoice serves as a legally enforceable agreement between you and your clients. Creating a clear, accurate invoice demonstrates your professionalism and helps you get paid faster. An effective graphic design invoice should include the following information:

Graphic designer’s first name, last name, and contact information
Name of the client or company that commissioned the work
Date of the invoice and an invoice reference number
Project name or identifier along with details of what the project entailed
Dates the design was requested and submitted
Due date of the payment and all acceptable payment methods
Timesheets during the design process, if requested by the client

If the invoice is for a portion of a larger project, include a statement in the invoice detailing the balance of the budget remaining and when the final client invoicing will occur. With a template from Invoice Ninja, you can get back to doing what you do best—creating stunning designs.

Graphic Design Firms Invoicing Template

When you have an invoice design ready the next step is to send it to the client so you get paid! The best time to send an invoice will depend on the client, as they often have specific processes for invoicing that you need to follow to get paid on time for your graphics and services.

Depending on how you want to be paid or the client’s request, you can request an advance payment or a partial advance on design services, or bill in full upon completion of the project using templates offered by Invoice Ninja.

Before sending your invoice to a client, always double-check to make sure the information on the invoice is correct. This will help you build trust with clients and avoid any invoicing headaches in the future.

While creating incredible graphic designs is great for your portfolio and attracting clients, invoicing is key to ensuring the success of your business. A graphic design invoice template can help you get paid, track payments, manage your accounting, and serve as a way to strengthen your brand identity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Graphic Design Invoice Templates

What are the benefits of using invoice templates?

Graphic designers need their invoices to be clear, legally valid, clean, set on time, and professional–a hastily typed Word document or invoice email simply doesn’t give the right impression and can pretty easily be mistaken for spam.

Invoice templates provide a done-for-you format. All you need to do is upload your logo and company details (or personal information if you’re a freelance graphic designer) and enter the relevant billing information to have a professional invoice. It’s quick, simple, and free!

Missing out something crucial from an invoice is all too easy when you’re in a rush, working through a massive pile of outstanding admin, or trying to type or write out every business invoice manually. Our templates are ready to go, with options to link to your preferred payment method, ensuring you don’t skip past anything important, such as sales tax, payment due dates, or your contact details.

Which invoice template formats should I use for my graphic design business?

The choice of invoice template is yours–browse through our professional templates and pick a style that feels right for your business! Our free plan includes four to choose from, or you can go Pro and unlock access to a library of eleven invoice formats that you can use for your design business.

When you first create your Invoice Ninja account, we’ll give you a nudge to upload your design business logo to invoices, so every invoice you produce is tailored to you.

How do I make a graphic design invoice for my small business?

It’s simple to create a graphic design invoice for your business, and you don’t need bookkeeping or accounting expertise to produce professional, consistent invoices, whether you’re an experienced business owner or just starting out. Here’s how it works:

Create an Invoice Ninja account, enter your details, and upload your logo onto the invoice.
Pick the template you like best, and type in the relevant info: customer name, address, and any other relevant invoicing details.

That’s it! Shoot your graphic design invoice over to your client directly and integrate your payments solution if you wish, such as a Pay Now button linked to your Stripe, PayPal or WePay account, and you can tick your invoicing off the list.

How do I start invoicing online?

Where do I begin?

How do my clients pay their graphic designer invoices online?

A merchant processor is also called a ‘payment gateway‘. After integrating a payment gateway with your Invoice Ninja account, your clients will see a “Pay Now” button on their invoices.

What is a Merchant Processor/ “Payment Gateway”

The ‘payment gateway’ processes your clients payment and your clients never leave their Invoice Ninja client-portal.

The payment gateway then deposits the money into your business bank account.

Invoice Ninja supports dozens of payment gateways, click here for the full list.
