How we create your product

Once we received your artwork, we catalogue it against your order number. If you have sent hard copies of your artwork, we photograph each piece in our studio which is is setup to allow us to capture well lit, high resolution images of both flat and 3D artworks and up to a size that accommodates extra large items.
If you email us the images, we import them in to your graphic file. Once all of the artwork has been captured and imported, our designers then use those images and place them over themed backgrounds or on to selected products to create a stunningly beautiful and unique keepsake to celebrate and cherish forever.
