Custom Ornaments With Your Photo or Name

Custom Ornaments With Your Photo or Name — common questions

Can a custom ornament be printed on both sides?

Yes. Several ceramic ornaments, and some aluminum ones, carry the design on both faces, so the ornament reads from every angle on the tree, while the one-sided versions leave the back plain. Some double-sided ceramic styles take a different design on each face.

Which ornament material suits a family photograph?

Ceramic, acrylic, glass and metal ornaments all take a full-colour photo. The engraved crystal glass and leatherette ornaments are the exception: engraving reproduces a picture in one tone, so keep those for a name, a year or a short line.

What does custom-cut mean on an acrylic ornament?

A custom-cut ornament is cut to a shape of its own instead of a stock circle or star, so its edge can follow the outline of your design. Leave a little background around the subject so the cut does not clip an ear, a hand or a letter.

Can ornaments be ordered for a whole family or a party?

Yes. The same ornament can be ordered for every guest, which suits party favours, a class gift or one ornament for every household in the family.

How does a design sit on the vintage ceramic ball ornament?

The vintage ceramic ball is the ball-shaped ornament on this shelf, with a bell or tree decoration on the back, so a design curves with its surface. A name, a year or a small motif reads well on it; a wide photograph is better on one of the flat-faced ornaments, such as ceramic, acrylic or aluminum.
