How your custom print is made

From a picture on your phone to solid colours in your hand, in four steps. Here's what happens at each one.

  1. 1. You design it

    Start from a template for a keychain, pet tag, coin, name plate, door sign or plaque, or from a blank shape. Type your text in any of over 200 fonts, upload a photo, logo or drawing, and choose up to 8 colours from our spools: most come in a light, a regular and a dark shade, plus gold, silver and clear. Everything can be moved, resized and recoloured.

  2. 2. You see the exact print

    As you design, we prepare a preview with the same process that makes the print file. Your picture is turned into solid colour regions matched to real spools, lines too fine to print are merged into their neighbours, and holes, outlines and borders are placed exactly. When you add it to your cart, we build the actual print file and price it from that.

  3. 3. The Maker Check

    After you order, the maker opens your design and its preview before anything prints. If a detail won't come out, a colour is out of stock, or a picture is too low-resolution, we'll email you with what we found and a link back to your design. Tweak it for free, or choose a full refund.

  4. 4. Printed and shipped

    Your print is made in solid plastic in up to eight colours, switching colours automatically as it builds. Designs with more colours take longer to print, which is why they can cost a little more. It's then inspected, packed in a padded mailer and shipped with Canada Post.

Three finishes

Flush inlays every colour level with the surface, smooth like a coin. Raised lifts the design about a millimetre so you can feel it. Stepped stacks each colour one step above the last, a layered look that prints fastest with many colours. Borders can be flush, a raised wall or a lowered moat.

What makes a good picture

Bold, simple pictures print best: clear shapes, distinct colours, a plain background. Photos become flat-colour graphics, a bit like a screen print. Our guides on preparing a logo and turning a drawing into a keychain go into detail.
