CORE DECORATION OPTIONS

Choose the effect first. Confirm the method second.

The right route depends on the selected product, artwork, coverage, intended use and care expectations. Compatibility is reviewed for each quotation rather than assumed across the whole catalog.

IMPRINT AREAS

Use the product page as the source of truth.

Each product page includes its supplied dimension guide and product-specific gallery. Artwork size and placement are reviewed against that item; we do not publish one generic print area for every glass.

ARTWORK CHECKLIST

Send files we can review without guessing.

  • Vector artwork is preferred when available.
  • Transparent PNG artwork can be reviewed for suitable print applications.
  • Include intended size, placement and color references.
  • Supply personalization data in a clean, final list.
  • Minimum detail and safe margins are confirmed for the selected product rather than stated as one generic number.
