Plate design ideas
Take advantage of full colour plate printing and choose a single image to fill the surface of the plate, or create a beautiful photo collage featuring all your much-loved snaps. These china plates are perfect for all over printing, and this style of printing works best rather than an image placed in the middle. Printed in full colour, edge-to-edge, you can really make a statement on your dining table. Because our plate printing technique is designed to fill the surface area, if you've tried to place your image in the centre, we cannot always guarantee it will be perfectly in the middle. So have fun designing a collage or bold graphic plate that's full of colour and personality.
Handy Tip: Select pictures or create repeat pattern and avoid trying to centre a design or add text close to or all around the edges. Due to our printing method there will be on average +/- 10% difference in positioning of your design.
Bleed Area
When you are creating your personalised small plate, please take note of the bleed area within the design interface. You need to ensure that your image fills the whole area, otherwise, you will end up with uneven white edges and you will find that your final print is likely to be off-centre.
Family photo plates
To make your dining table fun for everyone, design custom plates for all the family featuring their name and photo. This way, you’re all sharing a fun experience as well as dining together. For might also encourage the little ones to help serve dinner - they can bring out the bread rolls on their very own photo plate.
Matching kitchenware
Sometimes finding the right ceramic plates to match your home décor can be tough, so why not design your own? Choose a shabby chic design to match your bohemian style, or print a loud pattern to complement your kitsch dining room. Whatever your style, custom print your own photo plates and express your personality!
Personalised plate gifts
They’re not just great for the table though. As a decorative plate, or photo gift, why not print an important question you want to ask a friend or loved one. I.e. ‘Will You Be Our Baby’s Godmother?’ or ‘Will You Be My Maid of Honour?’. Not only will they be thrilled at the idea but they also have a special photo plate to remember the moment.
