Turn Your Favorite Image into an Interactive Keepsake

Custom photo puzzles offer an entertaining way to revisit meaningful photographs and creative designs. Instead of displaying an image only on a wall or screen, you can rebuild it piece by piece and enjoy it as an activity.

Upload a family portrait, wedding photograph, vacation image, pet picture, children’s artwork, digital illustration, collage, company logo, or promotional design. The finished puzzle can become a memorable gift, family activity, educational resource, retail product, or branded giveaway.

Regular Photo Puzzle Options

Regular puzzles offer several sizes and difficulty levels for older children, teens, and adults.

Choose the 110-piece puzzle for a shorter activity or select one of the higher piece counts for a longer and more detailed challenge. Larger puzzles can display more visual detail when the uploaded image has sufficient resolution.

Children’s Photo Puzzle Options

Children’s puzzles feature fewer, thicker pieces that are easier for small hands to pick up, position, and assemble.

The children’s puzzle format is twice as thick as the regular puzzle format. Choose the appropriate size and piece count based on the child’s age, coordination, experience, and intended level of difficulty.

Adult supervision is recommended when appropriate. Puzzle pieces may present a choking hazard to young children.

Crystal White Recycled Card Stock

Each puzzle is produced using Crystal White recycled card stock. Its bright printing surface supports vibrant color, image contrast, and visible photographic detail.

The card stock provides enough structure for repeated assembly under normal use, while its recycled composition offers a more resource-conscious alternative for personalized entertainment and gift products.

Vibrant Glossy Finish

A glossy finish gives the completed puzzle a bright, polished appearance. It enhances color saturation and helps photographs and artwork appear more vivid.

The finish also helps protect the printed surface against light scratching, handling, and fading during normal use. Handle the pieces with clean, dry hands and store them in the included box when the puzzle is not in use.

Full-Color Custom Printing

Your supplied image is reproduced across the completed puzzle surface. Suitable artwork includes:

• Family and personal photographs

• Wedding and anniversary pictures

• Vacation and travel images

• Pet photographs

• Baby and childhood pictures

• Children’s drawings and school artwork

• Digital illustrations

• Original paintings and photography

• Company logos and branded graphics

• Team and school designs

• Holiday and seasonal artwork

• Memorial and commemorative images

• Collages and promotional designs

Upload the original high-resolution file whenever possible. Small, blurry, compressed, or enlarged images may produce less detailed printing.

Chipboard Storage Box Included

Every puzzle arrives unassembled in a chipboard box. The completed puzzle image is printed on the box top, providing a convenient visual guide during assembly.

The box keeps the pieces organized between uses and creates a presentable package for gifting, storage, retail display, promotional distribution, or customer delivery.

Safety and Product Standards

The puzzle materials are CPSIA tested and USA qualified. Select a puzzle configuration appropriate for the intended user and provide adult supervision when needed.

Keep small pieces away from babies and young children. The customer is responsible for choosing an age-appropriate puzzle size and piece count.

Artwork and Print-Ready File Instructions

Upload Your File

If your design is print-ready, upload it when placing your order.

Bleed

Include 0.125" bleed on all sides where required. Extend backgrounds and full-bleed images beyond the finished trim line to avoid unintended white edges.

Safe Area

Keep faces, text, logos, borders, and other important content safely inside the trim area. Avoid placing critical details directly along the outer edges.

Puzzle-piece cut lines will pass through portions of the design. Do not position small text or essential information where minor interruptions would make it difficult to understand.
