A Modern Alternative to Traditional Framed Photos
Custom tabletop photo plaques offer a simple way to display personal photographs without purchasing a separate picture frame. Your image is printed on a rigid plaque with a smooth gloss-white surface, creating a contemporary presentation that works well with portraits, family photographs, artwork, logos, quotes, and commemorative designs.
The integrated easel allows the plaque to stand on a desk, shelf, mantel, reception counter, or display table. Its frameless construction keeps attention on the image and makes the finished piece easy to place throughout a home, office, studio, or commercial environment.

Artwork and Image Preparation
For the best reproduction quality:
-
Prepare the artwork at the selected finished size.
-
Use a resolution of approximately 300 DPI at full size whenever possible.
-
Submit clear, well-lit, high-resolution photographs.
-
Use CMYK color mode when preparing professional print artwork.
-
Keep important faces, text, logos, and design elements away from the trim edges.
-
Allow space for the rounded corners on the 5" × 5" plaque.
-
Match the artwork orientation to the intended portrait or landscape display.
