About Printing On Plates

Made from solid and sturdy Bone china, your custom dinner plates are a thing of beauty. Available in three sizes: 16.5cm (6.5 inches), 20.5 cm (8 inches) or 26.3cm (10.3 inches), customised dinner plates are handmade to order and printed with a specialist method that ensures a crisp and vibrant, long-lasting finish, easy to clean with a smooth, shiny surface. You can design your own plate as decor, or if you love to host dinner parties, why not create a set of personalised dinner plates? Our small and medium bespoke china plates are available in sets of 2, 4 and 8, while our larger bespoke china plates are available in sets of 3 and 7. Your guests will be beyond impressed with your creative flair. Ideal to use as an ornament, our custom-printed plates feature a classic design of a wide lip with a smooth shallow depression. The colours in your custom china plate artwork are depicted in all of their glory, with boldness and definition. Designs are printed onto the front of the personalised china plate, while the back is kept clean and neutral; the perfect contrast.

Each plate is available on its own or optionally with a folding black plastic stand or an 'invisible' wall hanger that makes displaying it a doddle.

How Printing On Plates Works

It all starts with your design. Once they are uploaded onto our interface, the production process begins. Our specialist plate printing method ensures that your designs are reproduced to the highest quality, in a print that will last. This digital printing method will keep your art looking its best for years to come, as long as the care instructions are followed. Because the base tone is a brilliant white, colours look even more vibrant and beautiful.

Design Tips

Your designs are printed edge to edge in stunning HD quality. Because of this, you have quite a large surface area to print on. Opt for a single, statement design that will jump off of the plate. You could also opt for a collage of several images and even add typography for a truly unique finish for your custom dinner plates.

A few things you can do to ensure your plate looks perfect: 

1. When designing your plate, please make sure your image fills the whole space (including the red bleed area). This ensures your design covers the entire plate and doesn’t leave unprinted white edges. 
2. Because of how we print, there might be a +/- 2-3% difference in the plate’s positioning from what you see in our preview, so avoid putting important details close to the plate’s rim. 
3. Avoid putting circular patterns in your design close to the edge of the plate, as we cannot guarantee they will line up perfectly with the outer rim of the plate.
