Custom Photo Plates for Homes, Restaurants & Corporate Branding
A favourite photograph deserves more than a place on your phone.
Turn a family photograph, a shared memory or your own artwork into a custom porcelain photo plate. Create one personal gift for a friendship, wedding or anniversary—or a collection for an occasion worth remembering. Your design is printed and kiln-fired in Canada.
One plate. A personal story.
The friendship plate shown here is one example of what a personal image can become. Bring us a favourite photo, a meaningful date or words you want someone to keep. We can discuss how they fit on the plate.
One special piece is welcome. You don’t need to place a bulk order or know which plate to choose before contacting us.

Questions before ordering a personalised photo plate
Can I order just one photo plate?
Yes. We accept single-piece orders as well as larger quantities. Tell us whether you’re creating one gift, a matching pair or plates for a group.
Which photograph should I send?
Send the clearest original image you have, rather than a screenshot or a compressed copy. If it’s an older family photograph or you’re unsure about its quality, email it to us so we can discuss what’s practical before you order.
Will the colours match my screen exactly?
We work to get close to your artwork, but screen colours and fired ceramic colours can differ. An exact colour match is not guaranteed. For a larger order or a colour-sensitive project, ask about a paid kiln-fired prototype on the actual porcelain.
What affects the cost?
The plate style and size, quantity, print coverage, artwork preparation and delivery requirements all affect the quote. Printing only the centre is a different job from covering the centre and rim. Tell us your idea and we can explain the options without asking you to choose everything first.
Can you make it for my event or gift date?
Tell us your required arrival date and delivery location before ordering. We’ll discuss production and shipping timing for your project. For a close deadline, ask about rush production; availability must be confirmed.
Where can the photo or message go?
Depending on the plate, we can discuss the centre, rim or back. The examples below show different layouts. Plate shape and the transition between centre and rim affect the printable area, so we’ll help you choose a suitable layout.

Same photo right and left. Right is zoomed in... see how the print makes a big difference!
Here is an example of where and how it looks on a dinner plate. Plates come in various sizes. On the left is a complete print, there is a small gap of white on what we call the "inner rim", this area can't be printed on. This area is different widths on different plates. On the right is the same image on the "face of the plate" or middle of the plate only. These plates are 100% food safe and dishwasher & microwave safe
A note on main printing areas for photo plates:
Below you can see plates primarily for restaurants or hotels or business. We printed custom logos on these plates both rim printing and face printing. Face printing is the middle of the plate (obviously where the food would go) and then you have top rim, bottom rim, right rim and left rim.
Basically its face printed, rim printed or entire plate covered
Most restaurants and hotels and business that want plates printing, mostly like 80% or more, ONLY print on the rim of the plate and never the face. Now we do both as you can see, but why do they print on the rim only?
Although you can print anywhere but if you are a restaurant or hotel, here are 3 reasons why you may want to only print on the rim.
- This is the main reason, for instance, they dont want stuck food and gravy, really messy, now covering their logo. Even if the plate is covered in food or scraps/left-overs the printed restaurant logo always looks good!
- When you stack the plates like as 12 inch charger below the 10.5 inch dinner plate, you can see the logos match up on top of each other. Note we make the logos sized so that the printed logo is smaller say on a dessert plate then on the dinner plate.
- Lastly, although the print is under glaze thus very durable, it does by logic mean that it would last even longer because its not touched as much and definitely not used like it would on the face of the plate.
Printed On The Face (middle) or Rim, and not only English but other languages as well.
Remember MOST restaurants and hotels print their logo on the rim of the plates, because they dont want to see their logo "messy" with food or sauce/gravy etc.
People have asked us to print in different languages. Surprisingly, we can do it, we can print their photo plates in their tongue of choice but it is still tricky to do. Whenever we print in a strange language (to us) we dont know exactly what we are printing, the meaning is lost. But if you give us the text or artwork we will copy and paste it into our printing system and it comes out on the other side amazing and we glaze it, with either one coating of glazing or two for more commercial applications. We also double glaze floor tile see our custom printed logos on floor tiles and pictured tile for floor murals.
On this page, link to:Our Plates Were Thoroughly Tested By A 3rd Party Lab
We've also had our printed plates tested for lead and cadmium which sadly some foreign countries in places use. Lead is a stabilizer of color/colour and greatly helps with printing - but of course not good for dishware or the environment...and sadly we know it dangerous to your health.
Because we have no heavy metals in our print our plates are perfectly safe to eat off. Also because your image is under the glaze it is dishwasher and microwave safe.
Your Logo or Branding Printed On The Back Of Plates

Custom Dinner Plates we made for Battalion Restaurant In San Antonio Texas
Printing your Photo Plate on the face only (middle) would be obviously less money to print, otherwise if you print the entire plate, it would obviously cost more.
Here is the same picture printed on the right, on the "face of the plate" only (or middle of plate). Without rim being printed. They (Battalion Restaurant) were thinking about going this way, but decided to go the face & rim.
We created for Battalion Restaurant in San Antonio Texas (you should check them out, they are a very popular spot in San Antonio with delicious food.
They supplied these images, and we printed them on rimmed porcelain plates in black and white. We don't charge for color, (we say colour here) but if you want black on white we can print it.
These are restaurant porcelain plates with the design on the face and rim. There is a small "gap" between the face & rim where we can't print.
There were 5 plates in all, these were the most popular 3.
The Battalion Restaurant is a very unique place, because they converted it from a historic fire station, and made it a fine dining restaurant.
Thus the old fashioned ladder truck on the wall photograph.
Our printed custom dinner plates, made the way and printed the way they wanted with their photograph they provided.
Each printed plate on a place setting for the restaurant.
