These 4.25-inch or 6-inch square glossy or non-glossy (satin) ceramic tiles have cork pads underneath to prevent the tile from scratching against the table while in use.  The 4.25-inch tile may be used as a trivet for smaller dishes but it is also small enough to be used as a coaster, although we have the less expensive hardboard coasters (checkout the rest of our catalog).  We can imprint any square artwork into the tile.  Family crests make a good artwork for these tiles so check our our list of available family crests (click on available artwork and follow the links to family crests).  We can also use YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH as another form of personalization.  Just send us the photo; we will crop the picture into a square and we will make a trivet out of it.

It takes a good 8 to 10 minutes to print one of these tiles; that includes set up and heat press times so please consider that factor when making large orders.

SATIN (non-glossy) tiles require a minimum order of 12 tiles; we also require a lead time of 5 business days for SATIN tiles since we do not keep them in stock.  We order the parts only on an as needed basis.

OG0212-6x8 Ceramic Photo Tile

One idea for a photo tile is this example where we turned a very simple paper wedding invitation (left) into a keepsake photo tile.  We added a background with a faint picture of a wedding bouquet (we lightened it for this purpose).  We also darkened the lettering to make it more readable over the background picture.  The possibilities are unlimited; this idea can be used for baby birth announcements, engagement announcements, holy communion, confirmation, graduation, etc.

Of course, ANY picture can go into these 6x8 tiles; your photo, a pet's photo, a new baby, etc.  In the example below, a copy of an impressionistic painting was printed into the tiles.

Any ideas for a 6x8 tile?  Let us know and we will try to make it!

OG0217 Easel Back for Ceramic Tiles

For a nominal fee, we can glue an easel back onto your frameless 6x6 tile or 6x8 tile.  These backs are like those  used on picture frames.   They are made of strong thick cardboard and and are equipped with an eyelet hanger so that you may also hang the tile on the wall.  This is a less expensive alternative to costly wooden frames.

 

OG0218 Oak Coaster Rack (for 4.25 inch tiles)

Available for your 4.25 ceramic tiles is a 4-slot oak coaster rack.  The slots are wide enough to hold a corked 4.25 inch tile that is meant to be used as coaster.  This measures 4.25 inches and is heavy enough to hold the weight of 4 tiles.

OG0219-PHO Oak Photo Tile Stand

The photo tile stand shown features a slot that can hold a ceramic tile 6 inches wide...a more elegant alternative to an easel back.

The photo tile is not included but may be bought separately.
