For the best results, we recommend using a high-quality art paper with a weight of 60–70#. Standard copy paper is a no-go—it’s too thin, and anything on the back may show through on the final product..

Important Note for Tile Wall Programs:
Tile orders require specific artwork sizes based on the tile size selected. Please reach out to your account manager before using substitute paper—we’ll guide you to the right dimensions so your students’ masterpieces turn out picture-perfect.

The short answer is yes. However, often construction paper will not reproduce true to color. Depending on the quality of the paper, blues can look purple, blacks can be green, etc.
If you use construction paper, please note that it will be at your own risk. We will not be able to process Fix-Its on orders for color corrections.

For the best results we recommend that you use a high-quality art paper with a paper weight of 60-70#.

Our products are designed for artwork created on 8½" x 11" paper to ensure proper placement and proportions. Using a different size throws everything off—we don’t crop or alter artwork to make it fit. Instead, any art submitted on the wrong size paper will be returned.

Tile Wall Exception:
If you're doing a tile wall, that’s the one time different paper sizes are needed—depending on the tile size you’ve selected. Just check with your account manager to make sure you’re using the right dimensions.

Based on federal regulations, we can’t accept any Trademark or Copyright images or logos. This includes brand names, emojis, video game or cartoon characters, stickers, cutout or torn pages from magazines and news print.

We encourage you to be creative! Please don’t send in pages torn from a coloring book.

Full bleed products are products where the artwork goes right to the edge of the product, and in some cases wraps around the edge. It is possible that anything within 1” from the edge of the original artwork could be cutoff on the final product . The colorful artwork should still go right to the edge of the 8 ½” X 11” paper, but we strongly suggest any important details (names, dates, heads etc.) a customer wants to see on the finished products be at least 1” away from the edge.

Products that are considered full bleed (image goes right to the edge and trimmed in production) in our current line include:

• Lens Cloth
• Ceramic Tile Trivet
• Mouse Pads
• All Ornaments
• Key Chains
• Matted Prints
• All Magnets
• Mini Art Easel
• Pendant Necklace

For Original Works’ full bleed products where the artwork image goes right to the edge of the product and in some cases wraps around the edge (like the purse mirrors), it is always possible (and likely) that anything within that 1” from edge range on the original artwork will be trimmed off. The colorful artwork should still go right to the edge of the 8 ½” X 11” paper, but we strongly suggest any important details a customer wants to see on the finished products be at least 1” away from the edge, or be made large enough (like a sun in the corner) to accommodate trimming.

We don't recommend this.  Please know that acetate will sometimes alter the colors visually because of how the scanner light hits the surface. 

If you do use it, please to be sure to firmly affix the laminations/acetate and ensure that it is cut to the correct size with no hang over.

3D objects first of all are not 3D when reproduced which can lead to disappointment. They often will lead to shadowing and become flattened during our production process.
Some common 3D objects include:

• Cotton balls
• Foam cutouts
• Wiggly eyes
• Feathers
• Yarn
