Frequently asked
Everything you might ask before ordering.
Photos, sizes, eye holes, invoices, postage and returns — all in one place. If your question isn't here, the studio is a message away.
Photos
Photos & artwork
What kind of photo should I send?+−
A clear, front-facing photo in good light. A phone snap is usually plenty — just stand in daylight and look straight at the camera. Hair included is fine: that's what makes the mask look like the person.
What happens if my photo isn't sharp enough?+−
We look at every photo before anything is printed. If it's too dark, blurry or cropped badly, we get in touch and ask for a better one — we'd rather wait a day than post something you're disappointed with.
Can every mask use a different face?+−
Yes. Send a different photo for each mask at no extra cost. Products that need several photos let you upload as many as you need in one go, and each one travels with your order.
Can I send a group photo?+−
Yes, as long as the face you want is clear. If you're cropping someone out of a bigger picture, send the largest version you have so we have as much detail as possible to print.
The products
Masks & props
What are the masks made from?+−
Thick card, printed in full colour and cut to shape. They're lightweight enough to wear all afternoon but sturdy enough to survive a party.
How big is each mask?+−
A standard mask is A4 with the hair included. There's a supersize A3 version for group photos — and for the joke of a giant head at the door.
Elastics, sticks or self-cut?+−
Three ways to have them: ready to wear with the elastic or stick already fitted, pre-cut with the fixings supplied for you to attach, or a DIY self-cut kit where you trim the outline yourself.
Do you punch eye holes?+−
If you want them, yes — choose eye holes on the product page and we punch them before posting. Choose no and you'll get the mask uncut, so you can line the eyes up yourself.
What else do you make?+−
Personalised party hats, bunting, bamboo and paper straws, cake toppers and table top cut-outs — all printed from your photos in the same studio.
Payment
Payment & invoices
How do I pay?+−
Nothing is taken when you check out. We check your photo, confirm the order, then email an invoice with your total including delivery. Once that's paid we print, cut and post.
Will I get an order reference?+−
Yes — every order gets a reference at checkout, and it's on both the confirmation and your invoice. Please quote it if you get in touch about the order.
How is the total worked out?+−
Each item's price plus the delivery option you picked in the cart. Both are shown before you submit the order, and the invoice matches it.
Can I pay by card or bank transfer?+−
Your invoice arrives with the payment details on it. If you need a different way to pay, tell us when you send your details and we'll sort something out.
Postage
Delivery
When will my order be posted?+−
Order by 2pm Monday to Friday and it's dispatched the same working day. Later orders, weekends and bank holidays go out on the next working day.
How much is delivery?+−
Postage is set per product and shown on the product page and in your cart, so you always see it before you order.
Which delivery services can I choose?+−
Depending on the item: InPost to your door (around 3–4 days), Royal Mail Tracked 48 (around 3–4 days) or Royal Mail Tracked 24, which is usually next day.
Can I change my delivery address?+−
Contact us straight away and we'll change it if the order hasn't been posted. Once it's on its way the address can't be changed.
My order hasn't arrived — what now?+−
Get in touch with your order reference and we'll chase it with the carrier. Damaged or missing items are always replaced.
After the order
Changes & returns
Can I return a personalised item?+−
Custom made items are printed from the photo and wording you supply, so they can't be resold or returned to stock. Your statutory rights still apply — faulty or damaged items are always put right.
Can I change or cancel my order?+−
If it hasn't been invoiced or printed yet, we can usually change a photo, a name or a quantity. Message us as soon as you know and we'll tell you where the order has got to.
Something arrived damaged.+−
Tell us with a photo of what turned up and we'll reprint and repost it — no argument.
Still stuck?
Send us the photo you're thinking of using and we'll tell you how it will print before you order.
