The product
Our slates are made from natural slate stone — the same material used in traditional roofing. Each piece has hand-chipped edges, meaning no two slates are ever identical. They're heavy, permanent, and beautiful.
Any size works — our system handles the rest. For best results, use a clear, well-lit photo where your pet's face is visible and not obscured by shadows or other objects. A higher resolution photo will produce a crisper print.
We use high-resolution sublimation printing directly onto the slate surface. The result is a vibrant, permanent print that won't peel or fade. If you're unsure about your photo quality, email us before ordering — we're happy to advise.
Yes — every slate comes with a small display stand included in the price, so it's ready to display straight out of the box.
Simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to water. The print is permanent and won't be affected by gentle cleaning.
