-
Reviewing the Artwork Preview: Carefully review the artwork preview before placing your order.
-
Artwork Placement: Pay close attention to how the artwork is positioned within the template, as elements near the edges of the circle are likely to be trimmed during production. Please see Section 4 for details.
-

4. Artwork and Production
We provided detailed guidance to all project hosts (e.g., schools, nurseries, or clubs) to ensure artwork submissions meet production requirements. These guidelines were also included on the back of the artwork template, and participants were advised:
-
To keep important elements of the artwork away from the edges of the template to avoid trimming during production.
-
About the location of the ribbon hole and how it might obscure or affect some parts of the artwork.
-
On suitable materials and methods to create artwork for the best reproduction results.
Every effort has been made to provide clear and detailed instructions, ensuring participants have the guidance needed to create artwork that preserves important details and minimises the risk of being lost or affected during the production process. Cwmni Pot-inc cannot be held responsible for issues arising from failure to follow these guidelines.
-
Image Clarity: Please be aware that the process of transferring a child’s artwork to ceramic involves a change in medium. While we strive for the best possible reproduction, some slight loss of detail or clarity in the final image may occur due to the nature of the transfer process. This is considered normal and is not a defect.
-
Colour Variations: Minor variations in colour may occur between the original artwork, the scanned image, the online preview, and the final printed product. These differences are due to screen displays, scanning, and the printing process itself. Such variations are normal and are not considered defects.
-
Artwork Placement and Trimming: Artwork elements near or along the inside edge of the template may be trimmed during production.
-
Ribbon Hole: Any artwork affected by the location of the ribbon hole is necessary to produce the ornament.
-
Production Time: Please allow approximately 14 days to produce your personalised ornament.
By placing an order, you confirm that you understand and accept these production guidelines.
