How it's made
No warehouse. UK press. Tube and tag.
A short note on what your order touches between "Buy" and "delivered." We don't carry stock — every print starts life the day after the order lands. It's slower than a same-day delivery, and a lot quieter.
- Press
- British production via our print partner — Wakefield or Royston, depending on order routing on the day.
- Paper
- FSC-certified mill stock. 200gsm coated silk for the standard print, 250gsm uncoated for archival.
- Colour
- You see sRGB on screen; the press prints in FOGRA39 CMYK. The conversion makes deep greens and oxblood reds sit a touch more muted on paper than they look on a backlit display. Worth knowing.
- Lead time
- 1–2 working days at the press, then Royal Mail Tracked 48 — typically 2–4 working days transit on the British mainland. We email tracking the moment it ships.
- Packaging
- Kraft mailing tube, parcel tag, no plastic. The tube is sized for the print, not for flat-pack convenience — there's a reason a rolled poster lays flatter than a folded one.
- If something's wrong
- Send a photo within 14 days and we reprint — see returns. Personalised goods are exempt from change-of-mind returns under UK CCR 2013.

Three more ways to keep her name.
A few common ones.
- Can I see a proof before it's printed?
- The live preview is the proof. What you see is what we print, with one caveat — print colours sit slightly more muted than screen because we convert to CMYK at the press. We won't email a separate proof.
- Can I personalise something other than a canal route?
- The "route" line takes any 60 characters. We've had everything from "the cut, anywhere" to "Llangollen and back twice." Type whatever the moment was.
- Returns?
- Personalised prints are made-to-order, so we can't accept returns for change of mind. If your print arrives damaged or wrong, email us a photo within 14 days and we'll reprint it. Full details on our returns page.
