Picsha Gifts: their photos on mugs, mousepads, puzzles and ornaments

Photo gifts are the sale most labs already know how to make and few can take online. Picsha Gifts, live today, is the storefront for it: your customer picks a gift, places their photos, and watches them appear on the mug before they pay.

The design step: three layout choices with 'A photo on each side' selected, the flat print with a beach photo at the left and a woodland photo at the right inside a dashed safe-margin line, and beside it the mug drawn from the front and from the back with those photos on it
The design step. On the left, the print laid flat. On the right, the same design on the mug. (The families are demos.)

Thirteen gifts at launch, in four families: mugs, a color-changing mug, a stainless tumbler and a pint glass; a mousepad and a desk mat; a magnet, a coaster, a jigsaw puzzle and a glass cutting board; and two ornaments, in time for the holidays. Customers can add words, a frame or a filter to a photo, or start from a blank canvas for words alone.

The details that matter to a lab:

  • Produce it yourself, or have it made. Sell a gift you press in your own shop, or one that is made and shipped to your customer for you, or both. A product you make yourself can name a stand-in, so orders keep moving when your press is down or you are away.
  • It starts with your blank. Two shops' "11oz mug" are different objects. Enter yours from a ruler and the storefront draws it, pictures and all, from those numbers.
  • A file made for your press. One file per design at the exact print size, mirrored if you press transfers face down, with the bleed you asked for. A test sheet proves the size before you sell one.
  • Straight into Photogize Lab. If you run Lab, paid orders land in your harvest queue with the file for the press, like your kiosk and web orders.

Gifts is the sixth Picsha storefront, alongside Retouch, Books, Prints, Cards, and Posters. Same model as the others: your brand, your address, your prices, free to set up, and Graphx earns only when you sell.
