Our art prints are available either on aluminum metal or on archival-quality art paper, depending on the product you choose.

Yes, our aluminum metal signs are durable and suitable for outdoor use, as aluminum is rust-resistant and made to handle different weather conditions.

Products like tumblers, compact mirrors, necklaces, and keychains are made from durable materials designed for everyday use.

However, art prints on archival paper and greeting cards are intended for indoor use to preserve their quality and appearance.

Our products are designed to be both beautiful and easy to care for.

Metal signs and metal art prints can be displayed indoors or outdoors and can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth if needed. Our metal signs (9×12, 12×18, 16×24, 3×12, 6×24, and 4×18) come with pre-drilled holes for easy hanging. Metal art prints include Command™ strips for simple, damage-free wall mounting.

Art prints on archival paper are best displayed indoors and ideally framed to help protect them over time.

Items such as tumblers, compact mirrors, necklaces, keychains, mousepads, coasters, and Christmas ornaments are designed for everyday use and can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth. For best results, we recommend hand washing tumblers rather than using a dishwasher to help preserve the design and finish.
