A ceramic photo overlay is a coloured, glazed ceramic image of a photo or image that is fixed to the face of a design. Ceramic photos are available in specific sizes only and are oval or rectangular shaped. A ceramic photo overlay has a partially domed face with a maximum thickness of approximately 8mm. The edges are smooth and rounded.
During the manufacturing process ceramic photo overlays are fired at 1000 degrees centigrade and have an anticipated life exceeding 100 years.
You can choose the shape and size of your ceramic photo from those available on the Forever Shining website. You can upload your image onto the ceramic photo via the Forever Shining website. You can also choose the location and orientation of the ceramic photo on your design.

Ensure that only good quality images (jpg or hard copy) are supplied to us together with any special instructions, e.g. "Remove background". We cannot produce a good quality image on our product if we are supplied with a poor quality image to start with. Furthermore, the file size of the electronic image supplied is dependent on the physical size of the image required. If the finished image size is approximately 100mm x 100mm a file size in the range 500kb to 1mb is usually satisfactory. If the finished image size is more like 180mm x 240mm a file size in the range of 2mb to 3mb is usually required. If a suitably sized electronic image is not available for production purposes, please supply us with a good quality hard copy photo which we can scan into our system. The hard copy photo can be returned with the finished product.
Photos of copyright or trade mark images will require written permission from the owner of the copyright or trademark.
