Custom Personalized Gifts, Handcrafted in San Leandro, California
PrintCraftMan is a family-owned workshop where your photos, names, and memories become one-of-a-kind gifts. Every custom pet portrait, engraved keepsake, and acrylic plaque leaves our San Leandro studio made by hand—never mass-produced, never generated by AI.
How It Started
I'm Ariel, and I started PrintCraftMan after watching my youngest son turn a simple photo of himself into a superhero drawing. That moment stuck with me: a picture can become something more when you add a personal touch. In 2023 I set up a small workshop, bought a UV printer and a laser engraver, and began turning customer photos into custom artwork. Two years and thousands of happy customers later, we are still a small team doing the same thing—making each piece by hand, one order at a time.
What We Make
We create custom personalized gifts for every occasion and every person on your list:
- Pet Portraits — Watercolor, realistic, and cartoon styles on canvas and acrylic
- Acrylic Plaques with LED Base — Custom portraits and Spotify song art that glow
- Engraved Gifts — Laser-cut keychains, wooden birth signs, bamboo hair brushes, and cutting boards
- Photo Keepsakes — Ceramic mugs, car visor clips, Christmas ornaments, and photo posters
- Seasonal Decor — Thanksgiving place cards, wooden ornament sets, and aluminum wall art
Every item is made to order in our California workshop using premium materials: Baltic Birch wood, museum-quality acrylic, BPA-free ceramic, and stainless steel.
How We Work
Our process is simple. You upload a photo and tell us what you want. Our artists hand-draw your portrait or our machines laser-engrave your design. We send you a proof for approval before printing. Most orders ship within 3 to 5 business days, and we offer free design revisions until you are completely satisfied.
