About PrintCraftMan

PrintCraftMan is a small family-run custom gift workshop in San Leandro, California. Founded by Ariel in 2022, our 5 person team UV prints acrylic plaques, laser engraves wood signs, hand illustrates pet portraits, and crafts personalized photo gifts on equipment we run ourselves. Every order is opened by a designer, color-checked, photo-restored if needed, hand-finished, and packed by a real person before it ships.

We are not a print farm and we do not dropship. Production happens in our workshop on Harbor Way, and customers get a digital proof for review with unlimited revisions before anything is printed.

Founder
