Personalised poster and print gifts

A photo, a drawing or a design, printed on 240gsm giclée paper and delivered tracked, framed and ready to hang if you like. Add a message and it goes in the box on a slip; nothing in the parcel says what it cost.

The perfect present for any occasion

A birthday, Christmas, a housewarming, an anniversary, or no reason at all: a print of something that matters to them is the personalised present that gets kept, and it arrives framed, finished and on time.

IDEAS

What to print for any occasion

The print gifts that land are the ones nobody else could have given: a photo they're in, a drawing their child made, a place that means something to them. A few that work every time:

  • A photo of the two of you, framed, for an anniversary or a first home
  • A child's drawing printed big and framed, for a grandparent
  • The dog, the cat, the horse, at A3 in an Oak frame
  • A holiday photo at A2 for the wall it reminds them of
  • A piece of art they bought as a download and never got round to printing
  • A set of three small prints for a gallery wall, 20% off when they go to one address

Anything you own or have the right to print works: your photos, your family's artwork, downloads you've bought. We print what you upload, so take a second on the preview before you confirm.

How long it takes

In the UK, prints ordered before 3pm on a working day are dispatched the same day and usually arrive two to three working days later, tracked. Framed prints take one to three working days to make first. For a date, a week ahead is comfortable for a print and ten days for a frame. Outside the UK, production and delivery times are on the page for your country.

WHY PRINTSHRIMP

A gift that looks like you tried

240gsm giclée printing

Heavyweight archival paper and giclée-quality printing on every order. Thick enough to feel, sharp enough to frame.

Printed and posted in days

UK orders placed before 3pm on a working day are dispatched the same day. Framed prints are made in 1 to 3 working days. Tracked all the way, with the number sent to you, not them.

A fraction of a framer's price

We print for thousands of sellers, so a framed print costs a fraction of what a framer charges, and three or more prints to one address are 20% off.

Rated 4.8 on Trustpilot

Over 5,000 sellers and 250,000 prints delivered. The same paper, presses and frames are yours for a single poster.

THE PAPER

Paper you can feel

Every poster is printed on 240gsm archival paper, FSC-certified, with giclée-quality inks. It's the paper our sellers get rave reviews for, and it's the same for a single print as for a thousand. Three finishes, all the same price.

Gloss
Bold, vibrant colours with a reflective shine. The one for photos.
Satin
Smooth, subtle sheen with minimal glare. Lifts colour without the shine.
Matte
Classic flat finish, no reflections. The choice for art prints and anything behind glass.
FRAMING

Framed, so there's nothing left for them to do

Black, White or Oak pine, 20–25mm deep, glazed with shatter-resistant plexiglass, hanging kit in the box. Printed matte so there's no glare behind the glass. Most sizes up to A1.

Black frame

A smooth black finish. Pine, 20–25mm deep, with 1–2mm shatter-resistant plexiglass.

Oak frame

A natural oak finish. Corner-protected in transit and delivered with the hanging kit in the box.

White frame

A clean white frame. Printed matte so there's no glare behind the glass, ready to hang the moment it arrives.

A message in the box
Write it in the basket before you pay. It's printed on a slip and goes in with the print, so the gift explains itself.
No prices, no branding
Nothing in the parcel says what it cost or where it was ordered from. The tracking and receipt come to your email, not theirs.
Packed to arrive perfect
Prints rolled in heavy-duty tubes or shipped flat; framed prints corner-protected and boxed. Damaged in transit? We reprint and resend free.
HOW IT WORKS

Done in minutes

No shop, no framer, no wrapping. Choose, upload, add a message, and it's on its way.

Choose a size

A5 to A0, 5x7 to 28x40 inches and squares. Pick the one that suits the shape of your image; the crop frame changes to match it.

Upload and crop

Drop in a photo, a design or a print file, move the crop until it looks right, and what you see is what prints. Add a finish, or a Black, White or Oak frame.

Add a message

Write it in the basket before you pay. It's printed on a slip and packed with the print; leave it blank and the parcel goes out with nothing in it but the gift.

Delivered to them

Their address at checkout, yours as the buyer. Tracked, delivery included, in a plain tube or box, ready for the wall.

REVIEWS

What people say about our prints

Rated 4.8 on Trustpilot by the sellers whose customers see our prints every day.

Joe, Trustpilot

"I looked around and found PrintShrimp and so far it has been amazing. My customers are now leaving reviews because the print quality is so good. Just today a customer messaged me a print she received elsewhere and one from PrintShrimp because she was so amazed by the difference."

Chloe Mitchell, Trustpilot

"Affordable prices and quality prints. I've had raving reviews about the quality of the posters I've had sent out and how quickly they're delivered. The owners have been top notch and always so helpful."

Tina, Trustpilot

"Excellent service and paper quality. Quick replies to any questions I have. Customers often comment on the excellent quality of their poster paper."

Gift questions

Can I send it straight to them?

Yes. Their address at checkout, your details as the buyer. The confirmation and tracking come to you; the parcel goes to them.

Does anything in the parcel show the price?

No. There's no invoice, no receipt and no PrintShrimp branding in the box; just the print, and your message if you've written one.

How does the message work?

Write it in the basket before you pay. It's printed on a slip and packed with the print. Sign it or don't; leave it blank and nothing goes in.

Which frame if I don't know their walls?

Black. It suits almost every room and almost every image. Oak if the photo is warm, White if you know the room is bright and modern.

Choosing a print as a gift

Start with the image, not the size. The photo should be about them, not you: them in it, something they made, somewhere they love. A photo they've seen a hundred times on a phone is a different thing at A3 on a wall, and that's the gift. If it's a photo someone sent you, ask for the original rather than the copy from a messaging app, which will have been shrunk.

Then size and frame. A3 framed is the safe present: big enough to hang, small enough to go anywhere, and it arrives finished. A2 is for when you know the wall. A4 or 8x10 suits a desk or a shelf. Framed beats unframed as a gift almost every time, because nobody has to do anything with it; unframed is for someone who already has a frame or a wall of them.

Last, timing. A week ahead for a print, ten days for a frame, in the UK; longer elsewhere. If you're tight, order unframed, which leaves the same day, and let them choose the frame.
