A standee turns a flat illustration into something that stands on a desk, a shelf, or a convention table — a small, physical object instead of just a file on a screen. We print them on 3mm clear acrylic with UV-cured inks, laser-cut to your exact shape, with a matching acrylic base included so it actually stands up on its own. What you're getting 3mm thick clear acrylic, printed in full colour and precision cut in-house in Toronto. Every standee ships with a matching acrylic base for stability and a clean, polished display. Standard standees print on one side, with a mirrored image visible on the back — if you need artwork printed on both sides, contact us before ordering so we can review what that involves. A note on the finish UV-cured ink cures hard rather than soaking into the material like solvent ink does, which gives it a slightly textured, durable surface rather than a perfectly glass-smooth one. It's part of what makes the print so resistant to scratching and fading. If you're new to UV-printed acrylic, we'd recommend starting with a smaller batch first so you can see the finish in person before committing to a large run. Sizing and shape Both size and shape are fully customizable to match your artwork — we're not limited to a fixed template. Recommended file formats are AI, PDF, PSD, or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background. Who orders these Illustrators and character artists making merch for conventions, D&D and tabletop groups wanting standees of their characters, brands wanting a display piece more substantial than a flat print, and anyone turning a piece of art into something that can sit on a desk instead of living in a folder.
