bone china plates custom printed
Fine bone china plates custom printed for presentations & commemorations
Custom printed bone china plates decorated with full colour prints are ideal for anniversaries, publicity and promotions, award and competition prizes, conference awards, best restaurant and food awards as well as commemorating historical events and armed services anniversaries. These printed bone china plates are of high quality and can be printed in a variety of ways - the centre, centre and rim, as well as on the back with a special commemorative text and limited edition numbering. Scroll down for examples.
All of our work is produced in house using our artwork design suite, workshop production area with kilns, together with many years of experience in the ceramics industry all to produce ceramics of the highest quality.
Styles & sizes of plates
Two styles of plate are available, shoulder style - left which is a plate with a rim, and coupe - right,
without a rim.
Size diameters available are: 6”: 9”: 10.5" and 12”
The cross sections of each plate, top, the shoulder style and below, the coupe style.
Print positions on plates
The plates can be decorated in a variety of ways, centre only, centre and plus outer rim, and also with printing on the back in the form of historical or informative text and limited edition numbering. 22ct gold or platinum silver lines on the rims and edges is an additional option.
Historical and informative text on the back of the plate ensures that the memory of the event lives on through the ensuing years, and limited edition numbering lends extra value for the future collectors of memorabilia.
Artwork can be in the form of hand drawings to computer artwork and photos. Black and white, sepia or colour photographs can also be reproduced, and we can offer a comprehensive and competitive artwork service.
A minimum print run is usually 25 plates.
We can quote for fewer.

One-off plates
We are often asked if we produce one - off printed plates, or smaller print runs rather than the print runs of 25+ for which we normally quote. The answer is yes, but bear in mind that a one off and lower quantities carry the cost of the initial artwork (£35 - £55) and studio print set up (£45 - £55) before the cost of plate production, postage and VAT.
So if you wish to have a quote bear this in mind. Even though it may seem expensive, remember, what you will have are original and unique pieces.
Presentation boxes for plates
Presentation boxes are made to order, and can be foil blocked with a silver or gold leaf impressed logo.
They are available with various colours for the outer bindings and the internal platform can be in white or black. There are also single colour foil blocking options.
There is a one-off cost for the manufacture of a blocking die.
