Your Photo as a Charcoal Sketch | Customised Hard Surface Patch

For anyone you want to keep close: Maa, Papa, your partner, your kids, your best friend or even your pet. A sketch of their photo makes a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, an anniversary or a birthday.

Yes. A soft pencil or charcoal sketch of someone who has passed away is a gentle way to keep them with you every day, on your phone, diary or laptop.

Our sketch tool turns your photo into a pencil and charcoal style drawing right on this page, with outlines and shading. Tap Try another style to redraw it in a new style (pencil, bold charcoal, cross-hatch or soft shading) with fresh strokes, as many times as you like. The preview you see is exactly what we print.

A clear photo where the face is well lit and fills a good part of the picture. Plain or blurry backgrounds give the cleanest sketch. Use Adjust crop to frame the face.

The sketch artwork adds 10% to our regular photo patch price. The final price is shown next to the size you pick, before you add to cart.

The size you pick is the height of the sketch. 3 inches fits the back of most phones and phone covers. 4 to 6 inches suit laptops, tablets, bottles and diaries.

Yes, your sketch is printed on a cream background with rounded corners, exactly as you see it in the preview, so it stands out on any colour of phone, laptop or bottle.

Upload the clearest, highest quality photo you have. The sharper the photo, the sharper your patch. Photos straight from your phone camera work best; screenshots and forwarded WhatsApp photos can look soft when printed.

Yes. Slap-Ons are waterproof and designed to handle regular washing and daily use.

They won’t fade, peel, or lose their glossy finish when applied correctly on smooth hard surfaces.

For best durability:

• Avoid scrubbing directly with sharp objects

• Hand wash preferred for bottles

• Do not soak for long hours

Once properly applied, they stay put.

Yes, they’re scratch-resistant and made for everyday use.

The raised glossy finish can handle normal friction from bags, hands, desks, and regular handling without peeling or fading.

However, sharp objects or aggressive scraping can damage the surface - so treat them like any premium printed finish.

• Clean the surface
  Make sure it’s dry, dust-free and oil-free.
  
• Peel the design with the transparent film
  Lift it gently from the base sheet.
  
• Place & press firmly
  Apply pressure evenly for 10-15 seconds.
  
• Slowly peel off the top film
  Your design stays. Glossy. Raised. Done.

Slap-Ons work best on smooth, hard surfaces like:

• Water bottles & tumblers

• Laptops & iPads

• Phone cases

• Glass jars & mirrors

• Metal boxes & containers

• Acrylic surfaces

• Helmets

• Ceramic mugs

As long as the surface is flat, clean, and non-textured - you’re good to go.

Avoid rough, rubbery, or fabric surfaces.

Slap-Ons are not regular stickers.

Unlike paper or vinyl stickers that sit flat and often show visible borders, Slap-Ons create a raised, glossy 3D finish with no background edges.

That means:

• No white or transparent sticker outline

• No flimsy paper layer

• No dull, flat print

• Stronger adhesion on hard surfaces

• Waterproof & scratch-resistant finish

They look printed directly on the surface - not stuck on.
