How Custom Pet Photo Products Are Prepared and Made

Direct answer: A custom pet photo product begins when the customer selects the available options and uploads an image. WePrintMe may crop, position and make basic background adjustments so the submitted image fits the selected design. The item is then made to order, dispatched from China and followed by an emailed tracking link.
