Questions, answered
How does the aircraft print work? +
Upload one clear aircraft photo and pick one of five styles — blueprint, vintage poster, line drawing, watercolour or oil. The preview is free (three a day) and carries a watermark. When you order, the artwork is re-rendered at full gallery resolution — no watermark — and printed.
How does the airport-code print work? +
Type the airport code, the airport name and (optionally) the country and coordinates — you see the layout live before you order. Add the compass-rose backdrop or keep it plain. The print renders at full print resolution from the same layout you previewed.
What photo should I use? +
A clear, well-lit shot with the aircraft as the subject — static displays, airshow passes and apron shots all work. A 12-megapixel phone photo comfortably covers A3 and usually A2. We measure your photo's pixels against each print size before you pay; below 150 dpi a print looks soft, so we don't sell it.
Will the printed artwork look like the preview? +
Yes — the final render uses the same style instructions as your preview, at much higher resolution. Small details may differ slightly because the artwork is regenerated, but the style and composition match the preview. If the artwork is clearly wrong, you get one free regeneration within 24 hours.
What sizes and formats can I order? +
Posters from A4 to 60×80cm, framed prints in black, white or oak, canvas, brushed-aluminium metal, wood prints, mugs, tees, totes, phone cases and bottles. Every price includes UK delivery.
How long does delivery take? +
Each piece is made to order in the UK: production takes 2–4 working days, then delivery 2–5 working days. Most UK orders arrive within a week. Ordering for a birthday or Christmas? Order a week and a half ahead to be safe.
What do you do with my uploaded photos? +
Uploads are used only to produce your preview and your print. Unpurchased uploads are deleted automatically after 30 days; previews after 2 days. We never use your photos for anything else.
Can I return a personalised gift? +
If your order arrives damaged or wrong, we reprint or refund — photos within 30 days to orders@aviation-gifts.com. Because personalised items are made to your specification, the usual 14-day cancellation right doesn't apply once production starts (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, reg 28(1)(b)) — but if the artwork is clearly wrong, you get one free regeneration within 24 hours.
