In: Glass Prints. Out: Keeping Pictures in Your Camera Roll.
It’s 2023, which means by now, nearly all of our photos live in our camera roll… or on Instagram. And that’s great, we love Instagram, but there’s something so special about seeing your photos in person.
Unfortunately, it’s not common that we have physical prints of our pics, and these days it’s hard to find somewhere that perfectly prints our pictures and makes them look just as good (if not better) than our digital images.
That’s why we HAVE to introduce you to glass prints.
Fracture is our one-stop-shop for glass prints (no, seriously, our whole office is covered in them). While we could have easily printed out a bunch of low-fi pics at a drugstore and popped them into clunky frames from Amazon, there is something about these glass prints that absolutely blows traditional photo paper out the water.
Fracture Is Basically the Apple of Photo Decor
Fracture turns your cherished memories and digital images into stunning pieces of art. Founded on the idea that traditional photo printing methods were in need of a modern upgrade, Fracture has redefined the way we display and appreciate our most precious moments. Here’s 5 reasons why we love Fracture (and why you will, too):
1. Each Print is Hand-Crafted and Durable AF
We know what you’re thinking: glass prints?! Won’t they just break?
And we get the hesitation, but one thing we know about Fracture is that their glass prints are so durable, they’ll be around longer than your iPhone will. Each print is made-to-order with a 2mm-thick soda lime glass—which is known for its longevity and durability.
Every order is cut, hand-prepared, and inspected by their in-house team. They really make the effort to ensure that what you ordered comes out perfect (and it always does).
2. They Have Style Options for Everyone
Fracture has print options for any space. They offer 8 different sizes for individual Glass Prints ranging in price from $19-$145. These individual easy-hang prints can be hung up on a wall, displayed on your mantle, or propped up by a stand on your side tables.
They also offer Photo Walls ranging from $120-$319, each with 3-5 prints and different layouts curated by their in-house team. These are easy-peasy to set up because Fracture provides a template for hanging them up exactly how they look on the website. All you do is choose a layout, upload your photos, and they’ll deliver your Photo Wall ready to hang.
3. Prints So Crisp, They Look Like HDTV
Considering how many Fracture prints we have hanging in the office, we know a thing or two about their image quality (spoiler alert: it’s amazing). Every print from Fracture has clarity beyond compare, and their printing method makes that possible.
Fracture prints start out as a piece of durable glass, cut and hand-prepared for each print size. Ink is then sprayed directly onto the glass and instantly cured through their special UV process (sort of like a gel manicure). A bright, opaque layer of white ink is then applied directly beneath the color layer. This brings your print to life and adds depth to the overall color.
After that, a lightweight and minimal mount is fastened to the glass print–this lets your print stand slightly off the wall and lends an additional layer of strength. This process is what gives Fracture prints the clarity and luminosity we love.
4. Placing Your Order Is Always No Muss, No Fuss
Ordering prints from Fracture is the easiest thing to do, and here’s why: they are with you every step of the way, outlining exactly what you need to do. First, choose what type of print you want (Individual or Photo Wall). Then, pick and upload your photo to their website and select the size.
Fracture does not offer custom sizing, but they have plenty of sizes to choose from. Just make sure you look at their file requirements to see how large your photo should be for the size of the print you want!
After that, you just pick which add-ons you’d like (you can mattify your print for a few extra dollars, or add a stand if you’re not planning to hang the print). If you’re not interested, just click “Continue to cart”, and you’re done! Easy as 1, 2, 3…4.
5. Fracture Cares About You AND the Planet
Fracture is no stranger to customer service–they’re literally the best in the biz. They offer a 60-day Happiness Guarantee that ensures you never have to worry about not liking your print. If there is ANYTHING (and we mean anything) wrong with your print in terms of color issues, blur/pixelation, or unintentional crop, Fracture will make it right and send you a new (and completely free) print ASAP.
Fracture is also committed to responsible stewardship of the planet. After all, they work out of a 30,000 square-foot facility entirely powered by solar energy. They’re also a carbon-neutral company that is always on the lookout for innovative ways to protect our planet from the impact of waste and disposable plastics. From glass to production to packaging, they’re uber-committed to a small footprint (and we love them for it).
Fracture Sets the Gold Standard for Glass Prints
From when you capture that perfect moment to the instant your Fracture print graces your wall, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world of visual wonder. Fracture prints are top-quality, durable, and so simple to order that you’ll never go back to traditional photo paper ever again.
Your memories deserve the best. See for yourself why we’ll never print our photos anywhere but Fracture (and don’t forget to sign up for their email list to get 15% off your first purchase).
