🎉 Why I Love Making Custom Cardboard Cutouts 
(and Why You’ll Love Them Too)

Running Tanalia Ltd, I’ve created a lot of printed products—but nothing gets people smiling quite like our custom cardboard cutouts. Honestly, they’re one of my favourite things to make, because I get to see how much joy they bring at parties, weddings, and special events.

The Magic of a Life-Size Cutout

Imagine walking into a party and being greeted by a life-size version of yourself, your best friend, or even your favourite celebrity. The laughter, the surprise, the photos—it never gets old.

Our customers tell me over and over that their cutout ended up being the highlight of the night. Some even say it was better than the cake!

What Our Customers Say

Here are a few of my favourite bits of feedback we’ve received:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product and team were really helpful. Delivered quickly and helped us edit the photo to get the prefect result. Thank you!.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent item and such great service. Alterations made to ensure we were happy with the design and then delivery was so fast! Thank you very much, would definitely recommend!.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing quality Speedy delivery Great customer service Thank you

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when I hear stories like these. It’s proof that a simple idea—turning a photo into a standee—can create unforgettable memories.

So Many Uses

Over time, I’ve seen customers use their cutouts in so many creative ways:

Birthdays – the guest of honour in cardboard form.

Weddings – props of the bride, groom, or even family pets.

Corporate events – branded standees that make people stop and take photos.

Seasonal gifts – one customer even ordered a cutout as a Mother’s Day gift.

Some people treat them like giant posters or quirky wall art to keep afterwards. Others just enjoy them for the moment—but either way, they’re unforgettable.

How Easy It Is

The process couldn’t be simpler:

  • Place your order – Choose your preferred material and size: we use : • Plastic • Cardboard • Aluminium
  • You upload your favourite photo. You don’t need to remove the background. Our designers will do that for you. Use a clear, full-body image (high resolution)  Solid background optional but helpful We'll make sure your cutout looks clean, crisp, and ready to stand tall! –  It can be uploaded on an Etsy or Ebay message or email it to orders@tanalia.com.

  • We print it, cut it out, and send it to you.

Testimonials

This company is the best I've used on Etsy. I had an unusual request and they were so passionate about my design and keen to make it work. They did it in rapid time, delivery was quick and it arrived cleverly packaged. It could not have been better! Don't hesitate.. just use this company! I spent ages researching and I didn't need to... I gave them a very faded picture from the 90s, and as you can see.. they did an amazing job, it was clear and extremely good quality!!

Perfect for our baby boy’s first birthday. I ordered last minute but the customer service was amazing and delivery was faster than expected. Definitely recommend!!!

Absolutely fantastic will be using again

Love the cutout, excellent quality, exactly like the photo. Service was so quick, ordered one day and it was delivered the next. Great communication too, would highly recommend.

5* service from the team. Evri damaged my parcel in transit. Told the team and they printed another and hand delivered it in the evening ready for the wedding. Photoshopped out hugging girlfriend to just make the cutout Josh with another arm. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough.
