To mount M or L Displate on a 3D Magnet, please check the instruction here. Also, please follow this link to check our video on how to mount it.

Does a frame change the size of a Displate?

Our frames don't change the size of Displates itself, however, they do make the designs a bit smaller since our frames are printed directly on the artworks.
As for the size of the frame, it is 3 cm wide for M Displate and 3.8 cm for L Displate.

Safe Wall Magnet Mounting System

Is the mounting system included in the price?

With your order you will receive not only a magnet or magnets (depending on the size of a Displate) but also a wipe for cleaning a wall and a protective leaf to stick it to your wall. Everything is free of charge in order to help you to mount your shiny, new Displate the easiest way possible! πŸ˜‰

Is it possible to stick a Displate on a wallpaper?

We generally recommend mounting Displates to smooth & even surfaces only (not a structured wall). A lot of our customers stick them to their wallpapers, however, we are unable to assess whether it holds on your particular wallpaper.

How do I remove the magnet from my wall?

To remove the magnet from the wall you just need to grab a corner of the protective leaf and pull slowly. Simple as that 😊

Will a Displate damage my wall while taking it off?

One of the elements of the mounting kit, specifically the protective leaf, is meant to reduce the risk of damage of the wall if you decide to remove the Displate. Nevertheless, the final outcome also depends on the surface itself.

Can you recommend a different method of mounting?

We recommend mounting your Displate to the wall using a magnet only (which is sent with the order - totally free).
Also, we can suggest using a few pieces of adhesive or sticky tack to stick the Displate to the wall. Or, if you're able to drill into the surface, you can punch a hole in the magnet and mount it to the wall using a nail. It will be as snug as a bug in a rug! 😊

Can I mount my Displate on the brick surface?

In general, we don't recommend mounting a Displate on rough or uneven surfaces. In this situation, we suggest using a few pieces of adhesive or sticky tack to stick the Displate to the wall. Or, if you're able to drill into the surface, you can punch a hole in the magnet and mount it to the wall using a nail.

Can I mount my Displate on a slanted wall?

In case of mounting a Displate to a slanted wall, gravity definitely has the upper hand and can overpower the magnet causing your artwork to fall. Therefore, we can only advise mounting a Displate on a straight surface.

Can I mount my Displate in a bathroom?

Our Displates are galvanized which prevents them from rusting. However, in general we don't recommend mounting a Displate in an exceptionally humid environment as it can affect the strength of your magnet.

Can I mount my Displate outside?

Displates are mainly domestic creatures and love hanging around walls. However, they also enjoy being outside! In general, Displates are resistant to atmospheric conditions. They don't corrode and should stay in perfect condition and survive for many many years. One thing though, it is important not to place them directly in the sunlight and they should avoid direct contact with water, as the glue used in our Safe Wall Magnet Mounting System may lose its strength when exposed to these factors. Other than that, Displates are tough little beasts! 😊

Is it possible to purchase additional magnets?

You can buy additional magnets on our website - either in packs of 3 or 9. To purchase extra magnets please go here. As for 3D Magnet, please go here.

What kind of surface do you recommend for mounting your Displates?

We generally recommend mounting the Displates to the walls that are smooth and don't have a rough surface (not a structured wall). Please avoid walls such as the one below:
Dislate recommend surface for mounting

Is your mounting system reusable?

The glue on the leaf is one-use only so it is not possible to remove and reuse it after sticking it on the wall. If you wish to purchase an extra moutning kit, please go here.

What's a 3D Magnet?

The 3D Magnet is our alternative mounting system. It adds depth, and gives your Displate an eye-catching 3D effect. Can be used only on M and L Displates.

How can I pay for an order?

You can pay with your credit card (AX, VI, CA or Discover) or via PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay. Payments are made in USD, EUR, GBP, DKK, SEK, CHF. If your local currency is other than mentioned above, please check the currency that you will be charged with by adding a Displate to the cart.

How can I add two discount codes?

We are afraid that it is not possible to add multiple discount codes to the same order.

I forgot to apply a discount. Can you refund me a difference?

Once the order has been already paid for and is completed, unfortunately there is no possibility to refund the difference or add a discount to it.
If you forgot to add a discount code, the only solution is to cancel the order and place a new one. Remember to add your code in the box located below the order details in the cart.

Will I receive my invoice?

If you would like a digital copy of your invoice, please prepare your order number and e-mail address used to place it and try our fellow bot here. We're sure that our bot will be more than happy to help 😊

Can I get an invoice with the company's details?

We are afraid it is not possible to update an existing invoice with the company's details. That's because sales on our website are done between Displate and an individual, not between companies. This is why there is no option to enter the company's details at checkout. Sorry about that.

Can I order a Displate with my own image?

Yes, there is such a possibility. However, this option is only available for Displate Club members. You can find more information about our Club and how to join here.

Can you customise an artist's design which is already published on your website?

The designs on our website belong to our artists and we are not able to make any alterations. Every design is the artwork of a specific artist and therefore, their intellectual property.

Can I request a new Displate?

We would be happy to contact an artist on your behalf if you have a suggestion for a new Displate in one of the artist's collections. However, unfortunately we cannot give you any guarantee that the requested artwork will be uploaded, as our artists are free to upload only artworks of their choice and we don't have any influence on their content or in the theme they want to follow. If you'd like to send us a request, please contact us at here and let us know the name of the artist as well as the desired Displate.

Can I request a specific or larger size of a Displate?

We are afraid that we are not capable of printing custom sizes. Sorry ☹ Due to the limitations in the production process, we can only print Displates in the sizes below:

Medium size is 45 cm / 32 cm (17,72" / 12,6"),
Large size is 67.5 cm / 48 cm (26,60" / 18,90"),
X Large size is 90 cm / 64 cm (35,44"/ 25,20").

Can I get XL size in one piece?

We are afraid that we are not capable of printing XL Displate in one-piece. Sorry ☹ This is due to technical restrictions.

What kind of frames do you offer?

Each frame is 3D-printed on metal using our specialized tech (patent pending). We offer four different frames such as graphite and black, white and natural wood patterns. You can check them out here.

Can I choose a frame or gloss finish with my XL Displate?

XL Displates are only available in matte finish and without the option to add frames.

Can I order only a frame for my current Displate?

Each frame is printed directly on the Displate so it remains one-piece. This also means that the frames cannot be ordered separately.

What's the difference between matt and gloss finish?

Both finishes will make your artwork look like a masterpiece, but here's how they're different:
The gloss finish works great for photographs, as it really highlights black shades in photos, resulting in high contrast images with boosted colours.
Matte, on the other hand, imitates the effect that film has by focusing more on the texture of the image. It is also less prone to fingerprints so great if you are hanging it in a high traffic area or where there will be kids nearby. πŸ˜‰ Additionally, matte finish will not show as many reflections as the glossy finish does and also cuts down on glare if the sun shines directly on the Displate.

Please click here for more details and also see the photo below: Dislate matte and gloss finish

Can I buy digital art files?

Each design is created and owned by the artists and it's their intellectual property. Therefore, the artworks on our website cannot be sold in digital format.

Do you offer gift codes or vouchers?

Unfortunately, we do not offer gift codes or vouchers, yet, so please stay tuned.

Do you offer gift wrapping service?

Our awesome Displates are already delivered in gift-ready packaging so no gift-wrapping is needed 😊 Check it out:Dislate gift wrapping

Can I cancel my order?

You may cancel your order within the next 24 hour of placing it. This is due to the fact that after that time Displates are printed.
If you would like to cancel your order, our bot to the rescue! 😊 Please prepare your order number, e-mail address used to place it and the total order value (which you can find in your confirmation e-mail) and try our fellow bot here.

I have cancelled my order. When I will receive a refund?

Your refund should be finalized within 14 days of cancellation but we will do our best to do it asap.

Will there be any customs fee applied to my order?

Depending on the destination, there is a possibility of an additional duty fee. Its amount depends on the country's specific regulations. Any costs related to customs duties shall be paid by the buyer.

Why is my payment not successful?

We are sorry to hear that your payment didn't go through ☹ The most common reason tends to be that some banks have some restrictions on foreign payments so we would suggest contacting your bank for more details. If you don't think it is a bank issue, please contact us here so that we can help.

Is payment on your website secure?

We confirm that payment on our website is secure and encrypted. You can read more about our SSL certificate by clicking the LOCK icon to the left of our URL displate.com

Why did a Displate disappear from my wishlist?

If a Displate disappeared from your wishlist or cart, we are afraid that the Displate you wanted to buy is no longer available. Our artists are free to upload, update and remove artworks from our website at any given time and we respect their decisions. Some artists prefer to put up collections only for a limited time or remove them for other reasons and unfortunately, we have no say in that.

Artists

How to become an Artist on your website?

It's great to hear that you want to join Displate community! πŸ˜‰ To register an artist's account, please go here and select the 'Submit portfolio' button to send us your portfolio. Just note that we verify only messages with a link to an online portfolio. Also, we will contact only those artists whose artworks are in line with the vision of Displate. All those who will not get any response within the next five business days are considered as not accepted for Displate for which we are sorry.

Do I have to pay something to become an Artist on Displate?

Becoming an Artist on Displate is 100% free! 😊

Do the artworks presented on Displate undergo any selection?

Displate reserves the right to reject any artwork during the validation process that is not in line with the profile of our website or doesn't meet our technical criteria. The most common reasons for artworks' rejection are: low quality files and borders or text being too close to the edge.

What technical requirements have to be fulfilled by the artwork to pass verification?

- Only high print quality uploads are published.
- Minimum 300 DPI in RGB mode. JPG size up to 30MB .
- The shortest side at least 2900px.
- 1.4:1 ratio for the best product fit (ex. 4060px x 2900px).
- No logos, no watermarks, no borders.
- Text/content shall be from the edge at least 200px for the file with min. size 4060px x 2900px.
- The whole content of the design must be included in one uploaded file .
- No multiple uploads of the same image with slightly changed colour palette or tiny detail.
- Tags need to correspond directly to the subject of the artwork.
You can read more information here.

What is your copyrights policy?

Our copyright policy is based on one rule: whenever an artist uploads artwork, they will continue to have ownership of the piece for as long as the artwork stays on our site. Our goal is to protect the artist's artwork, along with their intellectual and artistic property. You can read more about copyrights here.

How to upload artworks on the website?

To upload a single artwork, or several at once, you just need to go to the top right corner of our website to find the section 'Upload your artwork'. It's that simple! 😊 But remember, before uploading, please make sure that our technical requirements are met. You may check them here.

Can I upload a square image?

Unfortunately, we are not able to print outside of our ratio 1. 4:1 as your image wouldn't fit the product.

Why isn't my Displate available in XL?

The possibility to print in XL depends on the quality of the file, thus not every artwork is available in size XL.

Why do I receive the error message:'artwork is too short' or 'increase size, long side must be at least' while uploading an artwork?

The reason for this issue is due to the ratio of pixels. Our ratio 1. 4:1 means that the short side of a file needs to be multiplied by 1, 4 to get correct proportions. For example, if the short side is 1000px, then the long one should be 1400px. Therefore, please adjust the size of your file to meet our technical requirements. Also, please be sure that the short side of your file is at least 2900 px.

If this doesn't fix this issue, please contact us here and send the file as well as a screenshot of the error message you receive so that we can help.

Why can't I upload my artwork, even though I filled in the description?

The most likely (but easy to fix!) reason for not being able to upload your art is that the information on the right hand side of the screen has not been fully updated. Please complete each field so that the bar under your image shows 100%. Note: the most commonly missed field is Collection Name.
If this doesn't fix this issue, please contact us here from the e-mail associated with your account and send the file as well as a screenshot of the error message you receive so that we can help.

What does is mean 'You can have only 1 tab with Multiuploader open' while uploading an image?

If our website is giving you the message: 'You can have only 1 tab with Multiuploader open' the most likely reason is that you have the Displate website open in another browser or another window. Even if the website is not active, having it open in two separate windows can cause the issue to occur. I suggest closing your other tabs or uploading your designs by using incognito mode (ctrl + shift + n), or just dragging your artworks to the screen thus forcing an upload.
If this doesn't fix this issue, please contact us here from the e-mail associated with your account so that we can help.

Why are my artworks still awaiting approval?

Please note that validation occurs Mon-Fri. Therefore, in the case that you upload on Friday, your design may not be validated until the following Monday.

If this doesn't fix this issue, please contact us here and send us a screenshot of the file from the section 'Upload history' so that we can help.
