Print Your Photo on an Alloy Box


You may have read my earlier post re: printing on metal. Given the price commodities took there for a while, I never actually took the plunge - I didn't have a photo I felt worthy of the $100+ it was probably going to cost.

Tonight, I found another interesting option. At the Print Lounge, you can print a photo on an alloy box. Basically, they take a piece of metal, print your image, and then bend the edges to form a box that stands off the wall. The examples look great. Prices are in GBP - Print Lounge is located in the UK.

Does anyone know of an American version of this? It looks pretty cool!

I'm all over this. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Sweet! Hope that postage from the UK doesn't bite too hard!

Ok. So I'm jumping right off just a quick. A little to pricey at the moment. I don't have anything that's worthy.

Well, I've purchased a print on metal - but not from the Print Lounge. Bay Photo in SF is offering this service - not on a box, but their mounting options do give a stand-off from the wall. I'm very pleased with the quality - and the price!
