How will my package arrive? What packaging do you use?
We use various local printing locations around the world to minimize carbon footprint and for this reason we have chosen a more minimal and environmentally friendly packaging option.
Orders containing both prints and frames will be shipped flat together in the same packaging, back to back, with the print in its own protective sleeve. We don't offer a framing service yet, but we're working on it!
Orders containing only prints will be shipped in either a sturdy cardboard tube or in a thick cardboard packaging, depending on the production location.
In some cases we ship items from different locations, so an order may contain multiple packages and tracking links.
With standard shipping, tracking is not guaranteed. Any shipment that we can safely stow in an A4 envelope will be sent as a letter without a tracking number. This enables the postman to deliver your goods even if you are not at home. Consignments that go beyond this amount are sent as a parcel or package and thus also receive a tracking number.
Acrylic:
Acrylic prints are packed with strong edges to protect the items. We also wrap the item in bubble wrap/plastic for extra protection.
They will be covered with a protective film on the front of the picture. This film varies in color by vendor and can typically be milky, green, or blue. These protective films can be mistaken for scratches, bubbles or a color cast on a print/glass.
Glass:
The frames are pre-assembled with corners and foil and then packed in a cardboard box with strong edges to protect the frames. Furthermore, I-beams are used to give the packaging extra stability, especially for orders with multiple items (max. 3 frames in one package).
The posters are packed separately in an inner cardboard folder (max. 10 posters in an inner folder).
Plexiglas used in frames may also carry a protective film, but this is often attached to both the front and back of the glass. This often has a blue tint. These protective films can be mistaken for scratches, bubbles or a color cast on a print/glass.
Can I return my print?
Unfortunately, due to the custom nature of our product, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on your prints. If for any reason you are not happy with your print please contact us via our inquiry form and we will resolve the issue as best we can.

Who plants the trees.
We plant our trees with ecology. Here you will find our forest
Our commitment to Ecolog.
We are happy to announce that Printree.ch is partnering with the social climate protection company Ecolog to plant a tree for every product sold on the platform.
We went through a long and rigorous process to find the right partner for this project. We can proudly say that Ecolog met its demands for absolute transparency about projects and costs. This information is available through their platform.
Can Ecolog prove the effect?
In an effort to be transparent about the climate solutions we finance, we publish the certificates for all carbon credits (proven reductions in CO2 emissions) we purchase, as well as the income from our purchases of tree planting services from our tree planting partners. You can see them here .
We only support climate protection projects that meet the highest verification standards such as Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard . In addition, we aim to fund offset projects that meet other key sustainability and development standards such as CCBS and SDVista – demonstrating how the offset projects (besides meeting a recognized carbon standard) also have a positive impact on local communities and on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We only work with tree planting partners who plant trees responsibly. In addition, our partners are regularly audited by third parties and publish internal reports for us with updates and data from our planting locations. Check out this annual audit for our Malagasy tree planting project for an example audit. You can read more about responsible reforestation here .
