Puzzles with non-rectangular edges can be inset so they fit flush with the
top of a custom made tray.

Color line cutting |
Creates pieces that look like edge
pieces, but aren't. Requires at least one straight line in the picture.
Makes it harder to assemble. Note that these pieces do not interlock. |

Cutting to make it hard to solve -
uses random cutting style, irregular edges, color line cutting, even
duplicate pieces. |

Additional
photo editing |
Processing beyond a "reasonable"
amount will be charged based on time. |
|
Scanning more
than 1 photo or photos larger than 8.5x11 |
$2.00 per photo (beyond

Choosing the number of pieces in a puzzle can
be confusing. If you don't care about how hard it is to solve the puzzle, a 20 piece 8x10 is a
good way to showcase your photo. For a given size, more pieces make it harder to
solve.
See the
pricing page for our
suggested guidelines for the number of pieces based on a child's age.
Individual children may prefer more or fewer pieces.
