Personalized Christmas Ornaments

Often you may be a part of an ornament gift exchange. You may regularly do this amongst your friends, family or co-workers. The great thing about an ornament is the options are endless making this one of the easiest, least expensive and most creative ways to express a gift to the person you are giving it to. Ornaments can be found anywhere from online shopping, at a mall, homemade or even at a flea market or swap meet. Just like the gift its self, the options are endless!

If you are on the market this year for the perfect and most unique ornament to give I may have a suggestion for you. The suggestion cannot be found at any shopping mall, flea market and most certainly cannot be made at home.

Some places offer personalized ornaments. Although putting someone’s name on a mass produced item that may be fitting to the person you are giving it to is a neat option sometimes you are not limited to this 1 option for personalization. Sometimes we want to give personalized items that are more unique and more fitting for that special person. 

If you are on the market for a personalized Christmas ornament why don’t you try laser engraved crystal ornaments? This type of ornament is done using your own picture of a place, person or item that will best describe the person it is meant for. You also have the option of 1 text line to be included not limiting you to only a name or place.

These personalized engravings are done on the center of the crystal making this image last forever. This means that the name or picture will not be ruined if it gets wet and will not fade or rub off over time like some ornaments. This making personalized laser engraved ornaments from Goodcount the perfect gift to give for your ornament shopping experience!

Picture Quality in 3d Laser Engraving

A common question in our industry is about picture quality. Of course, if you are spending the money on a laser engraved crystal you will want to be sure the turnout will be good. After all these do last forever! Here at Goodcount we are good at checking every order received from quality of the picture to the customer concerns on the notes section of the order. Once we receive your order we will go over all of the general details and make sure the proper selections are made.

EX: 3D 1 head shot is not the correct selection with a family of 3 heads. If you have a family picture of 3 heads you will need to select 3D 3 head shots.

Another thing we will check is the quality of your picture. This is a major detail we take seriously because well, your picture and the turnout has everything to do with the order. So, we do check the quality. A general rule to pay attention to is clarity. The more clear your picture is, the more clear your engraving will be. If details are hard to see from a bright sun or too dark from being in a dark room then the engraved image will also have these issues.

The pictures on our website were engraved using high quality pictures at 300 DPI resolution or were 640x480 pixels. This is how you will receive the absolute best turn out for your engraving. However, we understand not everyone knows how to find this so to help and as a part of our services we do this work for you and check when we receive your order!

You do not want your picture size to be too small. Let’s say you are cropping the 1 person you would like in the picture from a group of 5. This may not be the best picture to submit because you have made the picture smaller. Our suggestion is to submit the full version of the picture and let us know who you want, we will crop out the others for you to help assure the size stays large and your engraving has a good result.

Another picture submission to avoid is pictures of pictures. These do not come out good. Remember that general rule mentioned earlier, if the picture does not look clear then neither will your engraving? Pictures of pictures typically show a glare, have a slight blur due to movement of taking the picture and typically show the hand, camera or other things in front of it. Unless you like these optical illusions we suggest not submitting these or they will show in the engraving. If you do not have a scanner it’s ok, mail us the picture and we will scan it for you for free and mail it back to you with your order.

Picture of picture vs. properly scanned picture above.

When going over the details of every order we focus a lot on the pictures for obvious reasons. However, we also look for requests such as to engrave the picture vertically or horizontally. Unfortunately, we cannot read minds and like it when our customers let us know what they are expecting. If there is a request we cannot meet me are sure to contact the customer and let them know why and our suggestions. Also, unless we are requested to keep the background it will be cropped out and removed to focus on the faces. We also will crop your pictures to head shots unless specified not to or you have selected a 3D option for more than head shots.

We hope that this information helps to clear up a common question about picture quality expectation for our orders. Please know that every employee at Goodcount is a part of a team to handle your order from the point we receive your order till the point it has been delivered to your front door. We also hope that this will also help to simplify your picture selections and assure you that we will care for every order received!

Precious Memories

Do you ever run out of ideas or ways to save your precious memories? Laser engraved crystal in 2D and 3D will preserve your picture forever. Goodcount can take your favorite picture and laser etch the image on the center of the crystal you select. Goodcount also has a wide variety of crystal shapes and sizes to choose from.

Sometimes the picture you may like also shares a precious memory with someone who is close to you. If this is the case often, these crystals are given to others or shared with families to also enjoy the memory forever. These laser etched crystals in 2D or 3D make the perfect for just about any occasion, season, or celebration!

Example: do you have a co-worker who you may have become close friends with over the length of time you have gotten to know and work with one another? If they are leaving the company to try other professional opportunities this is also the perfect gift to give in remembrance of the good times you have had together to get them where they are today, well and to be sure you’re friendship is never forgotten of course!

Just like your memories with someone they may not be a picture of you and the person. What if you went to college with a good friend and a simple item reminds you of them? Sometimes this may be the case. Goodcount can also turn an object into 3D or 2D. With this gift idea, you are never limited! Rest assured Goodcount is prepared for your personalized 2D or 3D order. So, no matter the occasion or how you met someone or whatever you did to even gain a special memory even if you were alone the option of having it personally preserved into crystal is always an option.

Engrave pictures that include people wearing things into crystal

Frequently we are asked the questions if we can engrave pictures that include people wearing things such as hats or glasses. The answer is yes! We certainly can include these things. We do not want to limit the use of a picture because of these daily articles of clothing. They will simply be turned into 3D and engraved with your picture.

Please take a moment to see this picture for example:

Here is a perfect example to show the turnout of a person wearing a hat and converted into 3D. We think that this hat adds a lot of character to the engraved image and is displayed very nicely into the crystal

In summary, Goodcount is capable to convert your picture into 3D using the latest technology.
