Frequently Asked Questions

About our plaques: materials, sizes, hanging, and where to buy them. For custom calligraphy, custom colors, or large orders, send us a message.

The plaque & materials

What is the plaque made of?

Each plaque is 3D-printed from PLA and Silk PLA, plant-based plastics suited to indoor decor. The body is printed in a base color. The calligraphy, the English line and the border are printed in Silk PLA, whose metallic shimmer stands out against the base. Each listing shows the colors available there.

To set expectations: a plaque is a lightweight printed PLA piece. It is not metal, resin, ceramic, or marble, and the silk “gold/silver/copper” colors are colored PLA, not real metal.

About the marble colors: these are a speckled-PLA marble look, not real stone or marble. The speckle is part of the filament, so the exact pattern varies slightly from print to print.

Will my plaque be perfect?

Every plaque is 3D-printed to order, one piece at a time, then cleaned and finished by hand. Because of this, you may see slight texture or small variations. These are the marks of a made-to-order piece, not defects.

How do I care for my plaque, and will the colors match exactly?

Care: these are 3D-printed PLA pieces made for indoor wall decor. Keep them indoors and out of direct sunlight and heat (a hot car, a sunny windowsill, or anywhere above roughly 120°F / 50°C can soften PLA). To clean, gently dust or wipe with a soft, dry cloth — no harsh chemicals, no soaking.

Colors: the design previews on this site are drawn, not photographed, and screens vary. Real filament, especially the silk “gold,” “silver,” and “copper” finishes, can look richer or slightly different in person. Our silk colors are gold-colored, silver-colored, and copper-colored PLA; they are not metal, metal plating, or precious metal. Expect small, natural variation between a preview, a photograph, and the piece you receive.

What sizes are available, and how thick are they?

Four sizes, each a substantial wall piece:

SizeMetricApprox. thickness
6 × 8 in15 × 20 cm~12 mm
8 × 10 in20 × 25 cm~15 mm
9 × 11 in23 × 28 cm~15 mm
9 × 12 in23 × 30 cm~15 mm

Every plaque hangs landscape — the first number is the height, so the 9 × 12 is approximately 12 in wide × 9 in tall.

How does it hang on the wall?

A recessed keyhole hanger is built into the back of every plaque. It hangs on a single screw or nail and sits flush against the wall — there's no separate bracket or frame to attach.

What is the difference between Classic Design and Premium Design?

A listing asks for two things: a size and a build. The marketplaces name the two builds Classic Design and Premium Design.

Classic Design is a flat plaque with an inlaid border line. Premium Design has a raised frame and a separate border.

The size cards on this site also give the four sizes a name: Signature is 6 × 8 in, Gallery is 8 × 10 in, Grand Gallery is 9 × 11 in, and Grand Gallery Wide is 9 × 12 in. The marketplaces list by size.

Why does Premium Design cost more?

Premium Design adds a raised frame and a separately printed border. That is an extra printed part, and more print time and material.

List prices on Etsy, read October 10, 2026:

SizeClassic DesignPremium Design
6 × 8 in$41.99$46.99
8 × 10 in$57.99$67.99
9 × 11 in$68.99$78.99
9 × 12 in$78.99$88.99

The listing shows the price you pay today, including any sale running there.

The step is larger on the bigger sizes because their borders use more material than the 6 × 8 in version.

Which colors can I choose?

On Etsy, each listing asks for a base color and a second color for the lettering, and shows the colors available there. The materials section of our home page shows what the finishes look like; a color shown there is not necessarily on every listing.

Can I 3D-print or copy these designs myself?

No. Our original plaque designs, the way each Name is arranged in relief, and our 3D-printable model files are copyrighted, so reproducing them for 3D printing or distribution isn't permitted. We don't claim the Arabic Names themselves or the calligraphy typefaces (those belong to the tradition and to their publishers); our copyright is in our particular designs, arrangements, and files.

The plaque you buy is yours, though: you're welcome to keep it, gift it, or even resell that physical piece. If you'd like to license a design or order in bulk, just reach out. Full details are in our Terms.

Where to buy, delivery & returns

Where do I buy a plaque?

This site shows the range and does not take orders. Our plaques are sold in our Etsy shop , and selected designs are on Amazon and eBay as well.

Start from the Names of Allah, Words of Faith or Tabletop: each design's page links to the listing that sells it and names the choice to make there.

How do I pay?

You pay on the marketplace where you buy, through its own checkout. This site does not take payments and never sees your card details.

How long does it take to make and deliver?

Each plaque is made to order. The listing where you buy shows the current processing time and the delivery estimate for your address.

How much is delivery?

The listing shows the delivery charge for your address before you pay.

How is sales tax handled?

The marketplace works out any sales tax at its checkout and shows it before you pay.

What is your return policy?

Returns follow the policy shown on the listing where you bought. If a piece arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, message the shop from your order on that marketplace.

Custom work & large orders

Can I choose the calligraphy style?

On Etsy, the Names of Allah are sold in one calligraphy hand: the flowing classical hand every Name is drawn in on our Names page. Most Words of Faith phrases come in several drawings. Each drawing has its own card on the phrase's page, with the choice to make on the listing.

For lettering in another style, send us a message.
