Custom Suncatcher - Other
Custom Glass Suncatchers – Personalized for Any Occasion
Your Story. Your Design. Our Craft.
Not every special moment fits into a predefined category—and that’s exactly why we created the “Other” Custom Suncatcher option. Whether you're commemorating a personal milestone, honoring a unique cause, designing merchandise for your brand, or simply bringing an idea to life in glass, this fully customizable listing is your blank canvas.
Blenko’s handcrafted suncatchers offer a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate what matters to you, no matter the reason or occasion. With deep, radiant colors and personal engraving, these are more than just decorative pieces—they’re glass-pressed expressions of meaning.

Design & File Guidelines
Custom suncatchers require clean, bold artwork that can be pressed into glass. Here’s what we recommend:
-
Preferred file formats: .ai, .eps, .svg, or .pdf with text converted to outlines
-
Also accepted: .jpg, .png, or .tiff at 300 DPI or higher
-
Avoid: screenshots, web graphics (typically 72 DPI), or images embedded in Word or PowerPoint
-
We cannot accept: photographic portraits, images of pets or faces, or highly detailed illustrations—glass can’t capture fine lines, gradients, or facial features effectively. These often result in disappointing final pieces.
Have an idea but not sure how to prep it? Our design team can help adapt it into a glass-friendly version.
FAQs – “Other” Custom Projects
Can I order just one piece?
Yes! Many customers order a single suncatcher as a gift or personal keepsake. There is no required minimum quantity.
Can I order multiple designs at once?
Yes, but each design may require a separate mold. Let us know your vision and we’ll provide guidance and pricing.
How long do you keep my mold?
We keep your hand-carved mold on file for up to one year, so reorders are quick and cost-effective.
Do you offer gift packaging?
Not by default, but you can easily pair your suncatchers with custom gift boxes, velvet pouches, or display stands for presentation. Many customers add these locally.
Can you create something based on my idea even if I don’t have artwork?
Yes. We include a limited amount of design support in your order. For more complex ideas, we’ll quote additional design time upfront.
When There's No Box to Fit In, We Press Something New
Not every story fits into a template—and that’s where we shine. Whether your project is deeply personal, wildly creative, or simply unconventional, we’re here to help you turn it into glass. The result is a piece that’s beautifully made, meaningfully customized, and truly yours.
