Mini You by The Print Code

Everyone has
a place
they
go back to.

Now you can hold it.

Tell us about the moments that made you who you are. We'll turn them into one small world inside a box.

The boxes

Every box is one person's story.

Drag or swipe through them. Click or tap any box to see it up close.

A mother at the stove in a mint green kitchen, her son leaning on the table beside her.

Why it matters

Some moments were never photographed.

The kitchen that's gone. The game nobody filmed.

There's no picture of them anywhere, and you still remember every detail.

In the garage, a father rests his hand on his son's shoulder as they look under the hood of the car.

You send us a photo of each person and tell us the story.

We create everything else, down to the things only your family would recognize.

The same family hallway, its walls now hung with boxes, each one holding a moment from their life.

Then it all comes together in one frame, on a shelf in your home.

Photos stay on your phone. This one stays in the house.

How it works

It starts with your story.

  1. A young woman in a cream sweater looks up from her book at a cafe table by the window.

    01

    Tell us the story.

    We ask who it's for, what happened and how it felt. Your words are enough.

  2. The same woman at the same cafe table, now inside a framed box standing on a table.

    We build the scene.

    Every piece is created from your story. You see the design before we make it, and one round of changes is included.

Who it's for

For the people you never want to forget.

Companies give them too, to clients, partners and whole teams.

Questions

Before you ask.

A finished Sweet 16 box: her name, a beach, a signpost, her dog and shells.
What do I need to send?

A clear photo of each person. One is enough, and old photos are fine. We'll tell you if one won't work. If something else matters to you, send a picture of that too. We create the rest from your story.

What if I have no photo of the place?

Your words are enough. Tell us what you remember and we design it for you.

Do I see it before you make it?

Yes. We send you the design first, and one round of changes is included. Changes after that are $5 per element.

How long does it take?

About 7 business days. We don't offer rush orders, so put your date in the form.

When do I pay?

In full, before we start the design.

Can I get a refund?

Every box is made just for you, so there are no refunds once you approve the design. If it arrives damaged or we made a mistake, we remake it free within 30 days.

Can it be about something sad?

Yes. Some of the moments people hold on to most are the hard ones. We can make a box in loving memory of someone.

What sizes are there?

8×10 inches holds up to four figures and 10×10 inches holds up to six. A person, a pet or a large object each count as one. Need more? Ask us for a quote. The frame comes in black or white.

Can a company order?

Yes, one box or one for everyone on the team. Email us first and we'll set it up.

Start your box.

Tell us who it's for and what you want to keep. You'll get a quote by email, usually the next business day.

Have a question first? Ask us in the chat for an answer right away.

Up to 10 photos, 15 MB each.

We reply by email, usually the next business day. We use your details and photos only for this request, and we never sell them. See our privacy policy.
