2020 was a tough year and most of us have been apart from our families for more than a year due to the pandemic.

Realising the need to bring families closer mentally and emotionally despite the physical distance, Printcious – one of the largest customised gift printing suppliers in Malaysia – aims to spread joy through personalised gifts to make this year’s parents’ day extra special.

“We are all about finding the right gifts,” says Vincent Tong, chief executive officer of Printcious Gifts.

“We position ourselves as the place you can come to for gift ideas without having to deal with the typically time-consuming and costly process.”

Printcious is not just about gifting, he adds, but also about presenting a gift that is made from the heart, with a personal and do-it-yourself (DIY) touch added to it.

Since the beginning of 2021, Printcious has partnered up with leading global creative platform and licensed content provider Shutterstock to add a number of Shutterstock images and designs to Printcious’s existing collection.

Customers can use these images and designs as templates to create DIY personalised gifts such as throw pillows, T-shirts, mugs, canvasses, puzzles, mousepads, tote bags, and more.

“Our website is not just for gift sourcing. It also gives you the opportunity to present your personality and style when it comes to home decoration or gifts for your loved ones,” Tong adds.

An extensive list of options can be found on Printcious’s website with estimated prices ranging from RM15 to RM180.

Your gifts can be produced in three ways:

• Design your own: Add your own design, photo and text to be printed as-is.
• Template-based: Use existing template designs online, which are available to customers who are not design-savvy. Customers need only add photos or texts in designated spots for a personalised feel.
• Ready designs: Gift ideas that already carry a design and do not really require customisation are also available, though Printcious still offers its online design tool should customers need to add any text to ready designs.

Customers also need not worry about delays in order deliveries, especially during peak gifting season, as Printcious’s shipping partner Aramex has been tasked with the duty to ensure that all orders are delivered on time.

“Should you have concerns about your orders not making it in time, we have a self-collect option for customers who prefer to pick up the item personally from our office in Klang,” adds Tong.

Plus, even if you’re countries apart from your loved ones, take comfort in the fact that the award-winning startup has served customers in 100 countries and regions including Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
