Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re tired of giving the same old tie, coffee mug or grilling tools year after year, it’s time to switch things up. This year, celebrate Dad with a meaningful, lasting gift he’ll truly treasure—a custom metal photo print.
Metal prints are modern, vibrant, and incredibly durable. Whether it’s a candid moment, a family portrait, or one of Dad’s proudest memories, printing it on metal transforms it into a work of art. In this guide, we’ll walk you through some of the best Father’s Day gift ideas using metal prints—designed to make Dad smile for years to come.
Forget fragile frames and faded paper prints—metal prints are in a class of their own. Using a process called dye sublimation, the image is infused into a ChromaLuxe aluminum panel at high heat, resulting in brilliant color, sharp detail, and a sleek, frameless design. The final product is:
For Father’s Day, it’s the perfect blend of sentiment and style—something Dad will be proud to hang in his home or workspace.
One of the most heartfelt gifts you can give is a moment frozen in time—a snapshot of Dad playing catch in the yard, helping with homework, or laughing with the kids at the beach. These everyday moments often hold the most meaning.
Our Smartphone EasyOrder prints make it simple to upload directly from your phone—no need to dig through old albums. With size options like 5×7 or 11×14, you can create a piece that fits perfectly on his desk, bookshelf, or man cave wall.
Does your dad love cars, motorcycles, fishing, or the great outdoors? Capture his passion and turn it into stunning wall art. Whether it’s a close-up of his restored vintage car, a snapshot of him at his favorite fishing spot, or a landscape from a memorable camping trip, hobby-themed prints are always a hit.
Opt for a high-gloss finish to make colors pop, or choose a brushed aluminum base for a rugged, metallic look that complements automotive and outdoor shots perfectly.
If you have several great memories to share, create a collage metal print that tells the story of your bond. Use 3 to 5 photos that span from childhood to adulthood, capturing milestones, vacations, and special moments together.
Our Multi-Print Easy Ordering tool makes it easy to mix and match sizes and finishes in one order. You can hang them in a clean row or cluster them for a more casual display.
Sometimes, the most powerful gifts are the ones that say what’s in your heart. Create a metal print with a meaningful message, personal quote, or inside joke that only you and Dad understand.
Some ideas include:
Design these using simple text on a photo background or solid color. We’ll print it onto a ChromaLuxe panel in your chosen size—ready to hang in Dad’s workshop, office, or garage.
Bring on the nostalgia! Dig up an old photo from your childhood and pair it with a recent recreation. Whether it’s you and Dad at the beach, riding bikes, or sitting on the porch, a side-by-side comparison makes for a touching and often hilarious gift.
Create two metal prints—one of each moment—and hang them side-by-side with float mounts for a modern gallery look.
If Dad works from home or has a personal office space, a smaller metal print makes a perfect desktop companion. These prints are ideal for:
Choose our aluminum easel mounts for simple, free-standing display—no wall space needed.
Yes, pet dads count too! Celebrate the dog walks, belly rubs, and slobbery kisses with a custom pet + dad photo. Whether it’s a goofy selfie or a pro photo of the two lounging together, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
For a rustic look, try a brushed aluminum base that allows the metal texture to shine through the lighter parts of the photo.
