Meet Printerade
A small shop.
A lot of possibility.
Printerade is a custom 3D printing shop that relishes in the challenge of making and designing unique products just for you.
We make things for people who like a little personality in their everyday. A wand at the checkout. Your name on your desk. A gift that could only be for them.
Every piece is designed and printed in-house in Virginia, made to order instead of pulled from a warehouse shelf. Have an idea that is not in the shop? Tell us about it.
Let's talk about your idea ↗How does a tap-to-pay holder work?
Your own contactless debit or credit card sits inside the holder. At a compatible payment terminal, tap the holder where you would normally tap your card. The holder is not a payment account, and no bank card is included.
Do I need to connect it to an app?
No app, charging, or bank-account setup is needed for the card-holder products. Your compatible contactless card makes the payment. Contact-sharing NFC keychains are a separate kind of product.
Can you add my name or make something custom?
Look for personalization choices on the product page. You can also preview a star wand, nameplate, Double Take or AirTag case in the design studio. For a new idea, logo, or larger order, send us a message.
When will my order ship?
Made-to-order pieces, including personalized designs, take 1-2 business days to make. Then allow the shipping transit time. Custom artwork begins after the details are approved. Read shipping details.
What happens if there is a problem?
Contact our small shop with your order reference and a description of the issue. For damaged items, include photos. Read the returns and order-help policy for the terms that apply to your item.
Does a tap-to-pay wand work with Apple Pay?
No. A Printerade tap-to-pay wand or holder is for a physical contactless card only, not for Apple Pay or Google Pay on a phone, and it cannot hold a phone. It has no battery, chip or electronics of its own, so only the contactless card inside does the paying. The store terminal must accept contactless cards, and the card is not included.
Will my card work in the holder?
It works if your card is a contactless-enabled debit or credit card and the reader accepts contactless cards, because the holder only positions your card at the reader. The holder does not change how your card behaves, and it is not a payment account. If you are not sure your card is contactless, ask the company that issued it. The Krabby Cash holder fits one standard-size credit or debit card (ISO ID-1, 85.6 x 54 mm).
Is the card included with a tap-to-pay holder?
No. The holder, wand, coin or card sleeve does not include a card, bank account, or payment feature. You use your own contactless card, and it stays your card and your account.
How long is a tap-to-pay wand, and how does the card go in?
Wands with the adjustable rod are 14-15 inches long when extended and 10-11 inches collapsed. How the card goes in depends on the design, so check the product page. On the Shimmer Series Tap to Pay Butterfly, you push your card through a slot in the top butterfly piece with your finger.
What is the difference between a tap-to-pay holder and an NFC keychain?
A tap-to-pay holder holds your own contactless card, while an NFC smart keychain is a separate product that shares contact details, social links, or a profile with one tap. A keychain NFC tag does not become a bank card. On the Krabby Cash page, the NFC Keychain option is an accessory, not a card holder.
What material are your 3D prints made of?
PLA is our main material, and every 3D-printed shop listing is PLA unless its page says otherwise. We also use PLA+, PETG and ASA for some work. On Print My Model you can choose Standard PLA, PLA+, PETG, or ASA (ASA for models up to 100 mm on the longest side). PLA can soften with high heat, so keep your pieces away from hot places.
Where are your products made?
Printerade's 3D-printed pieces are designed and printed in our Virginia shop, USA, and made to order. Apparel is the exception: shirts, hoodies and tops are made to order through print-on-demand rather than printed in our Virginia shop. Orders ship within the US.
Do you ship outside the United States?
No. Printerade ships within the US only. Shipping rates and delivery estimates are shown at checkout and on the shipping page, taxes are calculated at checkout, and no account is needed.
What does “made to order” mean at Printerade?
It means your item is printed after you order it instead of being pulled from a stock shelf. Pieces take 1-2 business days to make, after any required design approval, and then ship within the US. Many pieces can be personalized with a name, initials, or logo, and each personalization field on a product page shows its character limit.
Can I return a personalized item?
No. Personalized and custom items are final sale, so check spelling and options before you pay. Unused non-personalized items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective, or wrong, contact us with your order reference and photos. See the returns and order-help policy.
Can I send you my own STL or STEP file to print?
Yes. Use Print My Model to upload STL, OBJ, 3MF, or STEP files (.step or .stp), up to 50 MB each, and get a firm quote. Choose the material, up to four colors, size, and quantity for each model. We check every model for printability before production, and your files stay private. Production takes the same 1-2 business days as shop items.
Can you print a custom logo or my company's logo?
Yes. In the design studio you can upload a logo as PNG, JPG, or WebP and see it in 3D before you order. Only upload artwork you own or have permission to use. For detailed logos, special sizes, or bulk orders, message us first.
Can I order in bulk or for a team or business?
Yes. Message us; the minimum is 3. On Print My Model, orders of 25 or more copies of one model go to Printerade for a personal quote.
How do I know my custom design is right before you print it?
In the design studio you see a live 3D preview and create a proof you can download and check. Approving it saves your proof and specifications with your order, so the design you reviewed is the one that is made. Personalized and custom items are final sale, so review spelling and colors carefully.
How big is the personalized nameplate?
The nameplate comes in two sizes: Standard is 8 x 2.5 inches and Large is 8.5 x 2.5 inches. Both are 0.25 inch thick and stand on their own. An adhesive or magnet back is available on request.
How many AirTag case designs are there?
The AirTag case keychain comes in 11 designs plus a Custom option. Pick one on the AirTag case page.
