Keep Your Personalised Decor Looking Perfect
At MKelada Designs, every piece is handcrafted onsite in Sydney using high-quality acrylic and UV printing technology. Acrylic is durable and UV printing allows for vibrant, long-lasting colour — but like any special keepsake, proper care will keep it looking beautiful for years to come. And best of all, we deliver Australia wide — so no matter where you are, you can enjoy our designs.
1. Handle with Clean, Dry Hands
Acrylic can attract fingerprints easily. Always handle your cake topper, wall name, or custom signage with clean, dry hands to prevent smudges and grease marks.
2. Cleaning: Gentle is Best
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth).
- If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water only.
- Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, or window sprays — they can cause the print to fade or the acrylic to lose its shine.
💡 Tip: Never use paper towels; they can scratch the surface.
3. Protect From Scratches
UV printed acrylic is tough, but it can scratch if rubbed against hard or rough surfaces. When not in use:
- Store flat or upright in the original packaging.
- Keep it away from keys, scissors, or sharp objects.
4. Avoid Heat and Direct Sunlight
While UV printing is designed to resist fading, prolonged direct sunlight or heat can warp acrylic over time. Display your piece indoors or in shaded areas for the best longevity.
5. Safe Storage After the Event
Many customers keep their personalised topper or decor as a special keepsake. To store long-term:
- Wrap in a soft cloth or bubble wrap.
- Place in a box away from heavy items that could press on it.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
