An air freshener with a picture carries more than a company name: a product photo, an illustration, a team photo or a colourful logo. Because it hangs from the rear-view mirror every day, a well-chosen motif keeps working – in your own company cars as well as in your customers' cars.
To make the picture look good at the small final size, three things matter: the right file, a motif that works on a few centimetres, and a shape that suits the picture. This guide shows what to look out for.
Which pictures work on an air freshener?
Almost any motif can be printed in full colour. Pictures with one clear main subject and good contrast work best. A face, a vehicle or a product in front of a calm background stays recognisable at the small size, while very detailed group photos or small text inside the picture get lost quickly.
- Product or vehicle photos with a cut-out background
- Illustrations, mascots and characters
- Colourful logos and word marks
- Combinations: picture on the front, contact details or a QR code on the back
The right file: resolution and format
Vector files such as PDF, SVG, AI or EPS are ideal for logos and graphics. Send photos as PNG or JPG in the highest possible resolution – the original file, not a screenshot or an image compressed by a messenger.
Only have a simple file? No problem: our design team reviews every file, prepares it for print and gets in touch if a picture is too weak for the final size. Logo, text and QR code are checked at the real final size before approval.
Shape and back side to match the motif
A picture has the strongest effect when the shape matches it. Besides classic shapes, a custom outline is possible – following a logo, a figure or a vehicle. If you are unsure, our design team suggests a suitable shape.
Front and back can carry different designs without an extra design fee. Many companies use the front for the picture and the back for contact details, a message or a QR code to their website or review page.

How ordering works
In the configurator you choose collection, quantity, fragrance and shape and upload your picture. The minimum order is 250 pieces. You then receive a draft; corrections are included until approval. Production only starts after your explicit approval and takes 10–12 working days.
- 40 fragrances to choose from, optionally as intensive fragrance
- Up to 1,000 pieces one design; from 2,000 pieces one separate motif per 1,000 pieces
- Optional printed header card for retail or presentation
- Worldwide shipping including customs
Tip: if you want to test several pictures – for different branches or campaigns – plan the quantity so that each motif gets at least 1,000 pieces.
