Handle with Care


At StoneImpressions, we take pride in our slogan 'On Any Stone and In Any Size'. Along with being able to manufacture a product that is any size, we must be able to package it as well. And with the knowledge of our trusted team, we can do just that!



Once our product is manufactured, the packing process begins. It all starts with shrink wrapping, which keeps every tile in its place.

It is then wrapped up with our foam cushioning and bubble wrap.


Being conscientious of our carbon foot print, we try to use as many recycled materials as possible. To accomplish this, we have created eco-friendly habits. We gather pallets and boxes from neighboring businesses. We shred scrap paper and post-consumer cardboard to use as packing material.


To custom fit each box to each order, we cut boxes down to fit the size of the material. If we have any extra cardboard left after cutting down the box, we use those spare pieces to wrap tiles or fill.

  
Once everything is nice and snug in the box, each package is taped up securely.
 

For larger orders, boxes are packaged in a crate or on a pallet. On occasion, we have to be inventive and figure out ways to package odd shaped orders.


Like these 3x52, 2x52, and 1x12 Charleston Banks Listellos.


To ensure that each order is handled with care, a fragile sticker goes on each package.



 As a company we are proud to say that our product is made in America! To show off this pride, each package also receives a Made in USA sticker.

.
 Not only do we pay painstaking attention to detail in our manufacturing process, but we pay close attention to detail in the packing process.  This is because packing is a critical step that shouldn't be overlooked.  Thank you StoneImpressions warehouse crew for handling our product with care!

Bravo to StoneImpressions




Catch a glimpse of our Zellii Mural on Bravo's Real Housewives of Miami. In an episode that aired last week, viewers could see our beautiful Zellii adorning housewife Karent's kitchen backsplash. It is also on view on Bravo.com in a slideshow featuring her entire home.

We have also been spotted on HGTV’s House Hunters International in an episode where a young couple is moving from Scottsdale Arizona to France. Keep your eyes peeled for us. StoneImpressions is everywhere!

No Stone Unturned

At StoneImpressions we pride ourselves on creating custom designs that are hand printed in any size and on any stone. To achieve a different look and feel with a particular design, you can simply change the type of stone that you use. Light Travertine, with all the natural crevices and pits, will give you the most rustic look.  A design on the smooth, white surface of the Carrara will have a clean, contemporary feel.

We carry six signature stone types: Tumbled Durango, Light Travertine, Botticino, Bianco, Limestone and Carrara.  We will leave "No Stone Unturned" to give you the perfect look for your home!

Made in the USA







In honor of Fourth of July, we would like to express our pride in saying that our tiles are manufactured in the United States of America. The stone that we use is sourced from Italy, Mexico and the Balkans, however we purchase these raw materials from American suppliers. Once the stone tiles arrive at our state-of-the-art facility in San Diego, California, our employees use our patented process to create the colorful, decorative tiles and murals that you see in our catalog and on our website.

We sell our tiles only through our network of authorized dealers located throughout North America. Many of these showrooms are small, local businesses who have strong roots in their own communities. These stores are a part of your local economy. They employ your neighbors, contribute to the local tax rolls, and have a vested interest in your community. No one likes to pay taxes, but wouldn't you rather have your money stay in your own backyard?

We are proud of the professionalism and knowledge of our dealers and so we are more than happy to refer you to one when you are looking to purchase our tiles. You can find your local dealer by going to the Tile Shop Locations page of our website. You can also fill out a form on our Request a Quote page and we will have a local dealer contact you.
