Mixtiles is a fast-growing startup company that redefines the way we print and hang photos in our homes, classrooms, and offices. If you’ve ordered from them in the past, you might know that they come in five different styles and are shipped to you quickly in just 5 days, but here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about Mixtiles!

1. The company was founded so that hanging great photos could be easier, faster, and more accessible.

Since the days of cave paintings thousands of years ago, people have been putting art on walls. Mixtiles founders Eytan Levit and David Katz realized this, and decided to disrupt the framing and photography industry by making it more affordable and wall-friendly to hang your photo memories on the wall. They spent over a year in the lab testing ideas in order to find the best adhesive backing that wouldn’t damage your walls.

Just picture a world where you can mount photos in under 5 minutes — without a hammer and nails!

From that simple idea, Mixtiles was born.

2. Mixtiles is an international company.

Many people don’t know this, but Mixtiles is based in Tel-Aviv, Israel! Mixtiles ships all over the world — and every order comes with 100% free shipping! Orders have been placed in over 30 countries in the past month alone. It just goes to show you: people all over want to show off photo memories on their walls!

3. They always have free shipping!

One of the best aspects of Mixtiles is that you never have to worry about paying for shipping. The company always offers free shipping no matter where you are in the world! Often times, too, they can arrive at your door in as fast as five days!

4. The Mixtiles team is really invested in high-quality photos.

Mixtiles wants to ensure that not only they produce the best product, but that your tiles turn out good enough that you’ll want to keep them forever. They have implemented technology into their uploading system that detects if your photo has a resolution high enough to produce a high-quality print. If it isn’t, Mixtiles will flag your photo and recommend you select another.

5. The two founders were featured in the very first Mixtiles ad.

When Mixtiles was first being introduced to the world, co-founder David Katz decided to film a brief explainer video titled “Mixtiles: A Short Introduction.” He’s featured hanging up and rearranging the very first version of Mixtiles on a wall, demonstrating their stick-and-restick capabilities. If you look closely at the photos, you will see co-founder Eytan Levit featured too!
