About Joyful Ducks

Small Michigan studio. Big smiles.

Joyful Ducks was hatched from a simple idea: that something as small as a duck can brighten someone’s day and spread joy in unexpected ways.

We’re a very small, home-based shop in Michigan, USA. Every duck is designed, 3D-printed, hand-finished, and shipped by us—no factories, no corporate machine. Just care, creativity, and a belief that little things can make a big difference.

What we make

Custom and collectable 3D-printed ducks for gifts, events, teams, and brands. Whether you’re picking a playful classic or commissioning a design just for you, each duck leaves our nest with personality and purpose.

How we make (our simple 4-step process)

  1. Design – We sketch, model, and proof your duck.
  2. Print – Each piece is 3D-printed for strength and detail.
  3. Hand-finish – We clean, fit, and finesse every duck by hand.
  4. Pack & ship – Securely packed and sent from Michigan with tracking.

We keep inventory intentionally low and print made-to-order to be responsible with materials and reduce waste. Sometimes that means a tiny bit more time—but it’s worth it for quality and the planet.

Our values

  • Joy, first. If it doesn’t spark a smile, we’re not done yet.
  • Made in Michigan. Proudly designed, printed, and shipped from our home studio.
  • Small & human. You’re supporting real people, not a conglomerate.
  • Waste-aware. All print scraps are recycled/repurposed.
  • Community. Ducks connect people—one quack at a time.

Responsible fulfilment (made to order)

Most orders ship in 3–7 business days. Because nearly everything is made to order, busy seasons or larger batches can take longer. If we already have your style on hand, we may ship same-day.

Local? We’ll happily arrange free local delivery when it’s the easiest option. You’ll always receive tracking when your duck heads out.
