+ Unframed

Two options for unframed print presentation - Image Wrap and Solid Sides.

Image Wrap

For Image Wrap, all 4 sides of the canvas are printed. The artwork appears to extend from the front of the canvas to the sides. On the computer we have visually extended the artwork by repeating the image and extending this around the edge to create a border. Although this is not exactly the same effect that an original artwork would have, it would create an illusion of this.

Solid Sides

For Solid Sides (also known as Museum Wrap), the artwork is entirely on the face of the print, and all 4 sides of the canvas are a solid colour (standard colours are black or white). As compared to an Image Wrap, a canvas print with Solid Sides can look just as beautiful, sharper and more formal.

+ Rolled

Rolled Print

Canvas prints can also be ordered rolled up - a perfect option for sending or travelling overseas. There is minimal risk of damage and postage costs are lower. Each rolled canvas print will be placed in a sturdy cardboard tube (8 cm in diameter), and will include framing instructions.

Rolled Print Sides

For rolled prints, there is also the option of changing the colour of the sides. Solid sides and Image Wrap is available (see "Unframed" section for more examples). The default colour of the sides is white.

+ Wooden Hanger

Wooden Hanger

*Available for 74x74 & 94x94 prints only.
A portable and contemporary option is the canvas print hung tapestry style - with a wooden hanger.
The artwork is printed on a piece of canvas and is fixed into place on the wooden hanger with small screws.
(There are a few tapestry hangers available in the market that use magnets to secure the fabric/canvas. No magnets are used in our product. Magnets are considered “dangerous” to ship by air and can only be shipped by sea.)
