Canvas Gallery Wrap

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Canvas Gallery Wraps are popular in art galleries, offices or in the home.  Your photo or artwork can be gallery-wrapped so that some of your image is printed around the sides of the frame to add extra depth and dimension.  Canvas prints are stretched over 5cm x 5cm thick Redwood frame, which is individually hand made for every print.

When choosing the right photo for you canvas make sure the subject is clear and will fit the size you’ve chosen.  As we use 5cm thick frames it means that 5cm on all sides of your image will be gallery-wrapped around the sides of the frame.  For example to get a 50cm x 40cm canvas, your image will be printed at 60cm x 50cm to allow for 5cm on all fours sides to be gallery-wrapped around the frame.

We were delighted by the magazine comments and they were impressed by our high standard of finish, colour rendition and overall image quality. Click here to read the review
