A wrapped canvas is intended to be hung unframed. Canvas is stretched and mounted on a 1-1/2” thick 1-1/2” wide or 3/4” thick 1-1/2” wide wooden stretcher/strainer bars. The sides and corners are wrapped. No staples are visible. It's ready to hang on your wall!
We have 4 finishing options:
1 ½” Thick Gallery Wrap: Your print will be stretched over a wooden frame. The image will flow over the four sides of the canvas. These come ready to hang and do not require a picture frame (Keep in mind your photo will bend around the edges, so crop accordingly.) They come in both thin and thick versions. Thick Gallery Wrap - The canvas is wrapped around a 1-1/2 inch thick wooden stretcher frame. The image wraps around the sides for a clean modern look, finished and ready-to-hang.
¾” Thin Gallery Wrap: The canvas is wrapped around a 3/4-inch wooden stretcher frame. Gallery Wraps feature your image stretched side to side and the photo wrapped around the four edges. Therefore if you order an 8 x 10 print, standard 3/4-inch thick frame, your image will actually be printed 9 1/2 x 11 1/2. If you order it on a thick 1 1/2 inch frame, then your image will be printed 11 x 13. You can see your image is actually printed much larger than the size of the canvas print you order. Make sure you keep in mind that since your image is wrapped around the edge, you will need to crop accordingly. This is the reason we give you a live preview of your canvas image before you order.
Museum Wrap: Your print will be stretched over a wooden frame. The image will be printed full-frame and will stop at the front edge of the frame. The edges are white, black, or a color of your choice. These are ready to hang, or you may have them framed. The edges can be thin (3/4 inch) or thick (1- ½ inch). This is a great option if you don’t want the picture wrapping around the edges, your photo does not have room for cropping, or you are framing your canvas print. Please look at the examples and differences on the main page of the web site.
Canvas Roll: The options are endless when deciding how to display your canvas print. Your image will be printed on canvas and then sent on a roll or flat depending on the size, ready to take to your favorite frame shop.
