Canvas Print General Questions
Why should I choose canvas prints over framed art or posters?
Modern and Frameless Look
Canvas prints provide a sleek, clean, and frameless aesthetic that seamlessly blends into any decor style. Unlike traditional framed art, canvas prints don't require additional framing, giving your space a contemporary, minimalist look right out of the box.
Texture and Depth
The thickness and texture of a canvas print add an artistic quality to images, creating depth and richness that flat paper prints or posters can't match. This gives the feel of fine art gallery work.
Whether you're looking to preserve family memories, showcase your photography, or add a personal touch to your home or office decor, canvas prints are a great way to bring images and art to life.
Do canvas prints come with a frame?
Our canvas prints are designed to provide a modern, frameless aesthetic, so they do not require an additional frame.
Instead, each canvas is expertly hand-stretched around a wooden frame, creating a clean and professional "gallery wrap" finish.
This means the canvas wraps around the sides of the wood frame, leaving no exposed edges, for a sleek look that’s ready to hang right out of the box.
For those who love the simplicity of frameless art, this style works beautifully in both modern and traditional spaces.
However, if you’d like to add a frame for a more customized look, our canvas prints are compatible with most floating frames or decorative external frames that can be purchased separately.
How do you hang a canvas print?

Materials and Quality
What materials do you use for your canvas prints?
At CanvasFab, we pride ourselves on using only the highest-quality materials to ensure your prints are vibrant, durable, and professional-grade. Each canvas is made from fine art-grade, poly-cotton material that balances texture and durability, providing a premium surface for stunning image reproduction. We use advanced giclée printing techniques and archival-quality inks to guarantee exceptional clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy.
The finishing touches include hand-stretched canvas over kiln-dried wooden frames, ensuring a taut, smooth surface and long-lasting structure. Every detail of our craftsmanship is designed to make your prints gallery-ready and built to stand the test of time.
Are your prints fade-resistant?
Yes, our prints are designed to resist fading and maintain their brilliance for years to come. We use archival-quality, fade-resistant inks that are engineered to withstand exposure to light and the elements without losing vibrancy.
Additionally, our printing process incorporates UV-protective coatings, which shield your prints from harmful sunlight and reduce discoloration over time. This ensures your canvas will look as fresh and vibrant as the day you receive it, whether it's displayed in a well-lit room or a gallery setting.
What type of wood do you use for the frames?
Our stretcher bars are made from kiln-dried pine wood, a material known for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to warping.
The kiln-drying process removes excess moisture, ensuring that your canvas stays taut and your frame remains durable over time.
The smooth finish of the wood also contributes to the clean, polished appearance of every canvas print, making it both functional and visually appealing.
Are your canvas prints eco-friendly?
Yes, we’re committed to sustainability and eco-conscious practices. Our canvas materials are sourced from environmentally responsible suppliers, and we use water-based inks that are free of harmful chemicals and solvents.
Our production processes are designed to minimize waste, and we package all of our prints using recyclable or biodegradable materials whenever possible.
By choosing CanvasFab, you’re not just investing in high-quality art—you’re also supporting sustainable practices that help protect the planet. We’re constantly seeking new ways to reduce our environmental footprint while maintaining the exceptional quality our customers expect.
