Read the guideUNFRAMED ROLLED CANVAS / MADE IN AUSTRALIA
Your artwork printed on canvas and supplied rolled, ready for stretching or framing by your own framer. Every print carries a 6 cm mirrored wrap on each side and roughly 3 cm of white canvas beyond that for handling. The size you choose is the main image; the wrap and white edge are added to it.
Upload your TIFF, JPG, PNG or WebP to replace the sample. The white edge is a working allowance, so it is not cut perfectly even. Screen colour and canvas texture can differ from the finished print.
UPLOAD / PREVIEW / ORDER
Choose the main image size, preview the mirrored wrap, then order with the same uploaded file. The canvas arrives rolled in a tube.

ROLLED CANVAS QUESTIONS
The practical side of putting your art into the world.
One canvas print, rolled in a tube with the printed side protected. It is not stretched and there is no frame, stretcher bar or hanging hardware. The main image is the size you chose; around it sits a 6 cm mirrored wrap on every side, then roughly 3 cm of white canvas.
The mirrored wrap continues your artwork around the edge of the stretcher, so nothing from the main image is lost when the canvas is pulled over the bars. The framer folds the mirror over the sides and staples into the white allowance, then trims the excess.
The white canvas beyond the mirror is a working allowance for the person stretching the canvas, not part of the finished piece. It is cut generously rather than perfectly square, and your framer trims it away.
Choose the finished image size you want on the wall. The wrap and white edge are added on top of that size, so a 50 × 70 cm print arrives as a sheet of roughly 68 × 88 cm. Standard sizes are priced online; ask for a quote for anything else.
Yes. If you want it finished and ready to hang, order the same artwork as a framed canvas print and we stretch it and set it in a floating frame here.
Upload a TIFF, JPG, PNG or WebP up to 200 MB, ideally 300 ppi at the final image size, in sRGB with the profile embedded. The 6 cm mirrored wrap is added outside your selected main image size, preserving your full artwork. You do not need to remove a 6 cm border from your artwork. Only upload artwork you own or have permission to reproduce.
