Unframed prints will be shipped to you in a heavy duty postal tube, ensuring no damage to your artwork.
When you receive your print in a postal tube, it is a good idea to lie it flat until the paper completely relaxes out, making it easier to frame. A clean carpeted area (where it can’t be stood on) or a large table or bench. Handle very gently, lying flat and face upwards, underneath something flat and heavy if necessary. Leave for a couple of hours and it should then relax more and make it easier to frame.
For best results for unframed prints that you purchase for your budget frames (from Kmart, Spotlight, IKEA etc) it is a good idea to have a framer mount your artwork on foamcore board, which doesn’t cost much. This will ensure it always looks amazing and will not wrinkle – even in a ready-made budget frame. There is nothing more annoying than have it sag or get waves in it! This can happen if you buy a print and put it straight into a budget frame without ensuring it is totally flat and if, for example, your home has evaporative cooling. Moisture in the air can make it wrinkle if not stuck down.
With some of our images, we offer you the more option of having white borders (not a mat) as part of the artwork. We love how it makes particular images really stand out and ‘pop’! Don’t worry, adding white borders, won’t make your print bigger – the whole print will still be the size you order!
If you’d like prints for some frames you already have, please send us a message and we can let you know if we can make the design fit into your existing frame.

Every effort is made to portray images accurately, without filters. If we have shared a picture on our website where a customer has added a filter, we will make mention of this on our website. Screen colour/display settings vary from device to device and can affect the way colours appear. For example – iPhones tend to make images ever so slightly warmer and more pink/vibrant than in “real life”.
FRAMED CANVAS
The canvas we use is 80% cotton, 20% polyester. The polyester is added to give greater tension across the image so it doesn’t sag over time. The stretcher bar is plantation grown pine and is durable, strong and environmentally friendly.
Choosing a size
Hopefully, our size guide on our product pages should give you a good indication of how the measurements look, but we are also happy to make recommendations if you send us a photo or video of the room/space you wish to decorate.
We don’t charge any extra to help you choose the right size and artwork, and are even happy to source or create something special for you!
Budget frames from retail stores
Whilst you can purchase ready-made MDF frames from many places, they are not made to last like our custom-made, solid timber frames, but if you are on a budget or like to change your art often, they might be a cheap and practical option for you.
For example, the most common places that stock ready-made frames for our sizes are are Kmart, Spotlight and your local variety store.
Purchase your frame first or make sure you contact the retailer to make sure they are in stock. Unfortunately, we can’t exchange or refund if your frame size is incorrect, as your print is custom made, just for you.
