About pod framed canvas
Canvas is a type of fabric made out of cotton or polyester. It is often used by painters because of the great durability, and as such is also well suited for printing. The texture and the heavy-duty feel provides authenticity to any design.
As mentioned, canvas is the name of the material, but multiple print products can be made from it. Arguably the most popular of those are the stretched canvas, sometimes called traditional canvas. Individual pieces of wood are combined in a rectangular frame, and then the canvas fabric gets put (stretched) onto that frame. Note that this is not a decorative outer frame - an inner frame is purely functional. The final product has depth & presence, sort of like a painting, but with a printed design.
Stretched canvas are ready-to-hang on their own, but it doesn’t mean that this is the only way to display them. You can take it to the next level by selling print on demand framed canvas. We offer the so-called floating frames for stretched canvas, which are a bit different than, say, frames for posters. The most noticeable feature here is that there is a space between the edges of the canvas and the inner edges of the frame. That is what creates the “floating” effect. Also, you may notice that these frames do not have glass of any kind (such as plexiglass).
Our website features canvas frames in three finishes - black, gold, silver. For other options, feel free to reach out to us!
