CANVAS STRETCHING
We offer stretching services for our canvas prints. We use a variety of stretcher styles, from lightweight units with a thin 3/4-inch profile to heavy-duty stretcher bars with a 1 3/4 inch profile. Heavy-duty stretchers make for an impressive presentation for prints that are not going to be framed. If you are planning on framing your canvas print, let us know and we will provide stretchers with a slimmer profile. Note that most stretcher bars come in 2-inch increments. Custom sizes are available, however it generally takes 3-4 weeks to have them made. Our stretching price does not include stretcher bars. Download stretcher pricing PDF.
Canvas stretching: $.04 per sq. in. (minimum $30)
