What Is Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Printing?

Gallery-wrapped canvas prints offer a sophisticated touch to artwork and photographs. Unlike studio-wrapped prints, gallery wraps fully stretch the canvas over wooden frames, resulting in a seamless, continuous image with no exposed frames or staples. Experts utilize high-quality tools and archival inks to create clean and elegant prints. Framing is optional but can complement the gallery-wrapped aesthetic. At The Stackhouse, we specialize in gallery-wrapped canvas prints using premium materials to enhance the beauty of your artwork.
