Premium Canvas Sizes
While many artworks are versatile enough to be produced in different sizes, some pieces work best at a particular scale. For instance, some digital artwork looks best on a smaller scale due to resolution issues, while an intricate abstract piece with an unclear focal point generally works better on a larger scale.
Luckily, we offer nine sizes for you to choose from for your canvas products. You’re able to offer your customers a wide variety of sizes so they can choose the scale that will work best with their space. Just make sure you know how to properly prepare your art file for printing, which includes using our size guide that helps find the right image pixel size based on the canvas size you want.
If you’re not sure whether your artwork or photograph will look good displayed on a canvas, try multiplying each individual canvas size measurement by 100. This will leave you with the minimum image pixel dimensions, which will be the best sizes for a print on canvas. For instance, let’s say you want to sell your work on a 90x120cm canvas. Multiply 90 by 100 and 120 by 100, which means the image pixel dimensions should be 9,000x12,000 for a high-quality print.
Is There a Best Type of Canvas?
There are a couple of important aspects to consider when determining the best types of canvas. First up, you should be familiar with the two most common fabrics used to make canvas, which are linen and cotton. Cotton is the best option in most cases as it’s cost-effective without compromising on quality. In other words, it’s strong, stretches perfectly, and it’s lower maintenance and more environmentally friendly than linen.
PrinTribe’s Premium Canvases are polycotton, which is a mix of polyester and cotton that provides additional strength and durability. Polycotton also gives the perfect amount of absorbency to ensure bright, vivid colours every time.
The second thing to know before choosing canvases is in relation to weight. A general rule of thumb to remember is that the heavier the canvas, the more tension it can take when being stretched. This means a heavier canvas won’t rip as easily as a much lighter one. To help you understand the weight of the canvas and its weave, get familiar with the term “gsm” which stands for “grams per square metre”. Any canvas that is 350gsm or above is considered high-grade, which is what you’ll find in the PrinTribe Premium Canvas range.
Here's what you’re getting when you order a canvas product from our premium range:
The perfect frame is like the ultimate finishing touch, giving your work a more polished look. A frame adds charm and can really connect an artwork to the décor or mood of a room. It’s for this reason that most of your customers will love being able to order your work pre-framed. It means they don’t have to do it themselves, and they can choose their ideal frame that not only complements the artwork, but also their personal style.
Let's dive into that next!
Make Your Artwork Pop with Frames
No matter if you’re creating and selling digital artwork or traditional oil paintings, there’s always a frame that will make your piece pop even more than it already does.
At PrinTribe, you’ll find a wide range of frame mouldings to customise your work. Let’s take a closer look at the options you can choose from:
If you also want to offer your artwork without moulding, you can order a Premium Stretched option. This means that the canvas is gallery-wrapped around a 38mm raw timber stretcher bar, giving your piece a clean, classic, and unframed look.

Wrap, Send, Hang
Once the printing process of your Premium Canvas product is done and dusted, your masterpiece is then wrapped with care using padded corners and bubble wrap for protection, before being shipped off to your customer. From there, they can hang their new artwork at home with ease thanks to our user-friendly hanging fixtures.
Within our Premium range, each canvas is installed with a solid D-ring and wire, hence why you can call your prints from PrinTribe “ready to hang”. We consider the size of each canvas and install the D-ring and wire accordingly to ensure a seamless, balanced hang.
Your customers will feel much more satisfied with a ready-to-hang piece, as they don’t have to take time out of their day to find a ring and wire, tediously install it themselves, and try to balance the artwork on their wall. Everything is done for them!
