APC Options

Artist's Choice

Overwhelmed? Take the pressure off you and slap it on an expert.

• Ideal when you’re on the edge about which option to choose or just want a recommendation from an expert
• Our imaging experts choose the edge treatment (Image Wrap, Reflected Edges or Color Edges) that works best for your image
• Our selection factors in your image’s subject and composition as well as the size and shape of your canvas order

Image Wrap

For images that are too good to be contained by four corners.

When you choose “Image Wrap,” the top, bottom and sides of your image will wrap around the edges of the stretcher frame. Image Wrap results are stellar when one or more of the following is true:

• You’re ordering a pretty big gallery wrap, say 24” x 24” or bigger
• There is plenty of “expendable” background on all four sides of your photo
• You don’t mind if parts of the primary subject of your image wrap around the canvas edges
• You composed your image with an Image Wrap in mind
• You’re a professional who has factored the Image Wrap into your digital file, prepared and sized according to our guidelines

Reflected Edges

A sleight of hand to make your image “gallery wrap ready.”

“Reflected Edges” preserve the original composition of your image on the face of the finished canvas. The outermost portions of your image (at the top, bottom and sides) will be “reflected” to create additional image area specifically for the gallery wrap edges.

Reflected Edges may be the ticket for you if:

• You crave the artistry of a gallery wrap but are averse to using any of your existing image to wrap around the sides
• Parts of people or pets in your photo are not very close to the edges.

Color Edges

Sometimes you just want to color outside the lines.

When you choose “Color Edges,” we’ll apply any color you like to the edges of your gallery wrapped canvas.

• Perfect if you want the clean, modern look of solid color edges
• Works well if you need your entire image to appear on the front of the canvas versus bleeding over on the edges

If you have mustered up the materials, tools and expertise to stretch your own gallery wraps, then you’re going to need some extra image beyond the “live area” for those gallery wrap edges.

We’ll serve it right up when you order your canvases “Unstretched” and tell us the depth of your stretcher frames. And we’ll still give you our customary 2” of additional unprinted margins on all four sides so you’ll have plenty of extra canvas to grab with your pliers.

Matte Finish

For a completely glare-free presentation of your photo on canvas, choose Matte Finish.

Gloss Finish

To give your colors extra “pop” and make the texture of your canvas stand out, choose Gloss Finish.

Dust Covers
(from $5.00)

Our canvas prints are safe from even the largest dust bunny. But some professional photographers prefer to present clients with an attractive dust cover because the look is more consistent with traditionally framed photo products. That’s why we’ve created a canvas-compatible Dust Cover for our gallery wrapped canvas prints that includes:

Integrated Easels
($7.00)

Let your canvas take a load off with way more pazazz than a picture frame!

Sawtooth Hangers
(Free)

Every APC gallery wrap arrives ready to hang with standard hanging hardware installed, consisting of sawtooth hanger(s) and clear rubber bumpers that offset the hangers, protect your walls, and stabilize your canvas.

But if you’re looking for something different, we also offer three premium hardware options to meet your needs.

Hanging Wire
($7.00 Installed)

If you’d like a traditional hanging wire for your gallery wraps, select the Hanging Wire option and we’ll expertly attach one for you.

Self-Leveling Hangers
($10.00 Installed)

This ingenious new hanging system helps you nail a perfect installation every time! Forget about those level, precisely measured marks you usually need to position picture hooks for a large piece of art. Our Self-Leveling Hangers allow a pretty big margin of error in both horizontal and vertical nail placement, so now you can pretty much “eyeball it” — and you'll still end up with a perfectly level installation! Ideal for all panoramas and any gallery wrap exceeding 24" in width.

Security Hanging Hardware
($15.00 Partially installed)

Keep your canvas on lock down in areas where sticky fingers or high traffic are a concern. When you choose the Security Hanging Hardware option, we’ll prepare your canvas accordingly and supply the additional hardware you need for a totally secure installation.

Digital Proofs
(Free)

Digital proofs aren't customary since we carefully check each image to make sure it’s well suited to its canvas order before it's ever created. We also aim to ship every order within 2 – 3 days of receiving it. But we also want you to be elated with your canvas print. So if you want a digital proof before we make your canvas prints — you've got it. Just let us know at checkout.

Your Brand Delivery
($6.00)

Listen up pro photographers and artists – we can ship directly to your customers and include your marketing materials — all the while saving you time and money.

This pro-level perk means that:

Gift Messages
(Free)

Put the cherry on top of your thoughtful canvas print — whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, holiday or other special occasion.
