Caring for printed canvas - 2

When handling our canvas prints please note some precautions:
  • They crease easily - do not fold or squash
  • stretched canvases can be easily damaged at the corners - very difficult to repair !
  • When shipping please pack so that the container / carton / tube can be kicked for about 5 metres in a game of warehouse soccer without suffering a puncture.
  • handle stretch frame by the edges. a firm grasp over the canvas will leave indentations. So will any soft furnishings which raise the canvas in the middle of the frame. This is especially true when leaving the picture on the back seat of the car
  • sharp edges such as table corners and paperweights are death to canvas - avoid resting anything on the canvas - like a book, magazine or toddler.
