Short answer: send the original file at the largest size you have, the final picture size in inches, and the canvas finish you want. The frame sits over the edge of the picture, so keep text, logos and key detail away from the outer edge and confirm how much the frame covers at sampling.
What differs for wooden framed paintings
| Item | What the live page publishes | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Final size | Reference sizes 12 x 12 to 28 x 28 inches; any other size to brief | Width x height in inches, as the picture (inside) size |
| Canvas finish | Cotton canvas gloss, matte or satin; polyester matte; or handmade paper | Name one finish. The same file looks different on each, so approve the printed sample |
| Over the print | A lacquer coat is applied over the print | Do not add gloss or a varnish effect in the file; ask at sampling how the coat changes the look |
| Frame | Solid natural wood frame; six standard frame colours or your own | Frame colour goes in the brief, not in the artwork file |
| Hanging | Hanging fittings are in place | Say portrait or landscape so the fitting is placed correctly |
Example final sizes
The table shows five sizes inside the published reference range in inches and centimetres. Send the final size you want in inches; the factory confirms what file it needs for your size.
| Final size (inches) | Final size (cm) |
|---|---|
| 12 x 12 | 30.5 x 30.5 |
| 16 x 16 | 40.6 x 40.6 |
| 20 x 20 | 50.8 x 50.8 |
| 24 x 24 | 61 x 61 |
| 28 x 28 | 71.1 x 71.1 |
