Wall Art and Canvas Terms for Private Label Buyers


13 wall art and canvas terms defined from the live range page: gallery-wrapped, stretcher bars, floater frame, lacquer coat, rolled canvas, sunboard and more.

Short answer: wall art terms on the live range page name the build of each piece, so a brief can use the same words the factory uses: type, print surface, frame style and hanging fitting.
