Wall Art Order Brief: Type, Size, Artwork and Packing


A brief template for wall art and canvas: pick one of ten types, then size, artwork, print surface, frame colour, hanging fitting and packing. Free CSV.

Short answer: name one of the ten types, give the size and the artwork, and add the print surface, frame colour, hanging fitting and your label and pack plan. Send the artwork at the largest size you have, in its original file format, because a print can only be as sharp as its source. For a set, say how many panels and whether they are equal.
