What type of photo should I use for a wall collage?
Landscape or abstract images work best for wall collages. Since we have to split the image in different locations portraits or close-up shots of objects tend to not work well in this format.
How do I hang it?
Some images require we remove a section in between each panel to ensure the image lines up so we may give you specific instructions on how to space each panel when hanging. Otherwise, you can decide how far apart you like each piece to hang, 2" is common. A set of beehive hangers is included with each canvas with instructions for easy installation.
How do I clean and maintain it?
The print is sealed on your canvas and will resist cracking and fingerprints. You can wipe it down with a soft cloth regularly and if needed a damp cloth to remove more serious debris. The canvas can be scratched and scuffed so please be careful when handling it. If it gets bumped and scratched you may try touching it up with felt-tip or art pens.
Can I see what it will look like in collage format?
Yes. You will always receive a free proof of your wall collage layout to make sure you are happy with how the image looks once split into multiple pieces. We'll also do up to three free revisions if you aren't quite satisfied and want to try something else.
What if I don't like the layout split into multiple panels?
We can change your order to a single canvas in the full size ordered if you aren't happy with the splits and will refund the difference in cost to you.
Canvas Press specializes in creating the highest quality canvas prints; otherwise, know as Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay") which is the process of making high resolution fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclee" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray."
At Canvas Press we know just how important your memories are. That's why we use the highest quality canvas, stretcher bars, and printers in the industry. We take pride in building you a treasured canvas that you'll be able to admire for many years to come.
On this page you'll find everything you need to know about our canvas wall collages. If you still have some questions after reviewing the details, just give us a call or send an email and we'd be more than happy to assist you in designing the perfect art piece for your home or office.
1.5" depth: This size is our most popular depth. It the perfect proportion for most any size canvas you wish, adding a beautiful presentation to any image.
2" depth: Some images just demand a little extra substance to make them truly elegant. The 2" depth can make an image stand out boldly for a brilliant presentation.
3" depth: The 3" depth is not for all sizes; however, if you want to make an impressive statement about your large canvas, then the 3" will definitely delight.
Borders on wall collages are setup just like single canvases. We've created a variety of simple border styles that will ensure you get the most of your gallery wrap canvas. Since each image works best in different ways when split into various panels we often overlap the inside edges or remove sections of image to ensure when hung separately it will line up. Choose the border style you'd prefer and if needed we'll send other options with the proof of your final layout.
Image Border: We print the image larger than the finished size and use it to wrap around the sides. This works well for images with a lot of excess room around the subject.
Mirror Border: When important aspects of your image extend close to the edges this option allows us to copy and flip the ends of your image to create a mirrored duplicate on the sides. This creates the illusion of an image wrap without losing important detail on the face of the canvas.
Color Border:Also great for closeup images, especially portraits where a mirror border will cause the subject to look distorted on the sides. You can select any color you desire and this can serve as a nice accent to your photo.
While a photo may be worth a thousand words, adding a few more in may be the icing on the cake. Include a signature or caption to your printed image, or a heartfelt message, poem or quote to get just the right sentiment across.
Our various font options will help you match the style that your image and text require, and choose any color, location and size you like. We'll make sure that it will be readable and if it doesn't appear to be so we'll contact you with ideas on how to make it work.
The site limits your input to 125 characters but for special projects we can accommodate more. Include the first 125 characters to set the font, size and starting position, then make a comment on the order that you are sending the full text separately. Send us an email with text in its entirety and we'll finish setting up your order.
