No matter how much I write about this subject, I still keep getting asked the question, what is bleed on canvas prints?

Bleed or “Gallery wrap” as it is known is simply when your image goes around the side of the wooden frame. The canvas print example below shows an image with bleed added and one with a white edge.

If you want bleed adding to your canvas print and are worried you will loose some of your photo, do not despair. At Canvasdezign, we take the last 2 inches of your photo and mirror it in order for you not to loose any of the picture from the front of the canvas print.

If we feel your image is not suitable to have bleed on it, we will let you know before we proceed any further.

Blank edged canvas prints. These are exactly what they say they are. Your canvas prints will have a white edge and no image.

I hope this shows the difference with wrap or no wrap
