Do you add a border around prints?

We add a 1-inch border to fine art paper prints and a 1.5-inch border to rolled or laminated canvas prints. For a larger border, adjust your image in editing software before uploading to ensure it fits your mat board requirements.

Default Border Sizes

Standard Borders

  • Fine Art Paper: We routinely add a 1-inch border to prints made on fine art paper. This border allows for easy handling and signing of your artwork.
  • Canvas Prints: For canvases ordered rolled or laminated, we add a 1.5-inch border to accommodate framing and display needs.

Customizing Your Border

Adding a Larger Border

If you require a larger border for signing or framing purposes:

  • Image Editing: You can create a larger border by adding it to your image using Photoshop or other image editing software before uploading it for printing.
  • Ensure Compatibility: When preparing your image, make sure that any borders align with your framing plans, especially if you intend to order mat boards that will require specific opening sizes.

If you plan to sign your print before assembling it into a frame, include your desired border size in the image data. This ensures that any mat boards you order will have properly sized openings to accommodate the signed area of your print.
