Buyer Guide
A procurement-focused framework for distributors, retailers, art brands, importers and educational suppliers reviewing stretched canvas programs. Return to the Resource Center and review our stretched canvas manufacturing options.
Procurement Framework
Start with the intended market, application and target price position. Cotton, linen and other approved canvas directions should be reviewed together with surface preparation, product presentation and packing requirements.
Canvas weight affects hand feel, surface presentation and the positioning of a stretched canvas program. Confirm the required weight range through samples and align it with the selected frame profile and intended use.
Profile depth and structure should be reviewed with canvas size, edge presentation and packing method. Standard and deep-edge programs may require different frame planning and assembly review.
Prepare the target size range, canvas material, frame profile, surface direction, label artwork and retail packaging requirements before requesting a project review. Custom requirements can be assessed by program.
Review inner protection, retail presentation, carton configuration, pallet planning and destination requirements together. Export packing and loading details should be confirmed before production planning.
A useful RFQ should include the product range, material direction, profile or edge depth, size range, packaging format, estimated quantity, destination and any private-label requirements.
