Canvas Frames (Stretcher Bars) and Framing Services

We offer 3 types of stretcher bars.Standard stretcher bars , 3D stretcher bar (type 1) and 3D stretcher bar (type 2)

What we call 3D stretcher bars are frames that are suitable for “gallery-wrap”. with a gallery-wrap canvas, the edges are painted, providing an attractive "3D" effect. The 3D stretcher bars are shorter than the length of the painted canvas area so that the paintings can be stretched over the edge of the frames.

Standard frames have the same size as the paintings and therefore have white edges over the frame. Difference of our Type 1 and Type 2 stretcher bars is that Type 1 is thicker (3cm) and Type 2 is thinner (1.8cm).

 

about

Note for 3D frames: (read if you want to have 3D frames)

- The thicker the 3D frames (1.8 cm or 3cm), the more
  3D effect the stretched painting will show, but the frames
  will be also smaller.
- Please make sure the theme you select does not have
  very important details at the edges, because the outer
  edge of the themes (1.8-3.0 cm) will be stretched over
  the edge of the frames.

Framing Services

We can stretch the Paint by Numbers canvas template over the wooden frame per your request.

After you have decided the theme, format of the Paint by Number product, you can order from here the framing service, and you will have the canvas ready stretched over frames delivered.

Please note:

1. The framing service is only available for the products that are delivered from China. Our German warehouse does not currently support framing service.
2. The framing service will only offer the Standard Frames and not the 3D frames. That means the edge of the frames will be blank/white.
3. For the customers who need to stretch the canvas by their own, please：
   - Contact your local oil painting accessory suppliers for frames or framing service.
   - Follow the instructions from us and do the stretching. It is not rocky science and every one shall be able to manage that.
