Premium Framed Prints

Our solid wood frames are made from sustainably grown Australian hardwood.

We offer five configurations: Rolled (paper or canvas), Classic Frame, Deep Set Frame, Stretched Canvas, and Stretched Canvas with Profile Frame. All frames are available in White, Raw Oak and Black. See our framing page for more info.

Currently we only produce and ship framed prints within Australia.

Shipping framed items internationally from Australia is unfeasible and difficult for a number of reasons. Firstly, the costs are extremely high given the dimensions and size of framed items when they are packaged. Sometimes higher than the cost of the actual framed print. There are also challenges around quarantine (when shipping wooden frames) for many countries and complex rates of import taxes and duties (e.g. VAT in the EU) which are different for every country. These fees are payable up front, depending on the retail sale value of the item as well.

We can offer a quote for international shipping on request.

Please note; we do not include an invoice with Unframed - Rolled print orders. This generally avoids import taxes and duties.

Please see our framing page for more details.

All frames are professionally finished with a wire at the back, ready to hang. We do not supply fixtures due to the large variety of options for different walls. In Australia, the team at Bunnings or any hardware store can easily help you with fixture choices.

Our frames come with a museum grade Acrylic that goes by the brand name Plexiglass. Plexiglass is indistinguishable from standard glass but is lighter and virtually impossible to break, a big bonus for shipping and longevity.

Standard Glass is available on request for shipping within Western Australia only.

The advantage of standard glass over plexiglass is scratch resistance. The disadvantage is that regular glass is brittle and riskier to transport.

All of our premium framed prints ship directly from our printer in North Perth, Western Australia.

Framed prints are generally ready for collection or dispatch within 10-15 business days. Then allow additional time for shipping depending on your location.

Shipping times to most major Australia metropolitan cities is less than 5 business days. Allow up to 5-10 business days more for regional and remote locations.

Please allow more time for production and shipping during peak seasonal periods like Christmas. 

Canvas

Unframed - Rolled - canvas prints are shipped rolled up in a tube. 

We use the highest quality archival UV lacquered canvas.

Epson Eclipse Premium Satin canvas, 420gsm.

Our canvas prints are "mirror wrap" where the image stops at the canvas edge and the sides to be wrapped are a reflection of the main image.

The size that you order will be the size of the main image. The mirror reflections will add 40mm of printed image to each edge of your canvas. The mirror reflections will be marked with black lines (in each corner) to help guide stretching.

Please see our Canvas page for more info.

An additional frame, about 10mm wide, is placed around the stretched canvas.

The frame will add 20-30mm to the width and length of the listed size. 

The Profile Frame is 10mm wide x 55mm deep.

We offer our profile frame in White, Raw Oak and Black.

Stretched canvas with profile frame is only available for shipping within Australia. 

Yes!

Generally, all of our images can be printed much larger on canvas than fine art paper. Canvas is a lot more forgiving on image details and will look good at larger sizes. 

We can print larger on canvas than what is listed on our website.

If you have a large space to fill, inquire about our large format canvas prints.

Please send us an email prints@saltywings.com.au

Stretched canvas is stretched around a wooden frame. The frame is strung at the back and ready to hang. 

All stretched canvas and framed canvas prints are professionally finished with a wire at the back, ready to hang. We do not supply fixtures due to the large variety of options for different walls. In Australia, the team at Bunnings or any hardware store can easily help you with fixture choices.
