Every Canvas. Built By Hand. In New Braunfels, Texas.

This is not a fulfillment center. It is not a print-on-demand operation. It is a studio — and every canvas that leaves it was built by us, step by step.

Here is exactly what happens between your order and your doorstep.

Step 1 — We Print It

Every canvas is printed in-house on our wide-format archival printer using pigment-based inks — not dye-based. The difference matters: pigment inks are rated for 75+ years of indoor display without fading. Dye-based inks are not. Most POD operations use dye-based. We don't.

We print on heavyweight poly-cotton canvas with a matte finish. No poster-grade material. You will feel the difference the moment you unbox it.

Step 2 — We Stretch It

After printing, every canvas is hand-stretched over solid kiln-dried pine stretcher bars — not finger-jointed composite wood. Kiln-dried pine does not warp. Finger-jointed composite does, eventually.

Stretching is done by hand, corner by corner, with consistent tension across the full frame. This takes more time than automated stretching. It produces a better result.

Step 3 — We Frame It (Framed Options Only)

For pieces ordered with our floating frame, we build the frame ourselves from solid oak hardwood. The frame is hand-fitted around the stretched canvas with a deliberate floating gap — so the canvas sits inside the frame without touching the edges.

This is what gives it the gallery depth effect.

Step 4 — We Inspect It

Every piece is visually inspected before it ships. We check for print quality, tension consistency, corner fold integrity, and frame alignment. If it does not pass, it does not ship.

Step 5 — We Pack and Ship It

Each piece ships in purpose-built art packaging with corner protection inserts. Not a standard box with bubble wrap. Purpose-built packaging designed for canvas art, because canvas corners are the failure point in transit.

Production time is 3–5 business days. Shipping time varies by destination — most US orders arrive within 5–8 business days of the order date.

What This Means For You

When you order from Elevare Canvases, you are not ordering from a warehouse that fulfills on your behalf. You are ordering from the people who built your canvas, who inspected it, and who put it in the box themselves.

That is the only kind of canvas we sell.
