Where do you produce your artwork?

The Print Emporium's exclusive artwork range is all proudly designed in-house and custom printed and framed to-order in Australia. Our head office is based in Melbourne. For our Australian customers, we offer stretched ready-to-hang canvases, along with unframed or framed art prints. All our painted looking prints are from our original paintings, and we now sell high quality reprints as either a canvas or art print (framed options available). If you look up close you will see the brush strokes from our artists' brush.

Live outside of Australia? Worldwide shipping is available on all (unframed) Art Prints and also (upon request only) Rolled Canvases (un-stretched).

Do you ship internationally? And if so, which items?

Yes! But as listed above, currently for international customers we just offer our Art Prints (unframed) and (upon request only) printed Rolled Canvases (un-stretched), shipped in protective mailer tubes. This is due to the size/weight of framed bulky items, and also wood fumigation issues (in certain countries) as we use quality timber framing for both canvases and framed prints, we aren't able to cater to sending them overseas, we do hope you understand.

Just email us at hello@theprintemporium.com.au should you have any q's or custom requests.

What framing options do you offer? (Australian customers only)

Stretched Canvas: a ready-to-hang canvas print which is stretched (canvas fabric) on 40mm wooden timber stretcher-beams, and with mirrored artwork on the side edges, which means we have mirrored the artwork so it wraps around the edges when stretched, creating a seamless design when looking from a side angle. There is a choice of adding a 50mm deep deluxe shadow box floating frame option in either NATURAL OAK, or WHITE or BLACK painted smooth finish genuine wood, creating a deluxe gallery look finish. There is 10mm gap between the edge of the canvas and the floating frame on each of the four sides, wrapping your artwork with the sophisticated timber floating frame and adding an instant high-end luxe look to your chosen piece. There is hanging wire and D-rings on the back, making your canvas ready to hang when you receive. When you select a floating shadowbox frame option , the finished overall size will be approx 4 cm larger than the listed sizing, in H x W due to the floating box frame around your canvas.
