Wooden Canvas Frames — Pre-Cut Frames for Stretched Canvas

A canvas frame is a pre-cut wooden frame in a standard size, ready to take a stretched canvas or a canvas print. The buyer is usually a framer, an art-supply wholesaler or a print shop that stretches and frames in volume, and the specification that matters is the inner size - the opening the canvas sits in - followed by the bar section and the corner joint.

This group is where the trade side of canvas framing actually lives. The retail market is full of custom-print and framing services; the trade market needs standard frames in quantity, with the inner size stated accurately and the carton count published. The models here are pine and fir frames in standard sizes, and the pages carry a size table so a buyer can check an inner size against the range before ordering.

What buyers check first

  • Ask for inner and outer size together: inner is the canvas opening, outer is what has to fit a shelf or a customer's frame, and the difference is twice the bar.
  • Confirm the bar width and depth in millimetres, and whether the rebate takes a standard stretcher.
  • Ask how the corners are jointed and whether wedges or keys are included.
  • Get the units per carton and the carton weight before comparing unit sizes.

FAQ — Canvas Frames

What inner size canvas frame should I stock?

Standard canvas sizes cluster around a handful of formats - roughly 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm, 50 x 70 cm and the larger 60 x 90 cm and 100 x 100 cm - and most trade ranges stock two or three of those rather than every size. The inner size is what the buyer matches to the canvas, so the range should be chosen against the canvases the customers actually bring in. The model pages state the inner size and the bar section, and where a size is missing from the record we confirm it per batch rather than publishing a nominal size.

Are wedges included with the frames?

It depends on the model, and the record states it where the supplier records the fittings. A stretcher frame needs wedges or keys to tension the canvas, so a frame sold without them is incomplete for a framer. If the wedge is not in the record, treat it as confirmed per model and ask before the order. This is the kind of small part that decides whether a repeat order happens, and it is worth putting in writing with the first order rather than discovering afterwards.
