How to Safely Unwrap a Rolled Print

Short Summary

This article explains how to safely unwrap a rolled print for Stackhouse customers and helps you choose the right next step before ordering or contacting support.

Quick Answer

Unwrap rolled prints slowly with clean, dry hands on a clean surface. Let the print relax naturally and avoid forcing the paper flat.

Before You Begin

• Know how the print will be displayed, framed, stored, shipped, or sold.
• Review size and crop before choosing finishing options.
• Contact support before ordering if you are unsure which product or finish fits the artwork.

How It Works

Review the print size guide. Review the crop tool guide.

Step 1: Start with the final use

Decide whether the print will be framed, sold, shipped, mounted, displayed, or stored.

Step 2: Choose the product family

Pick the paper, photo, canvas, mounted, packaged, or scanning workflow that fits the project.

Step 3: Review size, crop, and border

Make sure the image fits the selected size and presentation style.

Step 4: Contact support if unsure

Ask before ordering if material or finishing choice will affect a deadline, display method, or customer delivery.

Important Notes

• Finishing choices can affect crop, borders, packaging, and shipping.
• Display method matters: a framed print, retail print, canvas, and mounted print solve different needs.
• Review preview and edge treatment carefully before checkout.
• If the artwork has signatures or important edge detail, choose crop and borders carefully.

Examples

Example 1: Print will be framed

Choose paper, border, and size with the frame or mat opening in mind.

Example 2: Print will be sold or shipped

Consider packaged prints, mounted prints, or protective handling depending on the customer experience needed.
