How to Store and Showcase Your Prints

Short Summary

This article explains how to store and showcase your prints for Stackhouse customers and helps you choose the right next step before ordering or contacting support.

Quick Answer

Store prints flat or safely rolled in clean, dry conditions away from direct sun, moisture, and handling damage. Use archival handling and framing/display methods when possible.

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.
