About
Canvas Galore is a small canvas printing and framing studio in Goodwood, Cape Town. We've been turning South African photos into wall art since 2023 — 1,000+ walls and counting.
Why we started
Every printer in the country was good at printing. Almost none of them were good at the rest — the picking, the stretching, the framing, the bit where someone actually checks whether your favourite holiday photo is sharp enough before sending it to a press.
So we built a small studio that does the rest properly. One that uses a solid backboard on every frame (most don't). One that opens every image at full resolution and tells you when something won't print well — before you've paid for it, not after.
What you get from us
- 240gsm semi-gloss canvas, printed at high resolution on archival inks.
- Solid pine stretcher bars with corner wedges so your canvas stays taut for years.
- A solid backboard on every single frame. This is the cost most printers cut. We don't — it's the difference between a canvas that holds its shape forever and one that warps in winter.
- Hand-stretched in Goodwood by a small team. Each frame goes through human hands at least three times before it leaves us.
- A pre-print photo check — every order, no exceptions. If your image is too low-res for the size you've chosen, we'll WhatsApp you and help you pick a better one. We will not print something we know you'll be disappointed in.
Slim or Classic — choosing your frame depth
Same canvas, same print, same backboard. The only difference is how far the frame sits off the wall.
- Slim (12mm) — sleek and modern. Floats neatly off the wall. Best for gallery walls, hallways and minimalist spaces. From R150 per canvas.
- Classic (19mm) — bold and deep. The 'proper canvas' look with real wall presence. From R200 per canvas.
How it works
- Pick a combo or a single canvas. Sets are our specialty.
- Upload your photos right on the product page — the cropper lets you choose portrait or landscape per canvas, and locks the crop to the print proportions so what you see is what you get.
- We check every photo within the working day. If anything's off, we message you on WhatsApp.
- We print and stretch (2 working days standard, or 1 day with the Urgent option).
- The Courier Guy delivers nationwide — R150 flat, free over R2,499. Most orders arrive 2–5 working days after dispatch.
Our promise
If we made a mistake — wrong print, bad stretch, frame issue — we redo it at no cost, no questions. If you approved a print after we flagged it as low-res, the result is on you. Otherwise, 100% on us.
