Buying guides
Buying guides for custom frames, canvas and boards
These guides help you choose the right size, material and finish before you order a made-to-order frame, canvas or board from ArtzFolio Custom. Each guide is short, written in plain words, and uses only what is true on our live site.

What is a soft board?
The names for pinning boards, and what each really is.

Good to know before any guide
Everything on ArtzFolio Custom is made to order. Nothing is held as ready stock, so each piece is printed and finished after you order it. Most orders are crafted and dispatched in 4-7 business days (larger or more complex pieces may take a little longer, and the timeline shown at checkout applies), then about 3-7 working days in transit across India. A GST tax invoice is issued for every order.
How we keep these guides honest
Each guide uses only facts that are on our live website: the sizes and rate-card prices, what each product is made of, how long orders take, and what happens if something arrives damaged. We do not make up ratings or promises. Where something is not available at the moment, such as acoustic panels or wooden-stretch canvas, the guides say so. If you spot something that looks out of date, tell us.
Not sure where to begin?
If you already have a picture in mind, open the design studio, enter your exact width and height and watch the live price. If you want ideas first, browse the ArtzFolio Library or the collections. Read why customers pick us on Why ArtzFolio.
