Where is the best place and reasonable cost to get your photos gallery-wrapped?

Are you talking canvas?

I’ve had some work done at Nations. I was satisfied.

I have had some done at MPIX but rather expensive. I also had some done at a cheap place. Can't remember the name off the top of my head. It may have been CanvasDiscount. Senior moment. They were not near the quality of MPIX. I am sure you will get plenty of recommendations. Good luck and have a GREAT DAY!

For this, if you want a print that you will be proud of, Mpix or Bay Photo Lab.

If they are small prints, Bay Photo has done wonderful wraps for me. Larger canvas prints (3 or 4 ft and up) I have shipped rolled and have a local framer gallery wrap them. The cost of shipping oversized frames makes that a cost effective solution.

I don't usually recommend any place for prints, gallery wraps, etc., because what you get all depends upon what you give the printer to work with. And what you send to the printer might to not be the same as what I send. Having said that, I've used two places with results I'm pleased with. Giclee Factory http://www.thegicleefactory.com/services.htm is reasonably priced, does quick work, and provides great instructions regarding what they need to get your desired product. The last one they did for me was a 17"x40" rectangular 1 1/2 inch border wrap. I output the file to a TIFF from Lightroom in required dimensions. If you really want an extraordinary product, use RT Art. http://www.rt-art.com/ They are pricey, and they take their time. In both cases, the product was shipped on stretchers and did not add a lot to shipping cost. Giglee comes from Canada, RT Art is in Orlando. IMO you get what you pay for with these canvas wraps, but for me, it depends upon what I'm using it for. If it's a gallery display, use RT Art. If it's for my bedroom, use Giclee Factory. Pelicans are Giglee Factory and it's the rectangular one. The lures is RT Art and is 20"x 30" I always get 1 1/2" stretcher; it seems to give the piece a more solid look than the thinner 3/4". I also prefer the image goes all the way around, but a black border looks good as well. Good luck and enjoy!!

I just got in my email 65% off from Canvas On Demand. There quality is pretty great. And although expensive 65% makes it a worth it.

In day and age, when anything might be part of a creative piece, gallery-wrapping is a distraction. The sides of the piece are part of the piece. If, however, you intend to gallery wrap leaving the canvas on the side, most exhibition spaces and viewers would not mind.

Costco has done several for me and the results are very nice. Takes about a week for them to do the job. The best deal is when they have $10 off per canvas print - no limit!

I have used Easy Canvas Prints for several prints and like the results. Most were wrapped but I recently did one with black edges and found that equally nice. They always have sales.

I have always added an extension edge for clients who want the full print, by replicating the edge. Either via cloning or content aware fill.
