The step by step PicFlick printing & packaging process
Printing
Stretching
Quality Control
Packaging
Labeling
Delivery
The high res photograph is loaded onto the equipment for printing on either Fine Art photo paper or canvas. For the stretched canvas options, the printed artwork is then stretched over precise frames. The photographic artwork is then assessed for any imperfections before packaging to ensure you get the very best. We then package in either the rectangular boxes if the order is a stretched canvas or in a protective tube for the rolled print option should you wish to frame the artwork yourself. The protective packaging gets the necessary labels and delivery information. We ensure efficient and reliable delivery with our delivery partners covering worldwide delivery.
Packaging
Through partnering with wildlife and non profit organisations it was required to supply sustainable, zero plastic and eco friendly material. PicFlick is proud to be a supporter to the global cause for being 100% sustainable.
