Material Details & Care Instructions
Poster Print
Premium matte photo paper with archival-quality coating. Vivid color reproduction with a smooth, non-reflective finish that ensures easy readability from any angle.
Best For
- Funeral services and visitation displays
- Home display in a frame
- Sharing copies with family members
- Budget-friendly memorial keepsakes
Care Instructions
- cleaning
- Gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid water or cleaning products directly on the surface.
- storage
- Store flat in a protective sleeve or between acid-free tissue paper. Avoid rolling for long-term storage.
- humidity
- Keep in a climate-controlled environment. High humidity can cause warping or ink bleeding over time.
- framing
- We recommend framing under glass or acrylic for long-term display. Use UV-protective glass to prevent fading.
Canvas Print
Gallery-wrapped cotton canvas with archival pigment inks on a 1.5-inch wooden stretcher frame. Museum-quality finish ready to hang — no additional framing needed.
Best For
- Permanent home display as a wall centerpiece
- Heirloom-quality keepsake to pass down
- Meaningful gifts for close family members
- Living rooms, hallways, or memorial spaces
Care Instructions
- cleaning
- Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and pat dry immediately.
- storage
- If storing temporarily, wrap in a clean cotton sheet and keep upright. Never stack heavy items on top of canvas.
- humidity
- Display away from direct sunlight and areas with high moisture (bathrooms, kitchens). Canvas can absorb humidity over time.
- framing
- Already gallery-wrapped on a stretcher frame — ready to hang as-is. A floating frame can add an elegant finishing touch.
Foam Board Sign
Smooth-finish foam board with vibrant UV printing, lightweight and easy to transport. Rigid structure stands independently on an easel for prominent display at services.
Best For
- Funeral reception and chapel display
- Memorial service entrance signage
- Event signage at celebrations of life
- Easy transport to multiple memorial locations
Care Instructions
- cleaning
- Wipe gently with a dry cloth. Avoid moisture — foam board is not water-resistant.
- storage
- Store flat in a dry location. Keep away from heavy objects that could dent or crush the board.
- humidity
- Not recommended for long-term display in humid environments. Best for indoor use in climate-controlled spaces.
- framing
- No framing needed — designed to stand on an easel or lean against a wall. Can be placed in a large poster frame for added protection.
