Key takeaways
  • A stretched matte canvas prints up to 60 x 20 inches (18000 x 6000 px at 300 DPI). Here is how the 1.25 inch wrap changes your layout.
  • Largest print area is 60 x 20 in.
  • The outer 1.25 inches wraps onto the sides and is not visible from the front.
  • Keep all important content inside a safe area at least 1.5 inches in from every edge.
  • Either extend the background so it wraps naturally, or accept a mirrored edge — a hard crop at the fold looks like a mistake.

Canvas has a hazard no flat print has: the edges wrap around the frame. Roughly an inch and a quarter of your artwork disappears onto the sides, so anything composed to the file's edge loses its border entirely.

Placement that survives the real product

  • Largest print area is 60 x 20 in.
  • The outer 1.25 inches wraps onto the sides and is not visible from the front.
  • Keep all important content inside a safe area at least 1.5 inches in from every edge.
  • Either extend the background so it wraps naturally, or accept a mirrored edge — a hard crop at the fold looks like a mistake.

The rule that overrides every chart: print areas are the maximum, not the target. Most strong designs use 70–85% of the available width and sit slightly above the geometric centre, because that is where the eye expects them on a worn or photographed product.

Questions

Quick answers.

What size should a canvas design be?

Up to 60 x 20 inches at 300 DPI (18000 x 6000 px), but keep key content 1.5 inches inside every edge.

How much of a canvas wraps around the edge?

About 1.25 inches on this blueprint. That portion is visible from the side, not the front.

How do I stop my design being cut off?

Extend the background outward so the wrap has something to carry, and keep type and faces well inside the safe area.
