Start Selling Mini Art Prints (Framed or Unframed): A Technical Walkthrough for Artists & Designers

Good things come in small packages.

Sometimes making a statement requires a closer look. Whether someone is trying to improve their office decor or fill an awkward entryway, our mini art prints are likely a great extension to any artist’s wall art offering. And they’re really easy to enable. We’ll use your previously uploaded creative so all you need to do is review the position of your artwork and enable each design within your Artist Studio.

With the framed option offering a depth of 1.25″ (3.2 cm), your mini art prints can be hung on a wall, on a cork board with a tack or just stand alone on desk or tabletop. For those looking for an even lower key look, customers can purchase your mini art print with a natural, unfinished wood stand option. Whichever way your customer goes, you can bet they care about the details as much as you do.

In this article we’ll cover all the technical details required to enable and sell mini art prints (framed and unframed) in your artist shop.

Important considerations for editing mini art prints

This can be a full-bleed art print! This means your artwork can fill the entire surface area (similar to posters). Within your product editor, you can take your print from edge to edge. Please make sure to fill the entire bleed area if doing using the template.

Create your own white matte by scaling down and leaving white space around your creative. Any white space you leave around your design will be unprinted (white). This allows you to take control of your preferred matte size.

Your default creative impacts the product editing experience. The orientation of your canvas within the product editor is determined by the pixel dimensions of your originally uploaded creative (aka your “default creative”). For any single creative, you can offer customers a square (1:1), landscape (4:3) or portrait (3:4) mini art print, but not multiple orientations.

To change the orientation of your product editor canvas, simply upload a new creative asset and our system will detect your preference. It will then adjust the canvas within your product editor accordingly.

Set your design, then scale your design up by one percentage point. If you are not using the template and intend to sell a full-bleed print, you can avoid unintentional white space on your print by scaling up your design by one percentage point. Basically, you want to be certain that your design fills the entire canvas area within the product editor.

Using the mini art prints template

If you’re interested in selling a portrait-sized print, rotate the landscape template. The dimensions between portrait and landscape are identical when rotated 90 degrees. It works both ways and the bleed, trim line and safe areas apply just the same.

Make sure to fill the bleed area. If you intend to sell an edge-to-edge print, make sure you’re not leaving a single pixel of empty space before uploading.

Download the mini art print template(s). It gives you greater control over mini art prints to create the best possible final product.
