Genie Canvas was developed with moving and shipping large artwork in mind. Large crates or boxes are difficult to make, hard to carry and are vulnerable to damage. They are also very expensive to ship. Genie Canvas takes aim at all of these issues by creating a patented canvas system designed from the beginning with shipping and quality in mind. 

​

Genie Canvas is designed to be assembled and taken apart as often as you like. The hinged crossbars and endbars are easy to insert during assembly, easily removed during disassembly for shipping, while the longer sides are pre­stapled during manufacture. This allows the canvas to be rolled around a slotted 4 inch diameter tube, which neatly stores the crossbars inside during transport. The rolled canvas is then slid inside a sturdy 6 inch tube for shipment. 

​

All necessary packaging ­ tubes, foam sheeting, plastic bag and pre­made hanging wire are included when you order a blank Genie Canvas. There is no need to buy or make boxes or crates when you are ready to deliver or ship your Artwork. Your finished painting is easily assembled WITH NO TOOLS and ready to hang by the patron or gallery in under 5 minutes. 

​

The decreased shipping dimensions reduce shipping costs of larger works to a fraction of delivering a fully stretched canvas. A 48”x72” inch painting in a box will cost around $700 to ship from NY to LA since it must travel as freight. The same Genie Canvas will be about $40 for the same trip via FEDEX Ground. A 48x72” travels from London to Madrid for about 55 British Pounds.
