If you’d prefer an environmentally-friendly solution the next time you need a Gallery Wrap for one of your customers be sure to choose products from our extensive range. Our stretcher bars use basswood harvested from rich, abundant Canadian forests using only sustainable practices. For example using thin sticks results in a lot more yield from each board of wood harvested so our bars use less than half the wood to achieve the same look, resulting in less trees being cut. Also the mills that supply the basswood are FSC approved with all wood-dust and shavings being recycled.
And don’t forget currently most gallery wraps are still outsourced so they must be shipped individually to each customer. This results in a lot of freight and fuel expenditure as well as wasted packaging which ends up as landfill. By making the wraps where the consumer is already going saves a large amount of freight and fuel. Plus of course the utilization of in-store labour to produce the wraps is both good for the environment and it helps your local economy.
