Your next product range could start with designs you already own. An illustration from your clothing collection, a pattern your customers recognise or photography from your brand can become wall art—without committing to shelves of unsold products.

Print on demand framed prints let you offer a finished, ready-to-hang product without buying frames or holding stock. With PrintShrimp, you design, list and market the artwork. We print, frame, pack and ship each order directly to your customer, white label.

For an existing ecommerce business, that means a way to extend your catalogue while keeping physical fulfilment off your team's to-do list. You can offer the same design as an unframed poster and a framed print, giving customers two ways to buy into your brand.

Give your customers another way to enjoy your designs

Wall art gives your brand a place beyond the products you already sell. A customer who likes your illustrations on accessories might also want one on their office wall. Someone buying from your homeware collection could choose a coordinating print for the same room.

The strongest starting point is a clear connection to your existing range, not an unrelated catalogue of generic artwork.

  • Illustration-led brands: turn original characters, botanical drawings or graphic artwork into a coordinated print collection.
  • Photography businesses: offer selected images as physical wall art alongside your existing products or services.
  • Home and lifestyle shops: create posters that complement the colours and themes of your current collections.

Choose artwork you own or have the appropriate licence to sell as physical products. Then start with a focused collection. You do not need to upload your whole catalogue to PrintShrimp before taking your first order.

Offer posters and framed prints from the same artwork

Unframed and framed prints serve different buying preferences. One customer already has a frame they love. Another wants the artwork to arrive complete, ready for their wall.

Offering both lets you meet those needs without creating two entirely separate design ranges. In PrintShrimp, the order determines whether the artwork becomes a print or a framed print; the same saved artwork file can serve either format at the matching size.

Option Why a customer might choose it What we fulfil
Unframed poster or art print They want to choose their own frame or use one they already own. We print, pack and ship the artwork.
Ready-to-hang framed print They want a complete product without arranging framing themselves. We print and frame the artwork, then pack and ship it with a hanging kit.

Our focus is posters, art prints, Fine Art prints and framed prints. We do not offer canvas. If you are expanding into wall art, build your PrintShrimp collection around these paper-based formats rather than canvas products.

Sell a finished product with clear quality details

A framed option needs more than a different product photo. Customers should understand what they are buying and why it suits their space.

Our framed prints use pine wood frames in Black, Oak or White, with 1–2mm shatter-resistant plexiglass. The artwork arrives already inserted, ready to hang, with a hanging kit included. We corner-protect and box framed orders for delivery.

Framed prints use matte paper to avoid the glare that satin or gloss can create behind glazing. There is no mount; if your design needs a white border, include it in the artwork file so it prints as part of the image.

For unframed products, our Premium archival-grade paper is at least 200gsm and 260gsm in most locations. You can choose matte, satin or gloss finishes.

Use these details in your product descriptions. Rather than calling every option simply “wall art”, explain the paper, frame colour and ready-to-hang finish. See our framed print specifications when planning your product pages.

Build your listings without starting every variation from scratch

Adding wall art should not mean rebuilding the same sizes, descriptions and product images for every design.

Our Bulk Lister brings those jobs together. You upload artwork, use a listing template, generate mockups and AI-written titles, descriptions and tags, then review and edit the results.

Built-in price recommendations give you a starting point. Easy Mode templates pre-fill recommended prices for Print Only, Black, White and Oak frame options. Recommendations are converted from GBP into your shop currency for you to review. You can adjust them to suit your brand rather than entering every price from a blank page.

For Shopify, “List to Shopify” downloads a product CSV for you to import into Shopify admin. It can also create the matching PrintShrimp products and print files. For Etsy, the tool creates draft listings for you to check and activate.

Mockups help show the collection in context before you buy stock—because there is no stock to buy. Choose scenes that make the artwork and framed options easy to understand, then check that your images accurately represent what customers will receive.

Connect fulfilment to the shop you already run

You do not need to move your business to a new storefront to use PrintShrimp. We connect with Shopify and Etsy, with CSV imports and an API available for other order workflows.

On Shopify, connect your store and use our fulfilment setup to match products by SKU and assign them to PrintShrimp. Orders reach us through fulfilment requests, and tracking returns to Shopify for orders sent through that route.

On Etsy, matching product SKUs link imported orders to your saved artwork. Etsy tracking sync can send tracking back and mark the order as dispatched when it becomes available.

Imported orders wait unpaid for your final check unless an applicable auto-pay workflow is enabled. You can review the artwork, size, frame colour and address before paying. Missing artwork or unclear choices are flagged for attention rather than treated as ready to print.

We fulfil orders without PrintShrimp branding, logos or packing slips. You keep control of your listings, marketing and customer relationships; we handle the physical product. Our team also offers free integration help if you need support getting connected.

Check costs and delivery before you launch

PrintShrimp fulfilment has no monthly fees, minimum order quantities or monthly minimums. Creating an account is free, and you pay for orders as you place them. Optional listing software subscriptions are separate.

Use our current pricing page to check the sizes, formats and destinations you plan to sell. Standard shipping is included for prints and frames in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and our listed EU regions. Rest of World deliveries carry a separate shipping charge.

Review your selling prices alongside your own platform fees, taxes, promotions and other business costs. Recommended retail prices are a useful starting point, but your final prices should fit your shop.

Set delivery expectations by product and destination, too. Framed prints usually take 1–3 working days to produce, followed by delivery. Production and delivery times are estimates, and frames are not eligible for Priority Shipping. The pricing page includes a delivery-date checker to help you plan.

Launch a focused collection, then build on it

You do not need dozens of designs to make wall art a useful addition to your store. Start with a small collection that belongs alongside your existing products, offer relevant sizes, and make the unframed and framed choices clear.

Before publishing, check that every offered size has suitable artwork attached. Different print proportions may need different files; one image will not automatically fit every shape without cropping. You can also place a paid order to your own address to see the finished product before promoting the range.

With poster print on demand and ready-to-hang frames, you can expand what your brand sells without expanding your stockroom. Your team develops the collection and brings in the customers. We make and deliver the orders.
