Paper vs framed vs canvas vs acrylic vs metal posters
Choose paper (300 GSM art board) for the lowest price and for gallery walls, framed if you want it ready to hang, canvas for a textured fine-art look, acrylic for glossy, high-contrast colour that sticks to the wall with no nails, and metal (1 mm aluminium) for the most durable, waterproof option for kitchens, bathrooms and desks.

How to decide in one minute
Start with the wall and the budget. If you are covering a large wall with several prints, paper keeps the cost down and lets you swap posters as your favourites change. If you want one statement piece, pick the material whose finish you like: textured (canvas), glossy and glass-like (acrylic), or sleek and tough (metal).
If the room is humid or splash-prone, such as a kitchen or bathroom, metal is the material built for it. If you do not want to hang anything yourself, framed prints arrive ready to hang and acrylic sticks to the wall without nails.
What each material is made of
Paper posters are printed on 300 GSM art board with OEKO-TEX certified inks. Framed prints are laminated over the same board in a 1 inch black or white frame. Canvas is poly-canvas stretched over a wooden frame. Acrylic is a 3 mm glossy UV-printed sheet. Metal is 1 mm aluminium with magnets for mounting.
Every print is made to order and shipped across India. Artwork on the site is fan art unless stated otherwise.
Questions
- Which poster material lasts the longest?
- Metal is the most durable: 1 mm aluminium with a glossy finish, waterproof and suited to kitchens, bathrooms and desks. Acrylic (3 mm) and framed prints are also sturdy; paper is the most affordable and the easiest to replace.
- Which is cheaper, a canvas or a paper poster?
- Paper is the cheapest format. Framed, canvas, acrylic and metal cost more; the table on this page shows the current starting price of each.
- Do acrylic posters need nails?
- No. Acrylic prints stick to the wall without nails. Paper posters come with adhesive strips, canvas is ready to hang on its wooden frame, framed prints come framed, and metal is magnet-mounted.
