Wrapped Canvas vs. Modern Poster Print: Kids' Wall Art Compared

Two ways to put kids' art on the wall

When you want to display your child's artwork, two popular options from Plum Print are the Wrapped Canvas and the Modern Poster Print. Both let you turn a favorite drawing or photo into custom wall art, but they differ in construction, size options, framing, and price. This comparison uses only the supplied product information to help you decide which fits your space and budget.

Neither product is inherently better; the right choice depends on how you plan to hang the piece, whether you want a ready-to-hang format, and how much you want to spend. Below we break down the key differences so you can make an informed decision.

Wrapped Canvas: construction and options

• Wrapped Canvas: Custom canvases using your child's art, awards, photos and more! Image wraps around all 4 sides. The wrap-around image gives a finished, gallery-style look without needing a separate frame.

  

• Wrapped Canvas: Scratch resistant with wood fiberboard and a plastic frame for support. This construction suggests durability for handling and display, though no specific care instructions are provided.
• Wrapped Canvas: Available sizes: 11" x 14", 16" x 20", and 24" x 36". These sizes cover small to large walls, but the lack of a framing option means the canvas arrives ready to hang as-is.

Modern Poster Print: construction and options

• Modern Poster Print: Print your favorite image on a beautiful, high-quality poster print! Add custom text to make it extra special. The poster format allows for added text, which can be useful for names, dates, or short messages.

  

• Modern Poster Print: Available sizes: 11" x 17" and 18" x 24", with or without framing. You can choose a framed version for a ready-to-hang piece or an unframed print if you plan to frame it yourself.
• Modern Poster Print: Catalog price: USD 10.00 (comparison price USD 20.00). The poster is the lower-cost option, especially if you select unframed.

Side-by-side: size, framing, and price

• Size options: Wrapped Canvas comes in 11" x 14", 16" x 20", and 24" x 36". Modern Poster Print comes in 11" x 17" and 18" x 24". The canvas offers a larger maximum size, while the poster's sizes are slightly different in aspect ratio.
• Framing: Wrapped Canvas has no framing option; the image wraps around the edges for a finished look. Modern Poster Print can be ordered framed or unframed.
• Price: Wrapped Canvas is priced at USD 29.00 (comparison price USD 58.00). Modern Poster Print is USD 10.00 (comparison price USD 20.00). The poster is significantly less expensive, though framing may add cost if you choose that option.
• Durability: Wrapped Canvas is described as scratch resistant with a wood fiberboard and plastic frame for support. The poster's material and durability are not specified in the supplied information.

Which one suits your space and budget?

If you want a ready-to-hang, gallery-style piece with a more substantial feel, the Wrapped Canvas is a strong choice. Its largest size (24" x 36") makes a statement on a big wall, and the wrap-around image means you don't need to buy a separate frame. However, it costs more and only comes in three sizes.

If you're budget-conscious or prefer the flexibility of framing yourself, the Modern Poster Print is a practical option. It's available framed or unframed, and you can add custom text for a personal touch. The poster's smaller maximum size (18" x 24") might suit a nursery or a smaller wall, but it may not fill a large space as well as the canvas.

Consider where you'll hang the art: for a nursery, either works, but the canvas's scratch-resistant surface might be more forgiving in a child's room. For a temporary display or a rental where you want to avoid nails, the unframed poster can be tacked up or framed later. Neither product's supplied information includes hanging hardware or care instructions, so check the packaging when it arrives.

Decision guide: match the product to your needs

• Choose Wrapped Canvas if:: You want a durable, ready-to-hang piece with a wrap-around image, and you need a larger size (up to 24" x 36"). It's also a good fit if you prefer a canvas texture over a paper poster.
• Choose Modern Poster Print if:: You want a lower-cost option, need custom text, or prefer to choose your own frame. The framed version offers a ready-to-hang alternative, while the unframed version is versatile for DIY framing.
• Consider both if:: You have multiple pieces of art to display—mix a large canvas with smaller posters for an eclectic gallery wall.
