Which material is best for your photo collage?

· 4 min read

The same design looks different on every material. Here's how poster, canvas, acrylic glass and aluminium dibond compare, so you can choose with confidence.

Poster: light and affordable

Printed on matte fine-art paper. A poster is the most affordable choice and looks beautiful in a frame you already own. Great for kids' rooms, student homes or when you like to change your walls often.

Canvas: warm and ready to hang

Canvas is stretched on a solid wooden frame and has a soft texture. It feels warm and homely, and it doesn't reflect light, so it works in any spot. A favourite for family collages in the living room.

Acrylic glass: deep and luminous

Behind glossy acrylic, colours look deeper and brighter. It's our most striking finish and gives a collage a gallery feel. Tip: hang it where there's no direct sunlight on the glass to avoid reflections.

Aluminium dibond: crisp and modern

Rigid brushed aluminium gives crisp detail and a clean, modern look. It's sturdy and stays perfectly flat, even in large sizes. Lovely in a hallway, an office or a modern interior.

Still in doubt?

Choose canvas for warmth, acrylic glass for wow, aluminium for a modern look and a poster when budget matters most. You can switch material in the last step without changing your design.
