Custom Prints
Most of what we sell is on the site already, but walls are particular. If you need a print in a different size, a set planned for one room, or a vintage image you have seen somewhere and cannot find, we can often help. This page explains what custom work we take on and how it runs.
What we can do
Custom sizes
Our standard sizes are 12 by 18, 20 by 30, and 24 by 36 inches. Within reason, and within the proportions of the original artwork, we can print many of our designs at other sizes: a long narrow wall, a frame you already own, a matched pair at the same height. Tell us the dimensions you need and the design you have in mind, and we will confirm what is possible before you pay anything.
Framing options
Custom prints can be framed in the same 0.75 inch Ayous wood as the rest of the catalog, in Black, White, or Red Oak, with a clear Acrylite front and hanging hardware attached. Our Framing Guide shows the finishes.
Sourcing a vintage image
If you have seen a vintage poster, map, book cover, or illustration and want it on your wall, send us what you know: a photograph, a link, an artist's name, a date. We work from vintage and public domain sources, and if we can locate a print quality version of the image, we will prepare it the same way we prepare our own catalog. If we cannot find it at a quality worth printing, we will tell you that instead.
Sets for a room
Planning a whole wall or a whole room is easier with help. Send us the room's dimensions and a photograph if you have one, and we will suggest combinations and sizes, the way our Gallery Walls page does for three of our own series.
How it works
Email support@vintageprintproject.com with the image or a description of what you are after, the size you need, and whether you want it framed. We will reply with what is possible and a quote. Before anything is printed, you will see a digital proof of the final image and layout, and we print only after you approve it. Custom orders are made to order like the rest of our prints: once the proof is approved, please allow 5 to 12 business days for delivery. Many prints include free shipping, confirmed at checkout where it applies; for custom work we confirm any shipping cost in the quote, before you commit.
A few limits
If you supply an image yourself, you need to hold the right to reproduce it. We are glad to print vintage and public domain artwork, family photographs, and your own art; we cannot print copyrighted modern work, and we do not offer restoration of physical originals. If a request falls outside what we can do, we will say so plainly and, where we can, point you in a better direction.
For businesses
Designers, stagers, hotels, and offices ordering in quantity should look at our Trade Program, which offers preferred pricing on Vintage Print Project prints for commercial projects. Custom sizes and sourced images can usually be folded into a trade order; mention it when you apply.
To start, write to support@vintageprintproject.com. The more you can tell us about the wall, the image, and the deadline, the faster we can give you a straight answer.
