Ever felt that traditional canvas or metal prints lack the depth or luminosity you wanted for your treasured photos? While these prints have their merits, acrylic photo printing offers a level of clarity, brilliance, and depth that's truly unparalleled.
Acrylic photo prints are perfect for modern homes and offices seeking a sleek, contemporary touch. Displaying your favourite photos this way has a wow-factor like no other and is something you really need to see for yourself to fully appreciate. Images of acrylic prints that you see on the internet just don’t do them justice.
With that said, we are certainly going to try!
In this article, we are going to look at some of the best services for acrylic photo prints, as well as discuss important considerations when choosing where to have your photos printed. When you turn your photos into art, they should look stunning for centuries!
Best Services for Acrylic Photo Prints
1. Posterjack
We started making our Acrylic Prints back in 2012 and since then, we’ve produced well over 40,000 Acrylic Prints for Canadians across the country.
We’ve invested countless hours in perfecting the Acrylic Print and refuse to cut corners, so we will always provide you with the best print you can buy. We use OPTIX 99.9% optically-pure acrylic that is 1/4”-thick.
We cut each piece of acrylic using a Swiss-made digital cutting machine for perfectly-honed edges and the print quality is unsurpassed on our high-end swissQprint system. Posterjack is the only photo printing company in Canada who has invested in and uses this top-of-the-line technology. It’s the highest-quality direct-to-acrylic printer in the world!
Available in 35 different sizes and multiple hanging and framing styles to choose from, you'll be able to display your favourite photos exactly how you'd like, whether that's an extra large statement piece, part of a gallery wall display, or as a smaller print displayed on your office desk.
Even better, the longevity of a Posterjack Acrylic Print is second-to-none. The materials we use result in a premium piece of photo art that has been design to last for over 200 years.
But the proof is in the pudding! Here are some photos and reviews our customers have shared of their own Posterjack Acrylic Prints.

2. Black’s
Black’s offers acrylic photo prints in sizes ranging from 8”x10” to 30”x40”. Their prints are 1/8”-thick and the wooden hanging block that is installed on the back of the acrylic will make the print float about 0.75” from the wall.
3. Canvas n’ Decor
With about 25 different sizes offered and a few hanging options, Canvas n’ Decor is another print service that offers photos printed on acrylic. They use 1/4”-thick acrylic and their online design tool allows their customers to add text to their images.
4. BestCanvas
BestCanvas offers acrylic prints in 10 sizes. Customers can choose no hanging option, which is ideal for those who plan to install their own frame, or a hanger plate can be selected during check-out for an additional fee. Their acrylic is 3mm (just under 1/8”-thick).
Tips on Choosing an Acrylic Photo Print Service
With so many options to choose from, how do you decide which print service will create the best acrylic prints? Here are a few things to keep in mind.
The thickness of the acrylic makes a difference. The thinner it is, the more flimsy it will be. If you want the best quality acrylic photo print that will stand the test of time, opt for something that is at least 1/4”-thick.

The materials, equipment, and processes that the print service use are other huge contributors towards getting the best acrylic photo print possible. For acrylic prints that will look crisp and vibrant for decades down the road, make sure the acrylic is optically pure and that the inks used are archival-quality which will ensure your prints will be fade-resistant for a lifetime.
Does the printing company offer sizes and hanging options that works for your image and decor style? Even if you’re only planning to print one photo on acrylic now, it’s a great idea to choose a print service that has a variety of options. This way, if you decide at some point down the road that you’d like to add more acrylic prints to your space, you have the option of doing so and will know that you’re going to get the same quality prints you originally received.
What do their customers think? Before choosing an acrylic photo print service, check out customer reviews and photos. You can search on social media to see photos the company has been tagged in and, in many cases, the print service will also share customer reviews and photos directly on their website.
