Because this question is always coming up, we thought we’d rerun this blog post from last September to help answer any questions:
Our personalized growth charts are available in our signature poster paper and our thick, fine artist canvas — and we’re often asked, what are the pros and cons of each material? So, we thought we’d put this post together to help you figure out which of our personalized growth charts makes the most sense for you and your little one.
We’ll start with our beautiful signature poster paper growth charts. These wall growth charts are printed on a heavy weight, matte finish paper — with bright, long lasting archival inks. Paper growth charts are less expensive than canvas, so they make a great gift or are affordable wall décor for your little one. Our poster paper is thick, however paper can tear if your little one is excitable and has a tendency to handle the growth chart roughly.
Our canvas wall growth charts are printed on a thick, fine artist canvas with a matte finish — printed with the highest quality, eco friendly archival inks. Our canvas growth charts include aluminum grommets in each corner for easy display. Canvas is a bit more expensive than our paper option, however our thick canvas is more durable with little fingers and little people. Our cotton canvas personalized growth charts can also be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth if they get dirty. And lastly, personalized canvas growth charts are durable long lasting keepsakes of childhood.
Here is what our fine artist’s canvas looks like, along with an aluminum grommet.
Whether you choose paper or canvas, we suggest displaying your personalized growth chart in a place that isn’t in permanent, direct sunlight. We suggest using a fine-tip permanent marker to write on your wall growth chart.
