260gsm 100% PET ~ Proprietary Coated

Stretch Canvas

Our 100% PET 260gsm Stretch Canvas isn’t just another thin, budget canvas — it’s a game changer. While cheap art store canvases are often made from basic cotton, chalky gesso, and weak pine frames (prone to tearing, sagging, and warping), our Stretch Canvas raises the bar.

Made from premium 260gsm 100% PET with ACF’s proprietary coating, this canvas offers:

✅ Exceptional tear resistance — no more ruined surfaces when working with palette knives or heavy brushwork.

✅ Stable, warp-free performance — stays tight, smooth, and drum-like, even in changing environments.

✅ Ready-to-use surface — paints beautifully even without extra gesso, though it welcomes your preferred prep if desired.

It’s trusted by everyday artists, hobbyists, professionals, art schools, and Paint & Sip studios alike. Whether you’re just starting or creating gallery-ready work, this canvas delivers a reliable, premium surface that outperforms cotton and blends durability with creative freedom.

Experience why so many artists say they’ll never go back.

300gsm 100% PET ~ Proprietary Coated

Box Canvas

When ACF set out in 2013 to develop its first hero product, we weren’t aiming for just another deep-edge canvas — we were aiming for the best deep-edge canvas on the market. That ambition gave birth to the ACF Box Canvas, a 300gsm 100% PET masterpiece paired with our proprietary coating and engineered for unmatched strength, longevity, and artist satisfaction.

Here’s why this isn’t just any box canvas:

✅ 40mm Deep Edge (Box Profile): This canvas makes a statement right out of the box (pun intended). Its professional, gallery-grade depth means no framing is required — hang it straight on the wall, and it commands attention.

✅ Engineered for Strength: Forget about the weak inner edges you find on typical cotton or linen box canvases. The ACF Box Canvas has a specially beveled inner edge, ensuring the fabric never touches the frame, eliminating wear points and making it practically indestructible even under heavy layering, impasto, or mixed media work.

✅ 300gsm 100% PET Canvas with Proprietary Coating: Artists often fear synthetic canvases because they’re used to plasticky, slippery surfaces. Not here. The ACF Box Canvas gives you the grip, natural feel, and absorbency that rivals — or frankly, surpasses — linen, while delivering the unbeatable durability and dimensional stability of PET. Your brushwork, palette knife, and layering techniques will flow effortlessly.

✅ Perfect for Professional Artists and Heavy Applications: This canvas is built for artists who demand more — from bold acrylic work to layered oil painting and even experimental textures. It’s made to handle the intensity, without sagging or losing tension over time.

✅ Sustainably Manufactured: ACF has never used cotton or linen, avoiding the common problems of those materials and embracing a more stable, eco-aware PET base.

✅ Trusted by Artists Since Day One: This is the canvas that launched ACF — it’s been through years of real-world artist testing and development, and it continues to be one of the most beloved, reliable choices in the ACF lineup.

260gsm 100% PET ~ Proprietary Coated (Watercolour)

Watercolour Canvas

For watercolor artists, the surface you paint on makes all the difference — and ACF’s 100% PET Watercolor Canvas (260gsm) is a game changer. It’s designed specifically for artists who crave the delicate touch of premium cotton watercolor paper but want the strength, longevity, and resilience of canvas.

Here’s why this canvas rewrites the rules:

🎨 Tailored for Watercolor Artists: This isn’t just a standard polyester canvas pretending to be watercolor-ready. It has a specialized proprietary coating developed by ACF to mimic the absorbency and behavior of high-end watercolor paper — so your washes flow beautifully, colors stay vibrant, and blends are seamless.

💧 No Warping, No Buckling: Traditional watercolor paper can buckle or wrinkle under heavy washes or multiple layers. Our Watercolor Canvas stays perfectly flat and tight, holding up under even the wettest techniques without compromising the surface.

✅ 260gsm 100% PET Base: Lightweight yet incredibly strong, this canvas offers exceptional durability. Artists like Amit Kapoor have called it revolutionary — finally, a canvas that offers the control and feel of paper but with far greater longevity.

🖌️ Vibrant Color, Smooth Flow: Whether you’re laying down delicate glazes, bold wet-on-wet passages, or detailed linework, this surface gives you full control. It doesn’t resist or repel the paint like traditional polyester; instead, it welcomes it, opening up creative possibilities.

♻ Built to Last, Designed Sustainably: Like all ACF products, the Watercolor Canvas is made with care — no cotton, no linen, no compromise. It’s part of our mission to redefine the canvas experience for modern artists, combining advanced materials with unmatched performance.

🌟 For Artists Who Dream Bigger: This canvas is ideal for watercolorists looking to break out of the limitations of paper and into a format that offers durability, display-ready presentation, and a fresh sense of possibility.

260gsm 100% rPET ~ Proprietary Coated

100% Recycled PET Canvas

The world’s catching on to rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) canvases, but let’s be clear: not all are created equal. Brands like Mimik and Phoenix Arts offer eco-friendly rPET options, but many artists still hesitate — why? Because while the sustainability is appealing, the texture often feels artificial, the coating can be too slick, and the overall experience doesn’t match the rich, responsive feel of traditional or premium synthetic canvases.

That’s where ACF’s rPET Canvas changes the game.

Here’s what makes it a standout:

🌿 100% Recycled PET with Premium Build

We’ve taken the same proprietary coating and performance standards from our top-tier Box Canvas and applied them to this fully recycled version. Artists get the exact same stability, coating, and medium versatility — but with the added environmental bonus of using post-consumer recycled PET bottles.

🖌 Artist-Loved Natural Feel

Where typical rPET canvases can feel overly smooth or plasticky, ACF’s rPET canvas surprises artists with its slightly rougher, more natural surface — even compared to our traditional Box Canvas. This texture gives brushes, palette knives, and other tools a satisfying “bite,” delivering a tactile, responsive painting experience.

✅ Durable, Archival, and Stable

Like all ACF canvases, the rPET version maintains drum-tight tension, resists humidity changes, and holds up under heavy layering, impasto, and mixed media. It’s designed not just to match but to surpass the performance of conventional cotton or mass-market rPET canvases.

🌍 For Artists Who Care About Impact Without Compromise

Our rPET Canvas isn’t just for eco-conscious artists — it’s for artists who want both eco-responsibility and uncompromising quality. Whether you work in oils, acrylics, mixed media, or beyond, you can trust this canvas to carry your vision with the same resilience and beauty as our flagship products.
