Prints

Can I order a printed catalogue of your Art-prints?

Our prints are sourced from all over the world and number in the thousands! Additionally, our database is constantly being updated and a printed version would be out-of-date almost immediately!

Digital catalogues can be accessed from our website: https://imagevault.co.nz/catalogues

We do carry a range of catalogues that are available to our trade and wholesale customers.

How accurate are the colours?

We do our best to provide an accurate colour representation - however, as all monitors are calibrated differently, we cannot guarantee that the colours will be exact. Our prints are of a very high quality. The resolution is much higher that what you see on screen and therefore the colours are generally clearer and more vibrant than any online representation.

How long will it take for me to receive my print?

For loose prints allow 3-5 working days for dispatch and 1-3 days for delivery. For framed pictures, as there are so many prints and frame combinations they are not always in stock, so please allow 7-12 working days for dispatch and 1-3 days for delivery. Please choose your frame carefully as we do not take returns on framed pictures.

Do you have a physical store?

We are located at 231 Lichfield Street, Christchurch. We have a small gallery on site with a few images on display. We have stockists all over New Zealand. Please contact us and we can refer you to the nearest retail outlet.

How accurate are the dimensions?

The sizes listed may vary slightly. We strongly recommend that if you buy print only that you do not arrange framing until you receive your prints.

Decals

Where can I buy the Decals?

Wall Decals require a smooth (not textured), clean and dust free surface. If your wall is freshly painted, please wait 3-4 weeks to ensure the paint is properly cured. We do not recommend applying the decals to paper but almost any non-porous surface is suitable - doors, cupboards, fridges, laptops, glass, metal ...and of course, walls!

How do I apply my decal to a wall?

It is important that your wall surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Ensure the wall has been thoroughly wiped to remove all dust or dirt before applying the decal. We recommend not to apply it to textured surfaces or damp walls as the decal will not adhere properly. If your wall is freshly painted allow at least 3 weeks for the paint to fully cure before you apply the decal.

  • Decide where you want to apply the decal and ensure the decal is level.
  • Peel a small section of the backing paper off at the top of the decal and stick this part in place.
  • Slowly pull the rest of the back paper off, while at the same time using a soft, clean cloth to smooth the decal into place. Pushing out any air bubbles as you go.
  • If the decal’s new location is not quite right you can peel the decal off and start again.

When applying or removing a large decal we recommend that using two people is beneficial.

Once Ordered how long does it take for me to receive my Decal?

As there are so many colour and size combinations in the decal range sometimes they are not always in stock. Please allow 7-12 working days for dispatch and 1-3 days for delivery.
