When you order a personalised artwork from Beyond a Word, your piece begins an incredible journey—from your imagination to our studio in Noosa, Queensland. Many customers don’t realise just how much love, craftsmanship, and detail go into every print we create. Let’s take you behind the scenes.
Step 1: Your Idea Takes Shape
Every piece starts with your story. You browse our gallery of 200+ designs, select your favourite, and customise it with names, dates, quotes, and colours. This is where your artwork becomes uniquely yours.
The moment your order comes through, our design team gets to work. Using your details, we begin crafting a digital layout that reflects your personality and vision.
Step 2: The First Proof — Delivered Within 48 Hours
We take great pride in offering some of the fastest and friendliest design turnaround times in Australia. Within 48 hours of placing your order, you’ll receive your first proof via email.
This draft lets you see your artwork before it’s printed. We encourage feedback — whether it’s adjusting colours, moving words around, or refining the layout. Many customers love this collaborative stage, and we love working with you to make it perfect.
Step 3: Premium Materials for a Premium Finish
Once approved, your design moves into production. Everything we create is made with the highest quality materials to ensure a flawless finish and long-lasting durability.
We use:
- 100% cotton artist-grade canvas, known for its ability to hold colour vibrantly
- UV-resistant inks, ensuring no fading even in sunlit rooms
- Kiln-dried timber frames, which prevent warping over time
- Italian-made frames, for customers who prefer a framed fine-art finish
- World-class printing technology, producing crisp, rich, precise typography
This combination ensures every piece that leaves our studio is gallery-quality.
Step 4: Hand-Stretched, Hand-Finished, Hand-Crafted
After printing, our team carefully mounts the canvas onto a handcrafted timber frame. This process ensures the canvas is perfectly stretched, smooth, and evenly tensioned. Corners are folded neatly and the back is secured to create a strong, long-lasting frame.
Everything is inspected meticulously. We make sure:
- colours are consistent
- text is sharp
- canvas tension is perfect
- framing is secure and flush
Only when it meets our standards do we prepare it for shipping.
Step 5: Careful Packaging & Shipping Australia-Wide
We wrap every artwork with protective materials to keep it safe during transit. Whether you’re ordering from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Hobart, or overseas, we ensure your artwork arrives in pristine condition.
Customers in Noosa or Booragoon can collect their orders locally — great for last-minute gifts or saving on shipping costs.
Behind Every Artwork Is Passion
What makes Beyond a Word special isn’t just our designs or materials — it’s our commitment to craftsmanship and meaning. Every member of our team understands that personalised wall art isn’t just décor; it represents memories, relationships, and moments our customers want to honour.
When your artwork arrives, you’ll feel the love that went into it.
