38×28mm Pine Gallery Wrap Stretcher Bars
Colors Art manufactures 38×28mm pine gallery wrap stretcher bars for professional canvas printing, photo canvas, stretched canvas and wall art production.
The profile combines a 38mm frame depth with a 28mm wood width, providing the deep side appearance required for gallery-wrapped canvas while helping control frame weight, timber use and production cost.
Standard and custom lengths, cross bars, OEM specifications and wholesale production are available for canvas printing factories, framing companies, distributors and private-label canvas brands.
38×28mm Gallery Wrap Profile
A 38mm-deep profile creates the substantial side depth commonly used for gallery-wrapped canvas. Compared with wider wooden profiles of the same depth, the 28mm wood width provides a more material-efficient option for commercial canvas production.
This makes the 38×28mm profile suitable for customers looking for a practical balance between gallery-wrap appearance, frame stability, weight and cost.
Designed for Professional Canvas Production
Commercial canvas printing factories often produce the same canvas sizes repeatedly. Consistent stretcher bar dimensions and reliable assembly are therefore important for production efficiency and finished frame quality.
Our gallery wrap stretcher bars are manufactured from kiln-dried pine with controlled profile machining, smooth surface finishing and precision joint processing. Different wood grades can be supplied according to customer quality and cost requirements.
Precision Joint Machining & Assembly
Accurate joint machining helps the stretcher bars assemble correctly and keeps the finished canvas frame square and consistent.
Assembly fit can also be adjusted during sample development according to the customer's production method. This is particularly useful for professional frame assembly, high-volume canvas production and OEM projects using established frame specifications.
Smooth Profile for Canvas Stretching
The wooden surface and edges are smoothly finished to reduce rough contact with the canvas during stretching.
The raised outer edge of the stretcher bar supports the stretched canvas away from the main wooden surface, helping maintain a clean finished appearance and reducing unwanted contact between the canvas and frame.
Cross Bars for Larger Canvas Frames
Larger canvas frames may require additional support to improve structural stability. Cross bars and supporting structures can be supplied according to the finished frame dimensions, stretcher bar profile and canvas tension.
For significantly larger or oversized canvas frames requiring greater structural strength, we recommend selecting a heavy-duty stretcher bar profile rather than relying only on additional bracing.
Gallery Wrap vs. Heavy-Duty Stretcher Bars
The 38×28mm profile is designed primarily for gallery-wrap canvas and commercial canvas production. Its key advantage is maintaining a 38mm finished frame depth while using a narrower 28mm wood width.
Heavy-duty stretcher bars are designed for applications where greater structural strength is the priority, particularly large and oversized canvas frames. These applications normally require wider or stronger wooden profiles together with appropriate cross-bar support.
Colors Art can recommend a suitable stretcher bar profile according to your canvas dimensions, stretching requirements and finished product positioning.
OEM & Custom Stretcher Bar Manufacturing
Standard and customized stretcher bar lengths are available. We can also manufacture wooden stretcher bars according to customer drawings, existing samples and technical specifications.
Customization options include profile dimensions, bar lengths, wood grades, joint structures, assembly fit, cross bars, dimensional tolerances, wooden wedges and packing requirements.
Samples can be developed and approved before mass production for customer-specific projects.
Quality Control for Repeat Orders
For professional B2B customers, consistent repeat production is just as important as initial sample quality.
Our stretcher bar quality control focuses on timber condition, straightness, profile dimensions, bar length, joint machining, surface finishing, assembly fit and packing consistency.
Approved specifications can be followed during repeat production to help maintain consistent quality between batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 38×28mm mean?
The profile has a 38mm frame depth and a 28mm wood width. The 38mm depth creates the deeper side appearance commonly associated with gallery-wrapped canvas.
Is 38×28mm a heavy-duty stretcher bar?
The 38×28mm profile is better positioned as a gallery-wrap stretcher bar rather than a true heavy-duty profile. For large or oversized canvas requiring greater structural strength, wider heavy-duty profiles and additional support should be considered.
Can you manufacture custom stretcher bar lengths?
Yes. Standard and custom lengths can be manufactured according to the customer's canvas sizes and production requirements.
Can cross bars be added?
Yes. Cross bars and additional support structures can be supplied according to frame dimensions and structural requirements.
Can you reproduce our existing stretcher bar profile?
Yes. Customers can provide profile dimensions, technical drawings or physical samples for evaluation and custom production.
Can you supply canvas together with the stretcher bars?
Yes. Colors Art manufactures inkjet printable canvas, artist painting canvas, wooden stretcher bars and canvas frames for professional B2B customers.
