Where can I buy extra push-in pegs and grid paper?
Pictures float 1/4" off the wall – surrounded by a soft shadow.
The attractive push-in pegs, machined from solid aluminum, have a satin finish that complements other silver hardware (stainless steel, satin nickel, and chrome).
The pegs look so cool, some customers leave the grid exposed.
The photographic prints are mounted on 1/8" (3mm) hardboard with a black edges.
Thick paper sockets grip to pegs in the wall.
With multiple connection points, Collagewall pictures stay level and don't shift when knocked.
You position the paper template, mark where the push-in pegs go, insert them, then hang the pictures. It’s really that easy.
A 3' x 5' Collagewall takes about 30 minutes. And once completed, the grid never needs to be adjusted. Hanging and rearranging photos takes seconds.
We include the pictures, a paper template, painter's tape, and pegs. You supply a tape measure or level.
For hard plaster walls only, you’ll need to have a drill and 1/16" or 3/64" drill bit.
We ship to Canada.
Note that the prices you see on the website are USD.
For now, we only ship to U.S. and Canadian customers.
To get around this, some customers use a re-mailing service.
The ready-to-hang pictures come in eight standard sizes picked to fit together with 1" margins.
They just don’t fit together into a good looking collages. Our online system lets you crop your digital photos into our sizes to make perfect collages.
Most customers spend between $120 to $350 (USD). For exact pricing, browse the examples.

Go to Your stuff and click on the collage you've already ordered. Duplicate the collage then edit this new version, rearranging and adding pictures. When you order it, remove the pictures and parts you already have.
You'll want to use the highest-resolution versions of your digital photos:
3 megapixel (2000 x 1500 pixels) and higher resolution is needed for the large 11x11" and 11x17" pictures.
1 megapixel (1000 x 1000 pixels) and lower resolution images should be printed as small (5x5") pictures.
Nothing larger than 20 MB please.
The files can be JPEG or PNG format images, but not RAW or TIFF.
Typically not. The trick is to:
If you're working with a limited number of traditionally-sized photos (like scans of old photographs), you may be in for a puzzle. But, as the writer for a 2010 New York Times' article concluded, the end result can be stunning.
Either way, after the collage is designed, everything else is easy – unlike making a traditional photo wall.
9 feet wide by 3 feet high is the largest recommended size.
Taller grids are possible but more difficult to install. Our paper templates are up to 3 feet tall so you must carefully align two sheets on the wall to make it work.
Longer grids are physically possibly, but our online editor does not support them now. You can always order multiple Collagewall displays and join them together.
In the past, we have printed custom templates for custom stairway installations, but it's a painstaking process and we're unable to continue this add-on service.
We do have a few stairway templates that may match the slope of your stairs: Template 7223, Template 7440 and Template 7438.
For hard plaster walls, you will only need to pre-drill holes before tapping in the pegs.
For brick wall and concrete walls, you must first anchor a some kind of board to the wall, then attach the pegs to the board. To see how you might do it, view Backer Board Solutions.
Yes. Any of the 5" high pictures can use the removable, thick paper stands.
Great. They are traditional (silver-halidide), high-resolution (320 dpi) photo prints on Fuji Archival Paper. These are not inkjet prints.
The lustre finish looks great and minimizes glare.
At least 26 years before any noticeable fading or changes in color balance, under typical indoor display conditions, according to a 2007 study by Wilhelm Imaging Research, a leading authority on photo longevity. (View source and look for "Fuji Crystal Archive Paper" numbers.)
Photos are pressure mounted to black-edged hardboard (Masonite) using a strong, acid-free adhesive that will hold for years without reacting with the photo print.
Actual print stability will vary according to printed image, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. We cannot guarantee the longevity of prints.
