Building an at-home business
In 2014, we embarked on our print business venture from the confines of our spare bedroom. With a modest setup comprising a couple of printers and a cluttered desk, we began our journey.
Balancing full-time employment and university commitments, we dedicated our evenings to fulfilling orders, often resorting to utilizing the kitchen table as our packaging station. Despite the demanding schedule, the business was a family effort, with all of us pooling our efforts and resources.
Looking back, we never envisioned our small print business, born as a side hustle in a makeshift office, would blossom into what it is today. It's a testament to the power of determination, collaboration, and the unwavering support of family.
leaving the nest
As our print business continued to thrive, it became evident that our family home could no longer contain our operations. The basement, once a storage haven, had transformed into a bustling production hub, but even its walls seemed to close in on us.
Recognizing the need for expansion, we made the pivotal decision to transition into a commercial space. Just a short three-minute drive from our original family residence, we found a suitable location to house our growing enterprise. With the move came the imperative to expand our workforce. We enlisted the help of outside family members and friends.
This transition marked a significant milestone in our journey, propelling us from a humble home-based operation to a formidable presence within the print industry. The newfound space and resources provided us with the platform to scale our business and reach new heights of success.
Redefining Canvas Standards
As our print business flourished, so did our ambitions. While content with our regular prints, a burning desire to venture into large-scale art began to consume us. However, as we explored the market for canvas prints, we found ourselves disheartened.
Canvas prints, albeit popular, often fell short in quality. They were prone to blurriness and pixelation, cumbersome in weight, and posed risks with their staples that could damage walls and even pose hazards to children.
Determined to solve these pressing issues and revolutionize the canvas print industry, we embarked on a mission. We envisioned a lightweight, large canvas that could be effortlessly mounted in seconds without causing damage to walls. Our goal was clear: to create a canvas that not only surpassed traditional standards but also elevated the aesthetic appeal of any space it adorned.
And thus, the Whelhung canvas was born—a culmination of innovation, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication. Designed to exceed expectations, our canvas prints offer unparalleled quality, ease of installation, and a touch of elegance that transforms any room into a masterpiece.
