Contract Print & Dropship Services

Dropship Fulfilment for Artists & Brands

Athena Art has many years of experience delivering manufacture-on-demand and dropship fulfilment for artists, designers and creative brands. We specialise in producing and shipping third-party branded artwork directly to end customers, allowing you to focus on creating and selling your work while we handle production and logistics.

Our dropship service is ideal for both low-volume and high-volume fulfilment. Orders are produced to specification, professionally packaged and shipped quickly - without the need for you to hold stock.

Most dropship orders are individual artworks, including prints, framed prints and canvases. These are typically dispatched within 48 hours using an express courier service. European fulfilment is available via a 5-7 day tracked courier service.

  • Our Printing Technology

    We use professional Canon large-format giclée printers with 12-colour LUCIA pigment inks to deliver accurate colour, depth and detail. Every print is colour-corrected and finished with a Chroma Optimiser for a smooth, consistent result.

  • Inks

    Canon’s LUCIA pigment inks combine vivid colour with excellent durability and fade resistance. When displayed indoors, prints offer light fastness of up to 80 years behind glass, or approximately 50 years without glazing.

  • Print Media

    Our standard media is a 240gsm heavyweight matt paper, chosen for its balance of texture and colour reproduction. Gloss, textured and specialist fine art papers are also available following consultation. Maximum print width: 44” / 1118mm

  • Framing

    All frames are made in-house using high-quality solid wood or full-wrap MDF. Standard glazing is shatter-resistant styrene, with glass available as an option. Frames are precision-cut using computer-controlled machinery, hand-finished, corner-protected and individually shrink-wrapped for safe delivery.

  • Packing & Carriage

    We can dispatch artwork either:

    • Direct to end customers
    • In bulk to wholesale customers

    Artwork is packaged using purpose-designed protective materials and shipped via leading courier services with full tracking provided.

  • Labelling & Branding

    We tailor all accompanying documentation to reflect your brand, ensuring a seamless experience for your customers. This includes third-party paperwork for platforms such as Etsy, Wayfair and Not On The High Street.
