A limited edition is one of a limited number of editions available for a particular artwork. The number of art prints or objects in an edition is determined by the artist, the printer, and the publisher. While multiple art objects are often mistaken with mass-produced reproductions, limited editions are original artworks that are intentionally rare.
Limited editions are far more than just a copy. They have been specifically created by the artist and reproduced by an experienced craftsperson under the artist’s and Haystack’s direct oversight. The art object are hand-numbered (to establish the edition size), and signed by the artist as authentification. At times they are also accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
General Shipping and Delivery:
We ship within the US and internationally. Orders generally ship within 7–14 business days, depending on destination and whether the piece is framed — unframed prints tend to land earlier in that window, framed pieces later, since framing takes roughly 2–3 weeks on its own. Unless the work requires manual shipping that requires a crating or special packing, all standard shipments — framed or unframed — ship via FedEx Ground or Express Saver. Direct signature is required for all shipments.
Framed artwork:
Framed works are shipped in professionally crafted boxes that offer the strength of plywood and are suitable for land and air transport. Artwork will be specially fitted with foam surrounding all sides then sandwiched between layers of egg carton foam to provide shock absorption.
Unframed artwork:
Unmounted artwork will be shipped flat in carefully engineered packaging that provides a double layer of corrugated and puncture-resistant cardboard. We recommend leaving unframed prints in our packaging until you are able to deliver them safely to a professional framer.
Yes — we ship worldwide. International collectors are responsible for any applicable duties, taxes, or customs fees imposed by their country.
When you arrive on a product page, you’ll have the option to select the frame treatment of your choice before checking out. You’ll be offered three frame options: white, black, or natural. In addition to the frame, we include UV-blocking Plexiglas instead of traditional glass. This offers the same protection as glass but removes the possibility of glass-shattering damage. The process typically takes 3-4 weeks. For full details, visit the Framing Guide on our blog.
Professional framing is the best way to protect your artwork long-term — shielding it from dust, moisture, sunlight, and handling damage that can otherwise shorten a print’s lifespan. Plus, when the piece arrives, it’s immediately ready to hang.
Every edition is signed by the artist and numbered to reflect its place in the run (for example, 1/10 for the first of ten). This numbering and signature are your guarantee of authenticity.

All sales are final — our editions are limited, and once a piece leaves our hands, we want it to find a permanent home in yours. Minor variations in color or texture between your screen and the finished piece are part of the medium and aren’t considered defects. These variations do not constitute as artwork defects.

A few simple habits go a long way:
1. Keep artwork out of direct or an abundance of sunlight
2. Avoid leaning anything against the surface.
3. Dust frames and Plexiglas regularly with a clean microfiber cloth.
4. Avoid hanging framed pieces in high-traffic areas.
5. Steer clear of spaces with extreme temperature swings or high humidity, like attics, basements, bathrooms, or kitchens.
6. Save your original packaging for future moves or storage.
7. Check your pieces periodically for any change in condition.
8. Never attempt repairs yourself — reach out to a local framer first, or contact us for help finding a conservator.
We always encourage collecting from the heart — buy what moves you, not what you expect to flip. That said, limited editions do tend to hold or grow in value over time, though we can’t promise any specific outcome.
