How is shipping handled?
All physical products purchased from Criseida Files are fulfilled and shipped through a trusted third-party service to ensure reliable delivery and quality handling.
What type of packing will it come in?
Prints sized 8" × 10" and smaller are packaged in a sturdy, flat rigid mailer. Anything larger than 8" × 10" will arrive safely rolled inside a protective tube-style box.
My print is very rolled up, how can I fix this?
I know it may look a little intimidating at first, but don’t worry your print will flatten beautifully with the right steps! Below are two methods that can be used to relax prints.
Important Notes:
Handle your print only by the edges to avoid smudges or damage.
Make sure your surface is completely clean and dry before placing your print down.
Rolling Method
This method works by gently rolling your print in the opposite direction to help it relax and flatten. Watch video links below if you have never done it before. It’s important to follow the steps carefully, rolling it incorrectly can cause creases or damage.
Place print face down on clean surface.
Starting at the end that naturally wants to curl upward, begin rolling print in the opposite direction using the tube (make sure corners aren’t bent before applying pressure or rolling.)
Guide with both hands so it rolls evenly.
Secure the paper on the tube by placing weight on top of the tube (books can be used.)
Leave for 1-3 hours.
Last step is to unroll.
If there is no tube accessible for you to do this method, the weighing down method can be used. Below, I’ve linked the rolling method for flattening your print.

Weighing Down Method
This method works by simply adding weight onto the print to help the paper realx.
First place print on clean dry surface.
Cover the print to keep safe (this can be done with regular printing paper/tissue paper/parchment paper/protective paper that came with order.)
Add even light weight over the print, making sure the corners are included to avoid curling. The most common objects to do this with are books or boards.
Leave it for 24-48 hours. This method usually relaxes most prints enough to get into a frame.

Do you do commissions?
Yes. Commissions are accepted based on Criseida’s current availability. To inquire, please contact Criseida directly with your request. It’s easiest to do this through the contact tab.
Can you give an overview of how the commission process works?
Phase 1: Initial Inquirary
When reaching out, please provide a brief description of your idea, the desired dimensions, and your ideal deadline. This information helps determine feasibility.
Phase 2: Availability & Details
Criseida will confirm her availability and, if moving forward, will request additional details needed to begin preparing an estimate.
Phase 3: Estimate Preparation
Further questions may be exchanged to ensure all necessary information is gathered. This allows an accurate and fair quote to be created.
Phase 4: Quote Review
You will receive a formal quote to review, sign, and return if you choose to proceed.
Phase 5: Deposit & Start of Work
Once the agreed upon deposit is paid, the commission working phase officially begins.
Phase 6: Final Payment & Delivery
Upon completion, the remaining balance is due. After final payment is received, the finished artwork will be delivered to you.
How long will it take for my commission take to be made?
For the best chance of availability, it is recommended to reach out at least six months before your desired deadline. Timelines vary depending on complexity, size, and Criseida's schedule.
Smaller commissions may take around two weeks.
Larger or more detailed pieces may require several weeks to several months.
All timelines will be clearly outlined in the contract before any payment is made.
What else should I know about commissions?
The most important thing to bring into the commission process is an open mind. While Criseida takes every idea and preference into thoughtful consideration, art is a collaborative and creative process, not an automated one. Open communication and flexibility help ensure your vision and Criseida’s artistic interpretation come together beautifully. :)
