Does anybody know what a stapled back canvas is?

My girlfriend has been telling me she wants a "stapled back canvas" for her paintings. I looked on Amazon for canvasses and all I see are stretched canvasses and Pre-Stretched Canvasses. I see nothing that says "stapled back". I am confused. Which canvas is my girlfriend referring to?

What is the difference between a pre stretched canvas and a stretched canvas?

What are some good brands to buy canvasses from?

    It's called a Gallery Wrap canvas. The canvas is stapled to the stretcher bars on the back instead of the sides. It allows an artist to paint the sides and not need a frame for their work when finished.
