Steps to Take Before Crating Your Art for Shipping

1. STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE CRATING YOUR ART FOR SHIPPING Clean and Protect the Artwork: Gently clean your artwork to remove any dust or debris. For paintings, especially those with wet paint or delicate textures, cover the surface with glassine paper or protective sheets. Select the Right Materials: Use acid-free materials for protection. For valuable or fragile pieces, a custom crate may be necessary. Gather bubble wrap, foam sheets, or other cushioning materials to wrap around your artwork. Secure the Artwork: Place the wrapped artwork into the crate or box. Fill any empty spaces with additional padding to prevent movement. Secure the crate or box with strong tape and label it clearly. Label and Document: Clearly label the package with the destination address, your return address, and any special handling instructions. Take detailed photographs of the artwork and its packaging before shipping. This documentation can be crucial in case of any damage during transit.
