How do you ship art properly?

  1. Smaller works can be shipped in new, double-wall corrugated cardboard boxes.
  2. Anything larger than 48” on one side should be crated for maximum protection.
  3. Unmounted artwork can be rolled and shipped in tubes that are at least 4 inches longer than the shortest side of the piece when it’s rolled flat.

How do I protect my art for shipping?

As shown in the third image above, it’s best to put the face of the artwork toward the empty space in the box to give room for more bubble wrap or scrunched packing paper for extra protection. Fill all the extra space in the box until there is very little room left for movement or shifting during shipping.
