Self Packing Tips
Artmork & Mirrors
You'll need:
1.Packing Tape
2.Blank newsprint and cardboard or bubble wrap
3.Styrofoam peanuts for sculptures
4.Boxes (flat and/or sized to fit) for each piece of artwork
Spending a little time to pack an artwork well will ensure it will arrive safe & damage free.
Here are some great tips for packing artwork to prevent damage during & after transport
Framed prints
-Wrap them individually in newsprint and then Packing Tape cardboard around them. Also may use bubble wrap.
-Put them in flat fitted picture boxes. If they still fit loosely in their individual boxes, fill in the
-spaces with lightly wadded blank newsprint or bubble wrap.
-Tape the box shut and You're done!
Mirrors
Put Packing Tape across the front of the mirror like an "X" to keep the pieces in place in case the glass breaks.
Wrap in bubble wrap or blank newsprint with cardboard Packing Taped around them. Fill loose spaces with lightly wadded paper or carboard.
Put in a flat picture box, seal, and mark "Fragile - Mirror." Picture Box 40”x32”x4”
Original paintings
If your painting is framed with glass you can mark the front like an "X" with masking Packing Tape.
Cover the framed painting or canvas with bubble wrap using Packing Tape.
Build custom size box to fit that is slightly bigger than the painting, or purchase one. If you're packing a canvas (no frame, no glass),
wrap the cardboard box in bubble wrap again, Packing Tape it, then build or buy a second box slightly bigger than the first.
Double boxing is a guarantee against other sharp objects puncturing the box and canvas during the move. Picture Box 40”x32”x4”
Sculptures
Choose a valueless object with a simple surface area such as a toy doll or a ball.
Wrap the object completely in clingwrap
Tape over it with packing tape.
Using a pair of scissors (or a razor knife), make an incision in the tape cast and cut a seam to allow for the original object's release
Once the cast has been removed, remove any excess cling wrap from inside.
Reseal the cast with packing tape. Done!
