How to Package Artwork

Updated: Feb 26

Makes all the Difference

One way to impress my online customers, besides an accurate representation of my artwork, is to package the artwork with the utmost care.

Implementing these practices will be beneficial for the collector as well as for your business.

As follows I included a link showing you pictures with a step-by-step guide on how to ship paintings safely. However, this is not a full guarantee, it will help diminish the chances of the artwork getting damaged in transit.

One thing is for sure, you will be proud of the extra effort. It pays off!
