Packing Tape
-
Blank newsprint and cardboard or bubble wrap

How How To Pack Artwork & Mirrors:
Framed prints
-
Wrap them individually in newsprint and then Packing
Tape cardboard around them. Or wrap them in bubble wrap.
-
Put them in flat fitted boxes. If they still fit loosely
in their individual boxes, fill in the spaces with lightly
wadded blank newsprint.
-
Packing Tape the box shut and mark it. 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
-
Put in a flat box, seal, and mark "Fragile - Mirror."
That's all!
Original paintings
-
If your painting is framed with glass, Packing Tape the
front like an "X" with masking Packing Tape.
-
Cover the framed painting or canvas with bubble wrap
and Packing Tape it closed.
-
Build a 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.
-
Packing Tape the box well and mark "Fragile - Art."
All done now!
Sculptures
-
You'll need a box at least one-third larger than the
size of your sculpture and bubble wrap.
-
Fill one-third of the box with Styrofoam peanuts. Wrap
the sculpture with bubble wrap, put it in upright, and
then fill in all around and on top with peanuts. Your
piece of art should be nestled in the center without touching
the sides of the box.
-
Packing Tape the box and mark "Fragile - Artwork"
clearly on the outside. That's it!
