When shipping a painting, a print, or a photo, most people prefer doing this on their own. You simply need high-quality packing materials and some time to ensure that the piece arrives at the destination in its perfect condition, right? Well, that’s true, in some cases. However, what if you need to ship a painting by Pablo Picasso, a screen print by Andy Warhol, or any other valuable or unique artwork? Moreover, what if this painting or print is framed with glass? Are you sure you can properly prepare it for the long-distance transportation? If you have any doubts, it is better not to risk and entrust this delicate work to professional art crate and shipping companies like Fine Art Shippers!
