Safe and Professional Custom Art Shipping on a Budget: Mission Possible

Safe and Professional Custom Art Shipping on a Budget: Mission Possible

20.06.2025

Custom art shipping often turns out more expensive because of the artwork’s special needs or features. Here’s how you can organize this process.

Custom art shipping can take a toll on your budget, especially if your art object is of an unusual shape and type. In this case, you may need non-standard shipping solutions and extra services to handle the object safely and professionally. Yet, even the need to customize an art shipping project shouldn’t turn into a financial burden for clients. Here is a glimpse of how we handle custom shipping tasks without breaking the client’s bank.

High-Quality Packing Materials

Proper packaging lies at the heart of safe art shipping. Many art owners believe that high-quality packing materials can’t be cheap. However, museum-quality packing doesn’t always come at a premium cost; professionals know how to choose packaging supplies of the best quality without overpaying for the brand. We at Fine Art Shippers use durable, eco-friendly, and professional packing materials that give your art thorough protection without denting your budget.

Optimal Packing Techniques

The golden rule of professional and affordable art packaging is an optimal balance of packing layers chosen based on a specific artwork’s type, age, and fragility. Exceptionally fragile and old artworks may need additional crating and cushioning to ensure safe shipping, which is worth the added cost. However, for all other cases, custom crates are not needed, with a standard set of safety precautions being enough to guarantee risk-free transportation by specialized art shuttles.

Reliable and Affordable Shipping Methods

Artwork transportation is usually the costliest part of the project. To reduce your expenditure on this aspect of service, we offer consolidated art shuttles that cruise a large number of US states and offer broad, flexible geographical coverage for all your shipping needs. Our company has regular East Coast and cross-country shuttles that can deliver your art to dozens of states on demand. This means that you won’t spend a fortune on a dedicated truck while still enjoying a premium level of shipping safety.

Artwork Insurance

We offer art insurance services to clients and always recommend having an active insurance policy for their collections. First, it’s the standard requirement in valuable art logistics. Second, it’s the protection of your financial interests and peace of mind. Third, it’s the liability obligation that your shipping carrier assumes when accepting your property for transportation. All of these arguments always speak in favor of giving your art better protection and more meticulous handling at all transportation stages.
