Packaging artwork is a delicate process that requires attention to detail, an understanding of the art object’s type and handling requirements, and experience in this craft. That’s why we recommend turning to professionals for this service; this way, you will be able to protect your property from damage and save time and effort on DIY packaging and experimentation. Here are the main principles we at Fine Art Shippers follow when dealing with delicate, fragile art objects.
Onsite Packaging
Shipping artwork is a process with many variables and uncertainties, so we recommend bringing down the risks by ordering the onsite packing service. This way, your art objects will be handled by professionals right in your location, without risky travels in non-equipped vehicles from your home or office to the shipping company’s warehouse. Packaging artworks onsite is performed in line with all industry standards to ensure safe transportation from start to finish.
Professional, Safe Materials
Choosing acid-free, non-adhesive materials for packaging artwork is also a golden rule of safe art handling. That’s why we equip art handlers with the full set of packaging options meeting the industry requirements and ensure that all packaging materials are sustainable and secure for delicate art objects.
Inspection and Documentation
The process of packaging artwork should be properly documented to enable the insurance company, sender, and recipient to evaluate the original and final condition of the transported objects. Ideally, these conditions shouldn’t differ, as a reliable shipper should keep the objects intact. However, things happen, and sometimes objects get damaged in transit. In this case, you can initiate a claim process by showing the documents and photos of your property.
Safe Art Handling
Art handlers are people with extensive expertise in art management at all stages of transportation, be it deinstallation, packaging, or moving from one location to another. When you work with expert art movers, your objects are carefully handled at all stages of shipping, from pick-up to delivery.
Entrust the Process of Packaging Artwork to Experts
Packaging artwork shouldn’t cause shivers and doubts, as you don’t need to do it on your own. A wise decision is to engage professionals with experience and talent, which you can always get at Fine Art Shippers.
