Hello, my name is Joannie. I am here to talk to you all about shipping small and large packages. I want to talk about all of the different packing materials and shipping options you can use for your packages. I will split my information between domestic and international shipping options. I also will talk about preparing a wide array of items for shipping to prevent damage during transport. Please feel free to use the information on my site to ship your items with care.

Moving day is never fun. The boxes are heavy, the weather generally doesn't cooperate, and something always breaks. If you follow the tips below, however, you can be confident that you can protect your artwork from damage during the move.
1. 'X' marks the spot
Any art that has a glass front needs to be protected. Place a large "x" of packaging tape across the surface of the glass before bundling it up. this does not prevent the glass from breaking, but rather it prevent any broken glass from moving around in the frame and damaging the surface of the artwork. If the glass breaks, you can simply have a frame shop take the framing apart, remove the broken glass, and cut a new piece — all while protecting the artwork.
2. This side up
Art should be stored upright, especially limited edition prints and original pieces on paper. While inexpensive posters are permanently glued to their backing, valuable pieces are typically framed using acid-free linen tape, which protects the value of the art over time without damaging it. The tape is affixed to both the matting and the art to secure it inside the framing. An acid-free hinge will break free if stored upside-down for any length of time.
3. Watch the corners
While it may be fun to place artwork on its corner and spin it, don't. Professional framers actually place frames on their corner and press down in order to break them apart when re-framing artwork. Frames are not meant to handle that type of angular pressure.
4. Wrap carefully
Take care to have your moving service wrap your framed artwork carefully. Pay special attention to works on canvas. This type of art should be sandwiched between cardboard before being wrapped. If not, an object could pierce the canvas during transport. It is extremely difficult to repair a canvas with a hole in it. This type of repair work is typically down at museums in a major metropolis.
5. Back-to-back
Once your artwork is securely wrapped, request that your moving service store them back-to-back and front-to-front. The hardware on the back of a frame can scratch the surface of another frame. Storing the backs facing each other and the front-facing each other can minimize this type of damage during the move.
Following the above tips to protect your artwork and hiring a professional moving service will ensure a successful move every time.
