Key Considerations for Artwork Shipping

When preparing your artwork for transportation, there are a few important considerations to make. Some art is safe to ship in sturdy, corrugated shipping boxes, with extra protection to avoid damage. Pending the size, value and fragility of certain pieces, especially larger ones, custom crating for artwork is necessary to ensure complete protection during the shipping process. Climate control is also an important choice for certain pieces such as paintings or antiques.

Secure Packing for Artwork

For most fragile pieces of artwork, traditional packaging methods won’t cut it. That is why Navis uses expert art packing methods to provide both padding and structural support for your artwork. These packing techniques will ensure your art won’t move within the box during transit, minimizing the chance at damage.

Custom Crating for Art Shipping

Larger pieces of artwork often cannot fit in a normal shipping box and/or require additional protection that only a custom art shipping crate can provide. Building a custom crate for artwork involves creating a wooden frame to support and protect your artwork with structural padding inside the crate. The crate will ensure that you can ship art safely because it provides extremely durable protection from bumps and handling along the way.

Support and Structure

Sculptures and some antique statues require additional support to ensure delicate extended elements of the art arrive safely. In addition to custom crating, Navis Pack & Ship experts can build the support your artwork needs directly into the shipping solution, whether box or crate, so that the art you are shipping arrives in one piece.
