A framed painting purchased at an auction was superbly packed and arrived safely without breakage. The cardboard carton was a heavier stock than usual; the painting and frame were encased in smaller bubble wrap twice; and the whole package was then cushioned with more bubble wrap. The carton was stapled shut and then taped along the seams. Beautiful job: neat, thorough and careful. Even better, there were no plastic peanuts, the bane of any packaging.
