Protect artwork in transit with appropriate materials and packing techniques.

Use rigid backing boards, acid free tissue, and bubble wrap for prints; choose sturdy mailers or crates for framed work. For canvases, corner protectors and stretch wrap prevent abrasion and moisture. Label packages fragile and insure higher value items. For international shipping check customs forms and restrictions on materials. Good packaging reduces damage risk and improves buyer confidence.
