How to Package Art

Nov 03, 2022
 

Packaging art can be the most important, final step in an artist's sale. Creating the package in such a way so that the artwork remains unharmed, and that the collector receiving it enjoys opening the box, has been a focus of mine over the years.

List of Materials:

  • Tape Measure
  • Pen
  • Boxing knife/stanley knife
  • packaging tape
  • scissors
  • hot glue gun
  • 1m metal ruler
  • Stickers: "Fragile, "This Way Up" and "Top Load"
  • 7mm card board (I buy mine from www.theboxman.com.au)
  • Bubble wrap of 2cm - 1" foam sheet
  • plastic or fabric to wrap the artwork in
