[CS] How to safely wrap a painting?

Packing the image well is an important step in transporting or storing it. This is especially true if it is a unique work of art that requires special care and protection. In this article, we’ll look at how to choose the right foil and also how to use it to wrap a painting so that its transportation is safe and hassle-free.

Choosing the right film is the key to success

The right choice of film is important to keep everything safe and secure. For smaller and medium-sized images, the ideal choice is Stretch filmwhich ensures a tight wrapping of the product. This can protect the image from dust, moisture and other external influences.

For larger images, you should invest in stretch filmwhich is stronger and will protect the image a little more.

If you are wrapping multiple images or larger formats, we also recommend that you make effective use of pallets. Simply place the image correctly on the pallet and make sure it does not move. Then just wrap the images on the pallet with a quality film that will keep them in place during transport.

Special attention should be paid to the corners of the paintings, which are prone to damage. Classic protective corners for paintings can help here.

In addition to the edges, the image itself is also important, which classic bubble wrap can protect. It should be made of durable polyethylene, which will also protect the image from moisture and dirt.

Cardboard will also protect the images

Of course, cardboard protection is also part of the packaging. If you only need to pack one image, a box with practical dimensions will be your right hand. However, when choosing the dimensions, keep in mind that while you’re putting the image in the box, you’re still wrapping it in foil, and as a result, you may need a slightly larger box.

If you are sending multiple paintings in one shipment, traditional cardboard boxes of larger sizes are a great help, but keep in mind that the individual paintings still need to be sufficiently separated.

As you can see, packing a painting well is not rocket science, but you should pay enough attention to it to ensure that the product reaches the recipient in the best possible condition. Thanks to the tips presented above, you can handle the transportation of paintings like a professional and there will be no worries about damaging them during transport.
