5 Fine Art Packing Tips

1. Let Your Fine Art Breathe

It’s vital that during removals, fine art canvasses are allowed to ‘breathe’. This means using specialist packing. This is especially important during the shipping of fine art as journeys are longer, so using the wrong packing material can cause disastrous damage to your collection.

2. Careful Handling

Our fine art removals team is highly experienced and treats each individual piece with the care and attention required. You will receive our reassurance that your fine art moving and storage will be expertly managed by our company. When needed, we use our climate-controlled and air-suspension vehicles.

3. Bespoke Art Packing

Your fine art is precious. Each piece is truly individual. Our dedicated fine art removals service includes a tailored survey giving you reassurance that we understand the specific requirements involved with packing and removing your personal collection. For removals, fine art should be packed in plastic cases or wooden crates.

4. Optimum Protection

Your fine art will be expertly wrapped, packed, stored and moved safely and securely. Tailored art packing keeps your fine art separate to your other household possessions, ensuring that they stay in top condition.

5. Clear Guidelines

Communication is key! One of our biggest fine art packing tips is… include clear labelling and guidelines. The is a key part of our fine art shipping service and is essential to the success of fine art removals. Our company has moved and stored fine art for many years. In our experience, careful and meticulous unpacking is almost as important as bespoke art packing.
