Securing Your Masterpieces

Art enthusiasts often invest significant sums—sometimes reaching thousands of pounds—in acquiring delicate paintings, which are frequently housed in ornate frames that can be just as fragile as the artwork itself. Naturally, after such an expenditure, you'd want to guarantee that the piece arrives safely at its new home without losing any of its value.

For comprehensive protection, our telescopic picture frame boxes are an excellent choice. These boxes consist of a sliding base and lid that encase your artwork, providing full coverage against impacts and scratches. Constructed from durable double-wall cardboard, these boxes safeguard paintings, framed photographs, and other flat items during transit.

However, when additional protection is necessary, consider our range of edge guards. Solid cardboard strips can provide reinforcement and added rigidity, while foam shock absorbers offer extra cushioning for fragile frames. Corrugated cardboard sheets are ideal for protecting flat surfaces, but if flexibility is preferred, single-face corrugated rolls can be wrapped around edges. This material features a single layer of paper, exposing the corrugated fluting.

Alternatively, foam comes in rolls that allow you to wrap large paintings or cut pieces to cover the front and back of your artwork. Unlike bubble wrap, foam is non-abrasive and won’t scratch the surface of your painting. Tissue paper can also be used to shield the artwork's surface before applying bubble wrap for cushioning.

To ensure careful handling during transport, we recommend using 'FRAGILE' printed tape. Not only does this tape seal the package securely, but it also serves as a visual cue to handlers that the contents require special attention.

In conclusion, protecting valuable artworks involves selecting the right packaging materials and ensuring proper labeling. By taking these precautions, you can rest assured that your investment remains safe and secure throughout the moving process.
