At Cube Fine Art, we offer a specialist, bespoke packing service for your pieces of fine art. However some of our clients prefer to pack their own pieces for storage and we’re perfectly happy for you to do this. We’d like to take this opportunity to share a few tips with you for the best way of doing this:
1. Frame it – if your piece is a canvas featuring paint, oils, pencil sketches or any other type of media, we recommend framing it instead of storing it loose or rolled. This will offer it better protection.
2. Corner guards – to protect sharp points or protruding sections of artwork, we recommend the use of cardboard corner guards. This should help to prevent your piece from being damaged in transit.
3. Bubblewrap – we don’t recommend the use of bubblewrap as it can cause artwork to sweat or the chemicals from the plastic can stain it, causing permanent damage.
4. Packing peanuts – we don’t recommend the use of packing peanuts either as these can break up into small pieces which can be a nightmare to remove from nooks in sculptures and frames.
5. Breathable fabric – this is perfect for offering your pieces an extra layer of protection without causing damage.
