5️⃣ Simple & Affordable Packaging Guide
You do not need expensive materials. Safe and secure packaging can be done affordably.
🖼 Canvas Paintings
Affordable method:
● Place baking paper or clean tissue paper over the painted surface
● Wrap fully in bubble wrap (available cheaply in rolls)
● Use a strong cardboard box (reused boxes are acceptable if sturdy)
● Fill gaps with scrunched paper to prevent movement
For smaller canvases, double-layered cardboard can work if taped securely.
🗿 Small Sculptures
● Wrap carefully in bubble wrap
● Protect fragile areas with extra padding
● Place in a small box
● Fill empty space with paper, newspaper, or tissue
● Seal securely with strong tape
If heavy, reinforce the bottom of the box with extra tape.
📸 Photographs & Prints
Unframed Prints:
● Place inside a plastic sleeve (optional but helpful)
● Sandwich between two thick pieces of cardboard
● Tape edges securely
● Ship in flat envelope
Framed Prints:
● Wrap in bubble wrap
● Protect corners with folded cardboard
● Place in sturdy box
● Fill gaps with paper
Avoid tubes unless the print is designed to be rolled.
6️⃣ Postage & Shipping Reimbursement
You will not lose money on postage.
Shipping costs are:
● Calculated based on the artwork’s size and weight
● Added to the customer’s total at checkout
You will be reimbursed for the full shipping amount once the sale is processed.
We recommend:
● Using tracked postage where possible
● Keeping proof of postage
