Pack and ship artwork safely
Plan packaging around artwork type, value, dimensions and destination.
Start here
Plan packaging around artwork type, value, dimensions and destination. The aim is not to create one rigid rule, but to give you a dependable starting point you can test in your own practice.
The working principle: make the simplest useful decision first, then add complexity only when it improves the work or the business.
Practical checklist
- Protect the artwork surface before adding impact protection.
- Prevent movement inside the outer box.
- Photograph valuable work and packaging before dispatch.
- Price packaging materials into your selling costs.
What to do next
Try the advice on one real piece of work rather than redesigning your whole practice at once. Record what changed, what it cost and whether the result was genuinely better.
