Boston Holiday Shipping Spotlight: Shipping Artwork

November 10, 2011 by admin

The holiday season is here again!  That means it’s time to pick out gifts for your favorite people. Artwork makes a spectacular gift.  It’s the ultimate in personal gift giving: selecting a painting, print, etching or sculpture for your recipient shows thoughtfulness and care.

It used to be that buying art was a rich man’s game.  That’s not true anymore.  Thanks in part to the internet, it’s easier than ever before to find and connect with artists who are doing work that speaks to you, that is personally moving and beautiful.

Selecting artwork for a gift is the first step.  The second step, if you want to make somebody’s holiday special, is to make sure they receive the gift in plenty of time.  Packing and shipping artwork is a special skill. You want to select a Boston Shipping store that has experience shipping artwork.

Boston: Shipping Paintings

Paintings need protection to survive the shipping process.  Canvas is fragile and vulnerable to damage from moisture. Kicks, drops, and knocks can destroy a painting in seconds.  The larger the painting is, the more difficult it becomes to ship safely.  Custom crating is the answer.  Your Boston pack and ship store will specially design and build a crate to contain your painting, protect it from damage and careless handling, and get it ready for shipping!

Boston: Shipping Sculptures

There are many types of sculptures.  Some are created out of heavy iron, while others are made of the most fragile thin glass. Yet all sculptures have some traits in common.  Sculptures have strong points and weak points. It is essential to provide support and cushioning for your sculpture while it is in transit to avoid breakage. Foam in place technology is a cutting edge innovation used to insert a custom crafted foam cushion into the crate surrounding your sculpture.  The sculpture is protected with a protective film, so the foam never directly contacts the artwork. The foam sets in place, providing a comfortable, supportive pillow that surrounds your sculpture and protects it while it is being shipped. If you are sending sculptures this holiday season, talk to your Boston shipping store about foam in place technology.

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move 35 boxes and 5 other items from Quincy, MA to Columbus, OH. Nothing required any real special handling, just the usual stuff, some of which was fragile. The shipment and delivery was seamless. The initial pick up was great, the guys came when they said they would. The delivery date was to be between three and six weeks and it was three weeks on the dot—maybe even a day earlier. The whole process was so efficient and I was kept informed all along the way as to timing of the delivery. First several days before and then again the day before along with a four-hour window of time. Although I haven't had the opportunity to recommend Boston Pack and Ship, I would certainly do so without hesitation!"
