Shipping Artwork

October 14, 2016 by admin

Bob Dylan just won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Dylan is best known for his song lyrics. He has also written many poems. The Nobel committee chose him for being a great poet in the English-speaking tradition. Another reason for the regard people give Dylan is how his work inspires others to create their own art. Many painters, sculptors, and textile artists work with Dylan playing in the background.

As a working artist, part of the job is selling and shipping your artwork to customers. It’s vitally important for artwork to arrive at its destination in perfect condition: the market for torn paintings or shattered sculptures is extremely small. Working with a Boston pack and ship service helps artists ship their work worldwide.

Paintings come in all shapes and sizes. Custom crating is often the best option for shipping paintings. Padding is used to protect the surface of the painting from coming into contact with anything else; well built wooden shipping crates are the gold standard. We’ve found that each sculpture needs to be considered individually before any packing and shipping choices are made: some fragile pieces work best with foam-in-place technology deployed to prevent breakage, while more robust pieces or an entire collection may require freight shipping services.

Shipping textile art requires understanding the physical nature of the piece. Some textile artworks have extremely long strands or fringes that must not become tangled together during the shipping process; additionally, some materials can not be folded or bent, or may require internal support throughout shipment. We work closely with artists to create shipping solutions that protect the integrity of their work while also keeping shipping costs realistic.

Our robust suite of tracking and insurance tools will be of interest to anyone who needs to ship artwork from Boston. With these tools, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing where your artwork is as it travels; additionally, financial protection against loss, theft, or damage is essential when shipping one of a kind items.

"Working in support services for a large law firm, I consistently turn to Boston Pack and Ship for assistance in moving heavy equipment to our satellite offices, both in the U.S. and overseas. The shipments arrive in excellent condition, in a timely manner and are delivered professionally. Whenever we ship a large quantity of files to other offices, the most cost-effective method is to give them to Boston Pack and Ship and let them handle it. Without Boston Pack & ship backing me up, my job would be close to impossible."
