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.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
