Industry · Picture framers & galleries
Packaging for picture framers and art galleries.
Framed work is heavy, glazed and damaged most often at the corners. We supply corner protectors, cardboard sheets, backing board, bubble wrap, kraft paper, large boxes and mailing tubes for picture framers, galleries and art couriers.
Why it matters
Protect the glass, the frame and the art.
A cracked pane or dented corner turns a sale into a costly repair.
Protects corners
Corner protectors absorb the knocks that damage frames most.
Protects the glazing
Sheets and wrap spread pressure across the glass.
Protects your reputation
Work that arrives perfect builds trust with clients and artists.

Tips from packaging experts.
Practical advice for framers and galleries.
Paper before bubble
Wrap the frame in kraft paper first so bubble wrap doesn't mark the finish.
Tape an X on large glass
A cross of low-tack tape on large glazing helps hold pieces together if the glass cracks.
Sandwich with sheets
Place cardboard sheets on both faces of the frame before boxing.
Never stack face down
Store and transport framed work upright, never flat with weight on the glass.
