How do you package a canvas painting?

Tips on how to pack frames for moving:

  • If there is glass, remove it carefully if possible and pack it separately;
  • Wrap the frame in a soft material, paper, or bubble wrap;
  • Use unique cardboard corners or thick cardboard to protect the edges;
  • After individual wrapping, place the frames into a sturdy, appropriately sized box;
  • Fill empty spaces with foam, wrap, or paper to prevent the frame from shifting during transport.

Use these tips on how to package a painting without a frame. To ensure reliable protection of the canvas, roll it onto a tube (you can make one from cardboard). Secure the edges with tape. Wrap it in bubble wrap and place it into a unique tube.
