Custom boxing

A box built around the piece

Artwork doesn't come in standard sizes, so the box shouldn't either. We stock specialty artwork boxes and can build a custom box for almost anything, then pack inside it the way the piece actually needs to travel.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Call us and we'll walk you through it.

Can you pick up from my studio or gallery?

Yes. We can pick up artwork from your studio, gallery or framer instead of requiring a drop-off, and schedule it around your timeline.

Is artwork you pack guaranteed for insurance?

Anything we pack is guaranteed for insurability under our Packed to Perfection guarantee, the same standard we apply to every shipment we pack. Call us and we'll walk you through the options for your piece.

Can you handle framed pieces with glass?

Yes. Framed and glass-faced work is packed with that in mind, so it travels flat and protected rather than just wrapped and hoped for.

Do you ship oversized or heavy pieces?

Yes. Oversize and heavy pieces can be quoted and arranged as freight when they don't fit standard carrier shipping.

Do you ship artwork internationally?

Yes, through UPS, FedEx and DHL. We can help you compare speed, price and customs requirements for the piece you're sending.

Run a gallery, frame shop or studio?

We also work with galleries & artists directly

If you're shipping regularly, consignment pieces, client purchases or studio overflow, there's a faster setup for that: a business account, volume pricing and one contact who already knows how you ship.
