I just thought of something..considering people are commenting on boxes and their price/where to buy. What if we make our own? Then we could customize the box size to the exact measurement we need. I'm pretty sure buying sheets of cardboard would be less expensive than a pre made box too. You'd just have to use the score and cutting technique to make the tabs and what not, create a bottom piece and a top piece to fit over it and then tape up well. Seems like more work but may be worth it if finding a proper box size/price is a challenge.

you can buy artwork boxes at fedex kinkos or even order them online. i would say online is cheaper. for me personally because i am a starving artist. i make my boxes from packing boxes i buy at walmart. just cut and hot glue them or just packing tape. hope that helps.

These large boxes are easier to franken-box to the right size.

@accadia50 8 жыл бұрын

+Iris Gross Hi Iris. No!! Neither cooking parchment nor 'fine' parchment paper is appropriate to use on the surface of artwork. Parchment may contain acids and coatings and can not only harm the surface of your artwork, it has even been know to etch glass. Glassine is acid free and will not damage your artwork. You should be able to find it in any art supply store, but if you can't find it, plastic sheeting should be sufficient.

Agora or someone with access to artist ideas looking for representation used my idea to sell art painting kits in hobby stores. The kits had my pitch and my technique just not as refined and of course the paint was all mixed wrong but still if they would have consulted me the product might still be on hobby and art store shelves. It was something like “Paint like Van Gogh”.

+Raymond Ngu you can buy boxes like that at Uline.com or you can try your local bike and mirror stores, they have very sturdy boxes. Use a strong sturdy new box, free from previous markings or labels. The box should be in excellent condition without tears, rips or any damage. The cardboard should be at least ¼ inch thick. The box should be wider and taller then the artwork allowing enough space for 2"/ 5cm of packing material on each side.

@AgoraGalleryNYC 8 жыл бұрын

+Tabitha Chan We are happy that you found it useful! Yes, you can pack larger works with the same technique, however professional crating might be safer for shipping them. Any time there is a greater chance for the piece to be damaged in transit, we would suggest a crate. It also depends on the duration of the trip.
