If you're a designer or artist and need to send your work abroad, chances are that you're concerned about the safety of your work. Packaging large paintings, illustrations, prints, or objects of art of design is tricky, and important if you want to avoid transit damage. It is also important to choose the right kind of transportation and the right company.
Some research on the internet will help you get an idea of the cost of tranpsorting goods abroad to Europe or destinations across the world. There are a number of companies that specialise in complete removals solutions, from packaging through to delivery.
Art canvases and other fragile art and design items need to be packaged correctly to minimise the chances of damage. However, if damage does occur, an insurance cover can be beneficial. It is therefore advisable to insure the goods while being shipped.
Insulating the goods sufficiently is important, and a hard covering outside the soft insulation can provide the additional protection necessary to protect artwork, sculptures, design prototypes etc. Always make sure that the transportation company has experience in shipping fragile goods.
