There are so many
things to think about when moving!
Here's a comprehensive moving guide to help you stay on track. |
 Packing Tips
Artwork & Mirrors
You'll need:
1. Tape
2. Blank newsprint and cardboard or bubble wrap
3. Styrofoam peanuts for sculptures
4. Boxes (flat and/or sized to fit) for each piece of artwork
Framed Prints
1. Wrap them individually in newsprint and then tape cardboard around them. Or
wrap them in bubble wrap.
2. Put them in flat fitted boxes. If they still fit loosely in their individual
boxes, fill in the spaces with lightly wadded blank newsprint.
3. Tape the box shut and mark it. You're done!
Mirrors
1. Put tape across the front of the mirror like an "X" to keep the
pieces in place in case the glass breaks.
2. Wrap in bubble wrap or blank newsprint with cardboard taped around them. Fill
loose spaces with lightly wadded paper
3. Put in a flat box, seal, and mark "Fragile - Mirror." That's all!
Original Paintings
1. If your painting is framed with glass, tape the front like an "X" with
masking tape.
2. Cover the framed painting or canvas with bubble wrap and tape it closed.
3. Build a box to fit that is slightly bigger than the painting, or purchase
one. If you're packing a canvas (no frame, no glass), wrap the cardboard box
in bubble wrap again, tape it, then build or buy a second box slightly bigger
than the first. Double boxing is a guarantee against other sharp objects puncturing
the box and canvas during the move.
4. Tape the box well and mark "Fragile - Art." All done now!
Sculptures
1. You'll need a box at least one-third larger than the size of your sculpture
and bubble wrap.
2. Fill one-third of the box with Styrofoam peanuts. Wrap the sculpture with
bubble wrap, put it in upright, and then fill in all around and on top with peanuts.
Your piece of art should be nestled in the center without touching the sides
of the box.
3. Tape the box and mark "Fragile - Artwork" clearly on the outside.
That's it!
