How to pack a painting

Packing a painting is a simple but very delicate operation. It's necessary to follow a few simple rules.  Materials needed:
  • Bubble wrap
  • PVC adhesive tape
  • Paper tape 
  • Sheets of cardboard 
  • Wrapping paper
Phase 1: Protection  Protect the delicate parts of the painting; the corners and the front of the work.  Make corner protectors out of cardboard If the painting has glass, make an X with the masking tape, otherwise protect the painted part with a sheet of paper     Step 2: Wrap the painting with bubble wrap Place a layer of bubble wrap on a flat surface and place the front of the painting, the most delicate part, on top. Wrap the painting with at least two layers of bubble wrap . It's important to provide plenty of protection, especially on the most fragile front part, so it can absorb any shock. Seal with several turns of tape . It's not necessary to use paper tape; plain, neutral PVC packing tape will work just fine.  Phase 3: Finishing the packaging Wrap everything in brown paper to protect the confidentiality of the shipment and write FRAGILE / WARNING CONTAINS GLASS on all sides.
