Expert Guide on Framing Art for Shipping
Artists understand the importance of preserving the integrity of their masterpieces, especially when shipping them. Framing artwork for shipping is not just about aesthetics; it's about protecting the artwork from potential damages during transit. The process begins with choosing a sturdy and appropriate-sized frame that complements the artwork. The artwork should be securely attached to the frame, typically using acid-free tape for paper works or wire for canvas pieces. Next, the framed artwork should be wrapped in a protective layer, such as bubble wrap, to absorb any shocks or impacts. It's also essential to place the wrapped frame in a shipping box slightly larger than the frame itself, allowing room for additional packing materials. Lastly, fill the gaps in the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent the artwork from shifting during shipment. This process enhances the safety of your artwork, ensuring it reaches its destination in perfect condition.
Frames and Artistic Preservation
Artwork is vulnerable to the effects of time, but a quality frame ensures its longevity while enhancing its presentation. Frames provide essential protection against dust, fading, and physical wear, preserving the integrity of the piece for years to come. They also contribute to the artwork’s narrative, emphasising its theme or mood through complementary designs and materials. For example, sleek, modern frames amplify the minimalist beauty of abstract pieces, while ornate, vintage frames underscore the elegance of classical works. Beyond aesthetics, frames help structure the viewing experience by focusing attention on the artwork itself. Frames are indispensable in creating lasting impressions and safeguarding artistic creations.

Frames should complement the specific needs of the artwork while aligning with the artist’s vision. Wooden frames are a go-to option for their versatility and ability to bring warmth to any piece, especially landscapes or portraits. Float frames are uniquely suited for canvases, adding depth by creating a space between the artwork and the frame itself. They work particularly well for modern and contemporary pieces, allowing the edges of the canvas to remain visible and enhancing the dimensionality of the artwork. When selecting a frame, take into account the piece’s style, medium, and intended display location. Float frames are ideal for achieving a professional, contemporary look while keeping the artwork as the primary focus.
