i think i need a video like, packing and shipping artwork on a budget lol.
Same!
Me too
The advice is: charge more
@@kyriep9711 How do you calculate your prices? That’s where I’ve made errors at.
Wrap ur whole painting in tissue paper. Then wrap it in a foam box. Then wrap it in thick brown wrapping paper. And mail it .
Usually I end up watching several videos when I am researching how to do something but this was so informative that I need not look any further. Thank you for this!!!!
Dawn, thank you very much! We're delighted that the video answered all of your questions.
Agreed!
Yes it was definitely informative.
Same! I saw in video before this and this video right here is great! I will not need anymore resources. Thank you for this video!!!
Excellent video tutorial!! I especially like how you didn't skip the monotonous parts so that we can see all of the details. Thank you.
This is one of the most informative and well executed videos I have ever seen! Thank you!!!!
Excellent. Thank you, excellent tutorial. I am very happy I watched this before I packed my art prints for moving
This is very helpful; very much appreciated, thank you.
very helpful. Thanks to this man and Agora Gallery!
Awesome video! Great breakdown of all the details and explanations on why you need to use each item. Thank you!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you! 😃👍🏼
Excellent! At last someone who shows a decent sized canvas for shipping.

This tutorial is very helpful! Thanks a lot! Short and informative!
Excellent video, thanks!
Exactly what we needed to know. This was extremely useful. Thank you.
this was super informative and helpful!! THANK YOU!!!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much for the demo on how to pack your artwork, I feel comfortable knowing your method of packing will protect my art work, Thanks again so much
Thank you for such a thorough and informative lesson!!!
Thank you so very much for the video, it has helped me a lot!
the point about using the blunt end of the knife to score the cardboard was the single most useful thing I got from this video. I have always hated having to resize cardboard boxes because of how tedious I found it to be. I would have to use a ruler to get a straight line
Wow this is the best Art packaging video Ive seen on youtube..thanks for sharing!!
what a concise, informative demonstration. Thank you so much!!
A wonderful video. Really helpful. Many thanks.
This was informative thank you I really needed this for shipping my work
Very helpful indeed thank you for sharing your wonderful skills
Thank you so much! This was very helpful 😀☺️
Well done, thank you for all the information .
Thank you for watching Michael!
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.
Great tutorial! Very informative.
Thank you for your thorough explanation of how to pack our artwork. Thank you so much!
So good! Thank you for sharing!!
Great video. It really helped me to prepare my first Artwork to send it to its new home.
Thanks for this informative video! So very helpful.
Where has this video been! This was so helpful for a newbie like myself - thank you!
This is great video ..thank you..seems am gonna need budget for packing essentials 😀
Thank you so much for the excellent advice. Very informative. Heavy duty cardboard definitely gives great peace of mind.
Great tips! Thank you!
Excellent! Thanks Peter. Helps me in my painting shipping.
excellent video, exactly the info i was looking for
Thank you Thank you. You are so helpful....
Thank you! this was a great tutorial
you're more than welcome!
Great video!! Very clear. Thank you so much! I'm going to look for more environmentally friendly alternatives to some of the materials used though..
Thank you so much for such fantastic and useful video!🧡🧡🧡
This is excellent! Thank you so much.
Excellent tutorial
I did basically same things you are showing when helping my granddaughter send some of her art to a customer. She is a new artist and selling a lot of her works and seems like sometimes she will need to mail. So glad I saw your video, well done and so proud of myself for figuring out 99% of what you showed. Thank you for the info
Really helpful, thanks.
Thank you for amazing video.
Agora, good job! :) :)
Great video, thanks.
Very nice, thanks a lot!
Thank you great information.
Thank you so much it is very detailed and informative tutorial ..
Tha k you for this. Super helpful!!!!
Wow, a good, informative video without some jerk here giving it a thumbs down. Finally!
This is sooooo good and helpful 😍😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks !
Great video for instruction. This should be basic on eBay art
thank you for information that so helpfull
Extremely helpful.. thank you. Where do you get your supplies, boxes, paper, tape, both kinds of bubble wrap?
Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you 😄
Extremely useful. I wonder if I can substitute parchment paper for the glassine, since I've never heard if it. Altering the box size will be useful. Thanks
+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.
Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces infos précieuses. Do you have any video for packaging the sculptures as well? Specially for heavy sculptures. Thanks!
This was so helpful. I wonder if I can use grease proof paper instead of glassine?
Excellent video, I am looking no further. Thank you
thanks for the great video. you may want to get a carton size reducer tool. it could save you some time.
Would this method also be suitable for long term storage of art work? Thanks and great video.
Great video! Do you think it is strong enough to ship internationally to Asia for a gallery wrapped canvas painting? I wonder if I need to use a crate which would increase the cost and I don't want to.
Great video, where do you purchase your boxes from?
Uline sells everything in bulk sizes. Great place to checkout for large paintings etc.
Hi! Where do you buy your boxes from? Thank you so much for the video! Very informative!
Yes please
Illuminating!!!
Thats all very well but where do you get the carboard boxes and corners?
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”.
Thank you.....
Hi Peter, I love your video it was very informative but I need your help. I have a large Lee Burr painting 50" x 60" which I will be shipping from NJ to GA and will be putting it in storage until I find a home in Ga. Where can I get a box bigger enough for this size painting? And if I pack the painting as you suggest how long can it stay in storage in the box with all that bubble wrap around it?
Moving within a June 2019. Please help!! Thanks so much
could you please make a same tutorial for a watercolour painting with a passepartout (larger then A3)?
This is expensive if you are a solo artist. Interesting to see how you do it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial! Would you recommend this method for a painting that is as large as 96" x 48"? When would you suggest that a crate is required to transport paintings?
+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.
Can kitchen wax paper be used to replace the glassine paper? I cannot find it here where I live :/
Thank you for your help! Great video!! Very clear and informative!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There's really no substitute material for glassine. We recommend ordering it online or talk to a local art handler for alternatives, just to be safe.
great video. Is there an alternative for this glassine paper? what is that stuff anyway ? is it similar to parchment? or gateway sheet maybe?
rambling tiger360 I just use baking paper or freezer paper can help too
Also is it necessary or can you just wrap it in bubble wrap?
@@tblack9711 I've heard that bubble wrap may stick to the surface of your painting. The paper is a protective layer to prevent sticking among other mishaps.
Where do you get your boxes for your artwork?
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.
@@thewoods8372 Look out for them on Facebook Marketplace. Some people just give them away from just having moved. I have also looked out and gotten a few right of the garbage, like empty large flat screen TV boxes.You can also check out companies who receive stuff in large boxes, who can possibly give them to you when they are undone packing. These large boxes are easier to franken-box to the right size.
The best informative advice on art packing I have come across. Thank you
Super informative! I did a little research and it does seem like a lot of these material especially if you're packing larger pieces, can get quite expensive. I'm seeing about roughly $40 worth of packing material for a medium sized painting if you're buying the packing material in non-industrial amounts.
professional !
You omitted one very important point....where do you get your boxes?
Hi I was told to un-stretch my paintings and ship them in a tube, is that a good idea? It seems to me like having it stretched and framed by someone else could be just as expensive and dangerous for the art as shipping it stretched.
Quick question-is there any difference between glassine and pallet wrap plastic? I watched a video of an artist who said he was told to use pallet wrap and that it wouldn't stick to an acrylic painting
Is it just me or could he be the real life One Punch Man? XD
Wolf Of Fangs I was thinking the exact same thing! Lol
Get out
I don't know what a "punch man" is,... but in the beginning of this dictorial, I was getting pretty freaked out because he looked like, moved like a bot. Sorry, nothing personal, just freaked me out a little. Thanks sooooo much for the great info. Well done.☺️
Hi, what size of Bubble you are using for this job, for example 3/16", 5/16" or 1/2" Thanks
I think I would put shipping/ contact information inside the Box too!!
Is there an easy way to make big custom boxes from cardboard sheets for international shipping?
Hi there! Thanks for this amazing video! I was wondering if there are any permits or extra precautions one needs to take when shipping an artwork to a different country/overseas. Packaging an artwork is a lot of work and I'd hate to take it over to the shipping company to be told that they need to open the box up and check particular things? I'm also told that any pieces of wood need some sort of permit to be able to cross borders, but the people at UPS don't seem to know much about this or who I could ask? I'd hate to sell a piece just to learn that it never arrived and am kind of nervous about it! Thanks, again!
hi did you ever figure this out? I am curious about it too
If you ship using wood crates, the wood used must be heat treated. Box and crate makers know the international shipping requirements. Google wood crate for international shipping and you will get the answer above.
I often ship paintings on baltic birch panels and it is fine shipping international - it's treated and water sealed before painting! Never had an issue shipping from Canada to 5 other countries (mostly US and Europe)
Glassine is expensive for me!Are there any cheaper alternatives ? I ask because I'm trying to start a small business and I am on a budget.
For shipments from one country to another tempered in frame, what do you recommend?
What do you think is the cheapest shipping method for a size like this? USPS, UPS, FedEx?
Very good tutorial. It would be good if there was an alternative to plastic though.
About the large canvas, is possible that the bubble wrap can exert pressure causing it to sink ?... especially in long distances.
There is a possibility. Bubble wrap is intended to go toward the item being protected. I would suggest double boxing anything of significant value, or that may be rare. Another means of protecting is the addition of the high density foam insulation you can find at major hardware stores. It will flex to a point but provides much more protection for the canvas. You can combine the ideas that are suggested here too. You can start with the glassine, then the dense foam insulation both sides (cut to fit), use painters tape to hold it together, then bubble wrap for the size needed. The good thing, when using the foam, is that the bubble can be applied toward the painting. Ultimately a crate may be your best bet, but it may cost more to replace the art than take the risk.
Thanks for the video! My question is can i roll a oil painting after a month of drying or how long do you usually wait? Thanks
We would recommend a minimum of 8-12 weeks before un-stretching and rolling an oil painting.
@@AgoraGalleryNYC Thank you!!
