How to Safely Ship Custom Artwork – A Guide from The Packaging Doctor
Welcome back to the Packaging Doctor's office! It's always exciting to meet clients from various industries who come seeking expert advice on packaging solutions. Whether it's helping pet owners safely transport their furry friends, ensuring delicious baked goods arrive intact, or making sure brides receive their dream wedding dresses in pristine condition, we're here to offer practical and cost-effective tips.
Today, we're addressing an interesting case involving an artist who wants to ship a delicate, custom-made sculpture overseas to Saudi Arabia. Let me walk you through the simple yet effective solution I recommended while keeping costs low.
Dear Doctor,
I specialize in creating intricate 3D art pieces, and usually my clients visit my studio to pick up their finished work. However, I recently got an incredible opportunity to sell one of my creations to a buyer located in Saudi Arabia! My concern now is how best to protect this delicate artwork during transit since parts of it are quite fragile. If any part breaks off en route, it could ruin the entire piece. First impressions matter a lot in this business, and I want my customer to be completely satisfied with both the quality and presentation of their purchase. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much,
Bryony

Hello Bryony,
Thank you for reaching out to us today with your query. Don't worry—help is at hand! The Packaging Doctor has just the right plan for you that not only works for this particular shipment but also serves as a reliable method going forward.
To begin with, we must prioritize protecting the artwork itself. Large bubble wrap is ideal for this purpose. Bubble wrap is widely used in the arts community due to its large bubbles and excellent cushioning properties. Simply measure the required amount, wrap the artwork carefully, and secure it with adhesive tape. This approach shields the piece from dust, moisture, and accidental impacts during handling and transportation.
Using bubble wrap ensures minimal additional weight is added to the package, which helps reduce shipping expenses—a crucial factor when sending items across long distances like deserts!
Next comes the external packaging. For robustness and safety during transit, heavy-duty mailing bags are highly recommended. These bags are crafted using multiple layers of reinforced polyethylene film, providing superior strength and durability against pressure and abrasion.
Our mailing bags are fully opaque, enhancing privacy and security, especially important when shipping internationally. They give off a polished appearance, aligning perfectly with your goal of making a great first impression.
There you go—you've successfully covered all bases without breaking the bank. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
I hope this advice proves useful to you. Wishing you continued success in your artistic endeavors.
Warm regards,
The Packaging Doctor
