Art Shipping from Colorado Springs

Packing & Shipping Services for Artwork

Packing art - family heirlooms, paintings, framed photos and lithographs, textiles, pottery, glass, sculptures, one-of-a-kind pieces - requires special care and, sometimes, white-glove services. Artists, galleries, museums, auction houses, and individual family members have welcomed Pak Mail's artwork packing and shipping expertise since 1996.

The appropriate packing and shipping method is selected by reviewing the artwork's fragility and value, and the customer or artist's budget. Packaging methods may include glass mask, acid-free paper, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, a protective corrugated sandwich, closed-cell foam, or Styrofoam for framed pieces; crates and bracing for sculptures; or double boxing for glass and pottery. We stock a wide variety of manufactured corrugated boxes and raw materials to make corrugated and wooden boxes to fit.

When shipping high-value, one-of-a-kind, or sentimental art, we recommend that our customers:

• Keep purchase receipts or appraisals as evidence of value.
• If there is no evidence indicating value, seek to have it documented with an appraisal or a published price for a similar item.
• Take several photos of the item to document its condition.

Then bring the item to Pak Mail.
