4. Packaging

All artworks will be packed thoroughly before being sent to you. Our more than 20-years’ experience allows us to say that we do know how to properly pack artworks to ensure their safe transportation.
We predefine a packaging method for each artwork. The predefined method is included in the artwork price and specified in the artwork description. The final choice is always up to you. However, it may be related to an extra change as mentioned above in the Price chapter.

There are several ways we safely pack artworks:

● flat package:

○ used for paintings on canvas, all framed artworks on paper and small and middle size artworks on paper without frames;
○ an artwork is properly wrapped in paper and/or bubble wrap and protected by hard foamboards or cardboards on both sides;
○ paintings on canvas are shipped mounted on stretchers;
○ framed artworks are shipped with frames.

● rolled on a tube: used for big-size paintings on canvas; a big-diameter tube plays a role of hard base for painting; an artwork rolled on a tube then wrapped in bubble wrap and protected by flexible cardboard; artworks are shipped without stretchers or frames;
● rolled in a tube: used for big-size artworks on paper; an artwork shipped without stretchers or a fame; a hard plastic or cardboard tube itself protects an artwork on the way;
● box: used for sculptures and paintings on wood; an artwork is properly wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a box made of foamboard and protected by cardboard.

Reliability of all above packaging methods is proved by time.

● Postal service: we use the most suitable of two our long-term partners either Czech Post or Express Mail Service (EMS) depending on destination country, selected packaging method and final size of a package; delivery takes 1-3 weeks again depending on the same factors;
