Reinforced tube for delivery of a painting in a roll

When the picture is large, the cost of logistics is correspondingly higher. After all, the tariff is calculated based on size and weight. For example, the tariff for delivery of a picture on a stretcher 150 x 100 cm in the USA will exceed 500 u.o. Therefore, one of the ways to save money on the international delivery of large paintings is to send them in a roll.

Before you decide to remove the canvas from the frame, you need to make sure that the picture will retain its appearance and value. After all, if the paint falls off, cracks - you can no longer transport it. As they say, the picture is valuable - for now it is intact. When making a decision to remove from the subframe, you should make sure of the following factors:

quality canvas for paintings

- the painting is painted on high-quality canvas;

covering the canvas with a primer

- the canvas was well primed (for example, not only at the factory, but also by the artist himself);

high-quality oil paints for painting

- the artist used high-quality paints to paint the painting;

the artist's painting at the exhibition

- the painting is of medium freshness (the paints are dry, not fresh, but not quite old either) and the paint layer does not crack when rolled into a roll.

It is also necessary to take into account individual characteristics. For example, if the artist has a large, pasty brushstroke, such paints require special attention. With the combination of these factors, it is really possible to save money on the delivery of a picture abroad. After all, sending a painting in a tube will reduce the cost of delivery by 2-4 times.

The advantages of such a tube are that it can withstand a greater load and will not damage the contents. This design will preserve the painting even if something heavy falls on top of the tube or if the tube itself falls and hits the ground.
