Boxes with Fiberboard for International Art Shipping: Maximum Protection and Reliable Packaging for Paintings

Shipping valuable paintings and artworks abroad is always a risk, as standard packaging cannot protect against damage from drops and impacts. If you need to transport a valuable artwork, we offer a convenient solution. In our reinforced, patented boxes, we add two sheets of fiberboard (hardboard), which protect the front and back of the canvas from punctures, crushing, and heavy impacts. The box design already features a protective frame, and the addition of fiberboard provides extra rigidity and even better protection for the corners of the painting and its frame.

The Design of the Reinforced Box with Fiberboard for Shipping Paintings Abroad

The foundation is our proprietary reinforced design, which has been successfully tested over 7 years of operation. We have shipped and successfully delivered more than 3,000 parcels to 70 countries worldwide. The main feature of this type of box is the inclusion of two solid sheets of fiberboard, 2-3 mm thick. One sheet securely covers the front of the painting, and the second — the back. This "capsule" consists of:

Five-layer corrugated cardboard: a high-density outer layer.
Two solid 2-3 mm fiberboard sheets: create a rigid shield that protects against punctures, crushing, and impacts.
Rigid frame made of cardboard corners: "stiffening ribs" protect every edge and corner.
Medium-density styrofoam: absorbs vibrations during delivery and provides cushioning for impacts and drops.
Bubble wrap: isolates from moisture, dust, and micro-scratches.

This is a special solution by the ArtDom workshop, designed for peace of mind at an affordable price. The higher the parcel weight, the higher the shipping rate. A fiberboard box for shipping a painting abroad is the golden mean — reliable and, at the same time, lightweight packaging. Such reinforced boxes easily compensate for the severe stresses during handling at sorting terminals, customs warehouses, and airports.

Patented Technology for Safe Export

Any box used for shipping paintings goes through a complex journey: customs inspections, conveyor belts, and loading into road and air transport. To prevent damage during inspection, we have patented a special technology (a Ukrainian patent for a utility model).

It allows customs inspectors to easily open and carefully close the packaging without compromising its structural integrity or losing its strength. Furthermore, our packaging fully complies with the standards of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).

Who Needs Reinforced Boxes for Paintings?

This category of packaging is designed to meet the needs of various customer groups who demand absolute safety for their cargo:

Professional artists: ensuring an expensive piece reaches a buyer on another continent in pristine condition.
Gallery owners: for the safe shipment of exhibits to international exhibitions, where the artwork's presentable appearance upon arrival is crucial.
Collectors: for the reliable transportation of expensive acquisitions and investment art pieces.
People relocating: reinforced boxes will save your personal valuables during large-scale loading into transport vehicles.

Custom Manufacturing at the ArtDom Workshop

We manufacture reinforced boxes for international art shipping tailored to your specific request:

Precise dimensions: The finished packaging will be 5–10 cm larger than the canvas itself. This space is necessary for the proper placement of the fiberboard sheets, styrofoam, and protective film.
Timeframes of 1–3 days: We can manufacture custom-sized packaging for a single artwork, heavily framed paintings, or several canvases at once.
Convenience: Upon request, we will equip the structure with sturdy rope or strap handles for comfortable carrying.

Reminder: for official export, you will need an expert permit to export paintings abroad. Our specialists will help you obtain these documents and provide a quick calculation of the international shipping rate (within 10 minutes).
