Gift wrapping for paintings, art, sculptures

Why It Is Important to Properly Pack Works of Art

Art is one of the most valuable creations of human creativity, so it is important to handle it carefully and pack it properly to preserve its beauty and integrity. Proper packaging is especially necessary when gifting paintings, sculptures, or artwork.

Improper packaging can lead to mechanical damage, scratches, scuffs, and even the destruction of paintings. Therefore, to avoid these problems, attention must be paid to the choice of materials and the correct packaging technique.

Gift wrapping for paintings, graphics, and sculptures is an art form in itself. The packaging should create intrigue and temporarily conceal the contents of the gift. Moreover, gift wrapping will create a festive feeling and add prestige to the item you are gifting.

Unlike packaging for international shipping of paintings, gift wrapping primarily focuses on attractiveness and presentability rather than durability.

Choosing Materials for Packaging Paintings, Sculptures, Icons

When selecting materials for packaging paintings, sculptures, and icons, it is important to consider their material, dimensions, weight, as well as the conditions of transportation and storage. Additionally, the choice of materials should ensure reliable protection for the artwork and minimize the risk of damage.

For packaging paintings in paper, it is best to use paper bags or rolls that provide reliable protection against light and moisture. Corrugated sheets can also be used for packaging.

When packaging paintings as gifts, it is essential to consider not only the protection of the artwork but also the aesthetic appearance of the packaging. Gift wrapping or decorative paper with bright and original designs can be used for this purpose.

For sculptures and icons, the choice of materials should also depend on their material, size, and weight. For small sculptures, foam or craft paper can be used, while larger ones require wooden frames or cardboard boxes. Icons are best packed in special cardboard or wooden boxes.

Experts at the ArtDom gallery offer several types of gift packaging for paintings and sculptures:

Gift Wrapping for Paintings – Kraft Paper and Twine

This is a quick, simple, and elegant way to present a painting. However, this type of wrapping is not the most reliable and serves more as temporary, decorative packaging.

Individual Gift Bags for Paintings

A convenient and effective way to pack and transport paintings. We use very dense paper for the bags and durable rope handles with eyelets. This allows you to carry the painting comfortably and quickly remove it from the packaging.
