Also, for transporting fragile and valuable art objects, we manufacture reinforced boxes from fiberboard, plywood and OSB boards. They are more reliable, but also much heavier than a cardboard box. More details about reinforced boxes for transportation, sending paintings - follow the link. |

A very economical option is to deliver paintings in a roll. The painting is removed from the stretcher, rolled up and placed in a tube. An important condition is that the tube must have stiffening ribs to withstand heavy loads and save the painting from fractures. Also, the tube must have a removable lid so that at customs it can be opened and the contents checked against the documents. Want buy a reinforced tube for painting delivery - follow the link. |
To successfully pass customs control, each piece of art must have permission to export paintings, sculptures. ArtDom Gallery helps with the execution of state examination in 1 day. The cost depends on the number of items for which you order documents.
You can pay for the packaging on our website by going to link.
We also help with the delivery of paintings all over the world. We cooperate with several postal services that currently operate in Ukraine - Ukrposhta, DHL and Meest Express. The cost of delivery is calculated individually based on the size of the paintings, their quantity and the country of delivery. For reference, we provide approximate prices for the delivery of paintings to the USA from Ukrposhta.
| IMPORTANT! If you are shipping, transporting paintings as personal items, be sure to indicate "For personal use". This will reinforce the fact that your art objects are not the subject of entrepreneurial activity (for example, export for an exhibition, sale, etc.). In this case, you are exempt from declaring, reporting and paying customs duties. |

How to Properly Pack a Painting or Sculpture
The packaging of paintings should ensure their safety and allow customs services to open them for verification with export documents. Photos of the painting packaging process by ArtDom specialists:
1) First, wrap the painting in bubble wrap in 2 layers
2) wrap generously, on both sides
3) we take thick cardboard, it is light (saving on shipping costs, since weight is also taken into account during shipping) and provides good protection during transportation
4) we put a sheet of polystyrene foam, cut to the size of the painting
5) we place a painting, which is already in bubble wrap, on a sheet of polystyrene foam
6) an important part of the construction of paintings are the corners of the stretchers and frames, so we always put pieces of thick foam rubber in the corners
7) we insert pieces of polystyrene foam into the free openings around the perimeter of the painting
8) cover the second side of the painting with a sheet of polystyrene foam
9) "close" the package with a sheet of thick painting. Such a design will reliably protect during shipment and deliver your painting intact and safe. Also, such packaging will allow customs services to temporarily open the parcel to check the painting against the prepared documents for export of the painting across the border.
We are always happy to help you and advise you on all issues.

1) The quality of packaging and materials must guarantee the integrity and safety of the paintings.
Packaging should protect against falls, impacts, moisture, leaks and other factors that can harm the work of art. Therefore, we tightly pack the paintings in polyethylene film, then bubble wrap, cover with layers of polystyrene and foam rubber. In some cases, we use solid sheets of fiberboard and make a wooden frame.
2) Painting boxes should be easy to open and close.
Each painting is supplied with an individual corrugated cardboard box, which resembles a pizza box. This design will allow customs services to open the box when leaving and entering another country, check it against the export documents, close the box back and maintain the integrity of the structure..
Order packaging of art objects
If you have valuable art pieces such as paintings, sculptures and you are going to transport them, then you need to ensure reliable packaging to keep them in perfect condition..
In this matter, we recommend that you contact professionals in this field and order a service for packing art objects to avoid damage and loss during transportation..
Advantages of packaging paintings from the ArtDom gallery:
✦ We have been making boxes and sending paintings abroad for over 10 years;
✦ Guarantee of the safety of paintings, integrity of packaging and prompt delivery;
✦ The experience gained allowed us to improve the design of boxes and technology for shipping paintings;
✦ Our packaging has a small weight of paintings and as a result - a small price when sending by mail. Also, light packaging is convenient if you transport the painting yourself. For example, with a painting weighing 2 kg, the total weight with the box is only 4 kg, which will significantly reduce the cost of delivery for you without losing the quality of the packaging.
✦ In some cases, we add fiberboard sheets and make a wooden frame for greater reliability of the preservation of the painting and canvas. This will add a little weight, but will give everyone confidence in the quality of the packaging of the painting and safety during transportation.
Frequently asked questions about transporting and sending paintings abroad:
Should I remove my painting from its frame before shipping it abroad?
If you send a painting in a frame, it will serve as a protective frame and will guarantee that the painting will arrive intact. In addition, you have already spent money on framing the painting, or even better - the frame was made by the artist himself. In this case, leave the painting in the frame and calmly send or transport it. It is also worth noting the high cost of framing paintings abroad - if in baguette workshops in Ukraine framing costs from $ 50, then, for example, in Europe prices sometimes start from 300 euros.
Is it necessary to remove a painting from its stretcher before sending it abroad?
As a rule, this question is relevant when the painting is of a very large format. Indeed, sometimes this is the only budget option for sending a painting abroad. But we still recommend not to disturb the painting. When removing the painting from the stretcher, you deform the structure of the canvas, the paint layer, which will damage the painting. Even if the painting is protected by several layers of varnish, you will need to stretch the painting on the stretcher. Abroad, the cost of such services sometimes starts from 50 euros.
Is it possible to roll up a painting and send it abroad in a tube?
Indeed, this will reduce the cost of shipping the painting, since you will reduce the volume of the parcel or save space during transportation. But again, we recommend not to remove the paintings from the stretchers, and send them as is. The meaning of the painting is to be in its original form, without fractures, craquelure and other unpleasant nuances. We make high-quality packaging at an affordable price, so your painting will definitely arrive intact. You can order a reinforced tube for sending a painting in a roll by following the link.
Is it possible to use plywood when shipping paintings abroad?
The first point is that customs services require phytosanitary standards for its use. The second point is that this material is not practical, it is very heavy, absorbs moisture and deforms depending on the humidity. Large parcels are significantly heavier than normal, which significantly increases the cost of delivery. We use more practical materials that are lightweight and guarantee the safety of the paintings. These are solid sheets of fiberboard the size of the paintings, multilayer corrugated cardboard and a wooden frame.
How to clear paintings through customs for transportation across the border?
Each case requires an individual approach. Depends on the number of paintings, the country of import and other factors. If you are transporting, sending paintings for personal purposes (transportation of things, a gift), then indicate this in the customs documents. In this case, the recipient of the parcel or you upon entry will not pay "customs clearance", which sometimes reaches 20%.
What materials are used for packaging?
We use only high-quality materials to create individual packaging for each exhibit, including foam, cardboard, soft plastic, bubble wrap and other materials that provide maximum protection during transportation.
How long does it take to pack and transport exhibits?
The time of packaging and transportation depends on the quantity and size of exhibits, as well as the distance and conditions of transportation. We always try to complete the work in the shortest possible time, without compromising the quality of packaging and the safety of exhibits.
Is it possible to order packaging for exhibits of non-standard sizes?
Yes, we are ready to provide individual packaging for exhibits of any size and shape, including non-standard ones.
