ART PACKAGING MATERIALS FOR SHIPMENT

"Bj., I started selling on eBay and am having a hard time finding packing materials for my art prints.  What do you use?"

After an exhaustive search, I have found assured ways to package the work to arrive at 'happy' customers.  *18x24 inch work packed with either method still meets US postal for Priority Mail minimum rate. I prepack all artwork on paper in clear envelopes with foam board support.  This also serves to protect the artwork, until your customer can get to the framers.

1.  18x24, or other size-350lb corrugated sheets, which you may then, cut to size.
2.  Up to 18x24 size-'Mirror', or 'Glass-pack' boxes that are lined with rigid foam and art nestled between.
3.  9x12 image size work will fit perfectly in the Priority Mail boxes measuring 12x16x3.  These are FREE from the USPS site.
