This is my first time shipping out one of my paintings I was so nervous until I came across your video you made so easy I did exactly what you did and it came out great 😁 Thank you for sharing your talent.
Very nice - aesthetic and neat. Professional looking. I would say this though: I caution against packing it in so tight. Some people tend to open their packages with knives and the artwork can be damaged. Leave some negative space in the box and write on the box to open with scissors. I've had great success with this. ✌️💛
I have never shipped my art pieces, I'm still painting and usually just place them around my house but this is a great break down and hopefully I get to the point where i might sell some or send them to my family and friends as a fun gift
Thankyou for this information. My problem is that I have paintings that are 'Textured' with plaster and feel I may not be able to ship these out without damage to the textured surface. Ummm!
I have not shipped any of my paintings yet. I went through a brief pour painting phase but kept them all bc I didnt know how to ship them. It's really interesting to see the different methods of how people package their paintings.
I am so terrified about shipping this video was very helpful to me and looks much less expensive then some of the other videos I've seen. I do have a couple questions for you tho, 1 what was that brown paper called and 2 is their a way for them to pick it up from your house I'm disabled and going places like that can be very challenging for me especially when I'm trying to carry something with me
Very well explained.. thank you 💖💖 Would like to know about packaging a painting made on an art sheet and not on canvas. I have some spare sheets and would like to use them. Please guide.
Instead of making corners, cut the board an inch larger than your art sheet. So you have 2 protective boards sandwiching your art. Wrap your art in tissue paper. Tape the tissue paper on the wrapped art onto of the boards. Tape the other board on top. Secure corners with more tape. Wrap in packaging 📦 label fragile! Do Not Bend! Good luck!
I have shipped paintings twice now using a different process. This process does seem easier. But all my shippers in my town will not take artwork unless it is in a corrugated box on the outside. Which I have found hard to find proper sizes for the canvases I am using. The 2nd time I shipped, I had the qwick pack and ship pack it and ship it unfortunately it did not get to the customer. Now I have an open claim trying to locate it. So make sure you have your cm sign for the package. Where is the best place to order or get this foamboard you speak of?
I am exactly at this stage now where I would like to sell paintings on canvas but the fear of not knowing how to package them and ship them is stopping me. Thank you for this video, it looks pretty simple compared to other videos that I have watched 😊 do you follow the same method for bigger canvasses too?
Yes you can. I would add more corner and another layer of protection and think about getting shipping insurance. Good luck! I wish you well with your journey! 💜
What do you tell the client as far as the shipping cost if you don't know how much the shipping is until you bring the packaged piece to the post office.
Great question. The first ones are a bit tricky because you aren't sure. You can take paintings in to the post office unpackaged and they can give you a general idea of what they would be. Etsy also gives an estimate based on the sizes. Once you are shipping more you'll have a better idea. It is all based on size and then weight. This 16 x 20 was no more than $15
This is great information. Thank you for sharing. My daughter recently started doing canvas art and we want to do an Etsy shop but shipping has definitely been holding us back lol ... have you had any trouble with the art being damaged shipping this way?
@@christinajewell11 I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 I’m still looking for how to ship painting here. Your tips are very helpful for package 📦. Thank you so so much darling 🙏🏻
Have you taken your artwork to the next level and started shipping?
Thanks for sharing your video. You gave me the encouragement i needed.
Thank u for showing how to package my painting I believe it will be less then having post office do it .
Packaged and shipped my first artpiece. Thank you
You're cautious like me. This gave me confidence that might art can be shipped safely.
This is the first I’m seeing a different method of packaging, thank you so much for sharing, and for your encouragement! ❤

I've had people ask me to ship but I always just say I only sell locally cause I'm nervous.

No problems so far, but you can purchase insurance at the post office for more valuable pieces. Good luck!
