THANK YOU " VERY MUCH ❤, I didn't really know " How " I was going to Wrap my " Enhanced ," Paintings,,, But you Gave me A WONDERFUL idea,,,, Again Thanks. Bronx NY, USA.
To comment on the bubble wrap; I once sent an oil painting wrapped in acid free brown paper with bubble wrap and I had the bubbles in. When it got to it's destination, the varnish had taken on the circles on the bubbles. Luckily I was able to correct it for them when I was in their area a couple weeks later. So yea, no more bubble wrap faced in, and I put a piece of cardboard between the first layer and the bubbles :p
Wow! I dream of having to refer back to this video to ship out my big pieces!! Maybe today will be the day. Thank you for showing all your tips and guidance on starting out. Just went all in to be full time artist. Picked up first paint brush a year ago and just want to keep doing it!!!
You are absolutely incredible, and no , you don't talk too much, your information is so helpfull, and little input and expérience comment are always welcome. Keep going. We can see you love doing your work, and this is a great motivation for anyone.....Monick
Thank you for the video! I am shipping a big painting today and I was trying to figure out how get a box the right size (boxes are absurdly expensive for no apparent reason). Your technique gets rid of the need for a box, so thank you so much!
This looks like a pretty good option that I'm goin to try when we move. I have several large paintings of mine that need to get packed. My wife's company packed my paintings 25 years ago with custom made wood crates for each painting. (can't believe they paid for that) This method looks like a more affordable and frankly easier method.
Great vid! :) Of course you have to see the expenses of the packaging in relation to the piece. If I were to send out my paintings, which are smaller scale, and with a totally different price range, that polycarbonate sheet will already be quite expensive. But I reckon either a wooden board or 2-3 layers of cardboard might work too. Also love the added information about the certificate. Would love to see a whole video on details like that, the paperwork and personalizing the delivery of the product to the customer.
The plastified card that they use for outdoor signs and election posters works much better than cardboard. It's much more rigid, but the same weight and doesn't absorb moisture. Very cheap too (during election season!)
Thank you for your incredible videos!! I'm an interior designer, recent empty nester and have picked up my paintbrushes after 25 years of not using them!! My goal is to create custom pieces for my clients and who knows, maybe it grows from there. I am binge watching your videos and have learned something from every one of them. Your work is stunning and you are inspiring me to just do it and not be afraid to try and experiment with different mediums, techniques, etc. Keep the videos coming please!!
A snow emergency just declared from 6p.m.this evening, till 12 p.m. on Sunday here in the Midwestern U.S. - And who jumps into my feed but Swarez wrapping a painting! We found it amusing that you're wrapping a parcel, and were wrapped in blankets waiting for the house to warm back up from an outage early this morning! Good information to know! You and Ady stay warm!
@@SwarezArt ciao, well I try to speak English! I wait you in my country medievale ( Cervo Ligure , Italy) where painters and musicians come from all over the world in Summer . It would be nice to meet you in person. If you want before check it out on Google, I hope, Will like it . See you !♥️❇️✳️🙋🏻♀️ Hugs from Cervo Ligure IT🎨🖌️🎻🎼 and good food...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was nervous about sending my large framed canvases by courier… now feel well equipped with the appropriate technique and have ordered the right supplies!
@@kellieahlart I don't use any specific courier as they all differ from time to time on service and price. Mostly I hand deliver within the UK so I don't really have much call for them domestically. Yes, most won't inusre which has always been a problem.
It's good to see somebody from the UK. My art is not overly large, but I do use foam wrap, bubble wrap and then I use really thick bin bags. I think maybe a polycarbonate sheet is a bit over the top for me, but I can understand that if you are sending abroad you need that extra security. Regarding the bubble wrap thing, I have always wrapped with the bubbles inside and haven't had any problems as far as I know because the foam wrap is protecting the painting. I think in future though I will wrap with the bubbles on the outside. I sent a resin piece out one time and was so worried about it that I put some thin card against it which will sort the problem. One really needs to think about the cost of packaging, which is quite high when you take it all into account, particularly the foam and bubble wrap. Just have to ask a lot for shipping I guess. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Love your demonstration. I also do large paintings for acrylics but I also do watercolor at another 11x17 with a 3-4” May around. I was making crates for everything to ship from old pallets (which I got for free as toss offs). I do use bubble wrap and newsprint or vellum directly on top of the painting; definitely cardboard then. What you do makes sense; less expensive to ship than crates which FEDEX/UPS won’t take. I have to use private truckers when I crate which can be expensive. I recently found some moving companies will help if they have a run to the city you need. But you have to make sure you have some One on the other end. Thank you for the presentation and not drawing it out. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the excellent example of how to ship a painting. I believe that is the best I have seen online. the poly sheeting board is perfect for this and probably any other product that needs protection. Love your accent too..
Thanks for this video. I have shipped several paintings across the US and always worry about them being damaged. No issues so far, but your method of packaging your work seems just about foolproof. Cheers!
Great video with some clever solutions. I was hoping to find an alternative to an exterior cardboard covering as its expensive and doesn't seem to offer much protection. If the item is already protected (bubble wrap + polycarbonate roofing sheet) it only needs a cover -> Pallet wrap :) ! I'm shipping mosaic art adhered to tile backer board (Lightweight foam core faced with thin cement and mesh sheets). Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for this very well done, detailed video. I have yet to ship a framed piece of art and I watched this to get an idea or two before ever attempting it myself. Great information! To add my 2 cents about bubble wrap, I only recently learned it's bubbles out for the better protection. Who knew? I believe it deflects the impact of force away from the item you're trying to protect.
Thanks a million for the speedy reply. That is great news, simplifies the mystery of Insurance costs. Love your work and videos, great presentation clear speech and audio - great fun and entertaining too. Continued success. Brian
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. Where did you get the felt covering for your work table? Looks like a great surface for all types of work. Thank you!
Realy enjoing your videos! I just started painting at Christmas this year and felt in love with it. You are one of my only 2-3 channels/artists (that I actually filtered out of hundreds so far) that fit my personal taste of what is appealing and colorfull abstract art that I enjoy watching and learn some. I'm working as sign maker and Im wrapping a lot too and so far I can tell that you should devenetly turn the bubbles to the inside because they pop much faster from the "bubble side". The foil layer where they "sit on" is a little bit thicker than the foil of the bubbles itself and helps to protect them from popping. If you want to upgrade your safety for a little price it might be another good option to buy some of these blue edge guards (those looking like pool noodles) they aren't expensive and give a little extra safety for the edges. But in the end if everything went fine for the last years it's not necessary. "You don't need it until you would have needed it" if that makes sense... (English isn't my mothers speech😅)
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, you have just solved so many issues for this big canvas painter! I have been trying to figure out how to ship without using expensive crates/professional crating services or make custom sized boxes! (Wood is outrageously expensive here in the US right now with the supply shortages, this is BRILLIANT!) Question: how do you instruct your clients to OPEN this package without ripping the canvas with a blade or cutting tool? I know the next set of questions sound silly and obvious to ask but I am constantly surprised about the damage I have seen with clients opening boxes with cutting tools. Could one accidentally cut through the backside far enough into the front and rip the canvas? Do you place a label indicating which side to open from? Would you recommend sending an email to the client with instructions on how to safely open this kind of packaging? Again, it’s obvious to artists what to do but I want to provide safe unwrapping instructions to a potential first time buyer. Thank you for your time and job well done explaining this process, thanks!
Hi Robin. Easy answer is to send them a little video from your phone! I always recommend they cut with a blade across either of the flat surfaces. All they need avoid is the sides. That's it! Nothing more. Explain that in a video from your phone and that should be all you need! Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Thanks Jane! I don't recommend any single courier because there are so many options and service levels that I tend to choose what's best for the client and country I am shipping to. Try using a comparison site to look at your best options for things like time and cost. That's all i ever do! Besides, not all couriers operate in all areas so it can mean you have to shop around anyway. Hope that helps. Ed
@@SwarezArt thank you the quick reply. I just read in your bio that you are Gloucestershire based, so am I. I really enjoyed watching you videos. As I am just starting out on my art career journey.
@@SwarezArt Me again. Just watched your vid on packaging the the 3m wide painting. Should I take that approach with a 2m x98cm sizes canvas? Or can I still get away with this method? Thanks
Thank you for this detailed video. I have got my first commission to post overseas and this will help me to protect it until it arrives at its destination. Many thanks again.
Wow! The’re so lucky having that treasure… im just new here and started to watch ur videos during my free time.. having one of your art piece is my biggest dream now haha..
Thanks for a great video! Any suggestions for when you are sending to an exhibition and you need them to send back in the same packaging? In this method, it seems that you cannot expect the recipient to be able to repack and ship it back easily.
It’s an excellent question for sure, but not one I think I can answer as I’ve never had to do that! It’s a problem definitely and you need someone at the other end to give a crap and pack everything properly right? A wooden crate may be an answer but it will get expensive. Maybe someone can offer a comment? Anyone?
Hello, I really loved this video, especially how simple the steps were. I've also just finished watching your video on packing large pieces for shipping in crates. I was wondering if you could please do a video on packing medium to large mixed-media art pieces ( art work has slight protrusions about an inch from the surface of the canvas) and how best to protect them. Also what are the merits of using packing peanuts instead of bubble wrap? Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! I don't have anything that fits the mixed-media criteria so could prove to be tricky. No real difference between peanuts and bubble wrap in my opinion - only one is less messy! I really have to sit and think about the protrusions - not sure how to approach that...
So informative and pleasant to watch at the same time! Another great video from Swarez, yay!! I was looking for some information on this subject and haven't found anything as useful before. Thank you for making it! Hope the winner gets in touch
@@SwarezArt Ah gotcha! It was the black that had got me thinking it was something else, I never knew it came in black! Quite a nice effect, will be looking into getting some - cheers! ;-)
Thank you for all you do. It has been quite trasnformative and iteratively informative as I have learnt techniques, approaches to taking your art to the next level and so on. I am curious if there is an opportunity to get involved more closely in the learning process, like a closed group, subscription and so on. Thank you, again.
You are very welcome, glad we could help. There isn't any closed group or learning circle - that's why we have TH-cam. But if that ever becomes a thing I will let you know!!!
Cool thank you! I paint in acrylics on thin canvas panels and there is an issue with bringing anything in contact with the surface when packing. Still trying to find a solution.
Best packing video of actual “large” artwork. Some artist think anything over 8x10 is considered large. This was exactly what I’ve been looking for. QUESTION: If I was packing up multiple pieces of my artwork to ship in a shipping container, do you think cardboard between paintings would allow to put more than one together? Only needing the roofing product on the outside? I’m in San Diego, CA moving to Richmond, VA with a small cube container. Hopefully not a lot of banging…but still would like all of them to arrive without damage. I have ten (10) extra large and probably ten (10) smaller. Thank you.
Thanks Gale. Cardboard should be okay and I would always recommend some kind of foam wrap for added protection. That's particularly useful where corners are concerned! Roof sheet for the outside - yes. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much - I'm glad it's been of help!
Thank you, great demo and info. Unless I missed it, what is that black sticky wrap you covered the whole thing with finally? Thanks again ;-)
Thanks Gordon. It's simply a palette wrap - you can get it from almost any packing supplies company. Sometimes called shrink wrap/parcel wrap too
@@SwarezArt Ah gotcha! It was the black that had got me thinking it was something else, I never knew it came in black! Quite a nice effect, will be looking into getting some - cheers! ;-)
@@gordonbryanart glad I could help Gordon! Have a lovely day - Ed

You can send that one to me. Lol! Good info.
Haha! Thank you!
Thank you for all you do. It has been quite trasnformative and iteratively informative as I have learnt techniques, approaches to taking your art to the next level and so on. I am curious if there is an opportunity to get involved more closely in the learning process, like a closed group, subscription and so on. Thank you, again.
You are very welcome, glad we could help. There isn't any closed group or learning circle - that's why we have TH-cam. But if that ever becomes a thing I will let you know!!!
Cool thank you! I paint in acrylics on thin canvas panels and there is an issue with bringing anything in contact with the surface when packing. Still trying to find a solution.
your art is phenomenal! you deserve more subscribers dude!
Thank you so much 😀
Mükemmel bir paketleme yapıldı.Tebrikler.

Best packing video of actual “large” artwork. Some artist think anything over 8x10 is considered large. This was exactly what I’ve been looking for. QUESTION: If I was packing up multiple pieces of my artwork to ship in a shipping container, do you think cardboard between paintings would allow to put more than one together? Only needing the roofing product on the outside? I’m in San Diego, CA moving to Richmond, VA with a small cube container. Hopefully not a lot of banging…but still would like all of them to arrive without damage. I have ten (10) extra large and probably ten (10) smaller. Thank you.
Thanks Gale. Cardboard should be okay and I would always recommend some kind of foam wrap for added protection. That's particularly useful where corners are concerned! Roof sheet for the outside - yes. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much, this is incredibly valuable info. Cheers!
You are very welcome!
