How I package my artwork for shipping

Here's some simple tips on how I safely and cheaply package my original artwork and commissions for shipping.

I am a pet portrait artist based in the UK and use Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery for shipping to mainland UK to ensure the artwork arrives safely and efficiently.

If you have any questions about shipping, packaging or art in general please leave me a comment and I'll get back to you. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so so much! I’ve been having trouble to think of the right way to package artwork. This is so so useful!

I love how you reuse everything. Thank you for showing us! When I started, I used to do that but it got to the point that it was taking too long cutting cardboard, so I now order them precut. I also don’t get big enough cardboard anymore and the ones I do get are bent or very dirty.

This is a great idea. Just what I was looking for. I was thinking I'd need to find some Flt boxes to ship flat pieces securely, but this looks great as it can be cut to the exact size required. Thank you.

This has to be the best one yet!!! I saw something similar on a blog but this is way better, I love how you wrap it up after... this looks very affordable too! Thank you so much.

Hi really helpful video. I am just starting out with artwork comissions. Have you ever shipped abroad and if you have how have you found that in terms of shipping cost and unsurance etc? Thanks 👍

I’m sorry I didn’t get that first part, what type of paper do you wrap the drawing in?

I also re-use sturdy cardboard that larger products get delivered in. I agree about being better for the environment. I do pretty much the same process as you lol. do you buy the cellophane in a roll? I have sleeves of various sizes.

Where do you order your business cards from and the personalised paper you write messages on? Where can I get that film you put over your art at the beginning? Where can I get parcel paper?

Hi! I'm wondering when you ship your parcels using royal mail, do you choose 'large letter' or 'small parcel'? Thanks!

How much does the shipping cost usually?? Shipping is so expensive it seems when I print out labels from home .. if it’s cheaper to just drop it off at the post office I will just do that idk lol

Shannon I know you “mount” your work For your customers before sending it away. But I have a rookie question. What really does that mean? Do you mind explaining that to a beginner? Thank you so much

[girijaaborah]

Did you print your artwork and then sell it

[rtist_god]

Do you order this plastic and cardboards from amazon from where do i get this material?
