At Richardson Fine Art, oversized wall art can be shipped in a variety of ways depending on its size, weight, and fragility. Here are some common methods:
-
Rolled in a tube: This is the most common way to ship large canvas prints or posters. The artwork is carefully rolled into a sturdy tube with protective layers between each sheet of paper or canvas.
-
Flat in a box: Some oversized art pieces may be too delicate or heavy to roll, and will need to be shipped flat. They are sandwiched between layers of protective materials like foam, cardboard, or bubble wrap and then placed in a sturdy box.
-
Crated: For extremely large or heavy pieces, they may need to be crated for shipping. This involves building a custom wooden crate around the artwork for extra protection during transportation.
-
White glove delivery: In some cases, oversized wall art may require a specialized delivery service known as "white glove" delivery. This means that the artwork is carefully handled by professionals who will bring it inside your home and place it exactly where you want it.
Regardless of the shipping method used, it is important to ensure that the artwork is well protected during transit to avoid damage or any other issues that may arise during transportation.
