The potential for damage to art in transit can be virtually eliminated by careful and appropriate choices made in packing the art. This begins with understanding of the inherent nature of the artwork, its material and how it was made, and by applying appropriate and cost-effective solutions to create a safety envelope. Managing for shock and vibration, determining pathways for easy packing and repacking of the object, and considering the reusability of the crate and packing are all issues that are considered in creating the safest at the most cost-effective crating solution for your art.
