Relocating With Your Artwork Is An Easy Task

By Sharonne Penickata


Planning your move can be quite a major headache. If you plan everything correctly, you can handle to obtain your moving estimates all taken care of in the required time for your move. However the one household object that people often just forget about until the last second is also one of the hardest to pack: hanging paintings. These artistic products decorating the walls around your house could be a true pain to bring along and move safely.

To start your packing of these items, you'll first need to find boxes big enough to move them in. Getting a box that is tall enough, although not so thick as to need a great deal of extra padding, can be a challenge. The boxes that often are available in stores are a great way to pack averaged size art pieces. These rectangular boxes give you room to stuff padding across the artwork so the frame does not get damaged either.

Shielding your artwork can be tough too. Home owners often feel that their photos and artwork must be covered with expensive bubble wrap in order to keep them safe. This is not the situation. Prior to placing the artwork inside the box, take the time to wrap it up in a blanket or a number of towels. Wrap all the corners as well as the back, so you can't see the artwork. Once this is done, tape the towels in place and slide the art into the box.

This enables you not only to maintain the artwork safe, but allows you to pack blankets and towels at the same time. The layers of material can keep the paintings inside the box from rubbing against each other, in addition to protect the frame from any bumps and bangs that may happen inside the moving truck. Artwork wrapped in bubble wrap frequently pops the bubbles in the corners. Once those bubbles pop, you'll find nothing to protect those corners from the damage the box may take.

Clearly label your artwork as artwork. Place the box in an upright position, with arrows pointing upward too. Mark the box as fragile in bright, bold letters. If you do not take these steps, your art will finish up on its side or laying flat around the moving truck along with other boxes piled over it. An excessive amount of weight on top of this box could easily crush the glass in the frames and damage the art, therefore it has to be marked as top load.

Regardless of what national movers you could be looking into, make sure the box together with your artwork has been properly packed and marked. Without taking these precautions, your artwork could easily become damaged during the move. But if you take the time to plan everything out and make sure that the artwork is packed away safely and effectively, then you should have no issues hanging it on your wall again once you reach your location.
