Overview
The EB-12 Art print is approximately 14x22. Since it is a special and expensive print, we want to ship it flat with a method so we don't lose even one to shipping damage. We will ship them insured, but the shippers will use any excuse not to pay, so these art prints need to packed very well.
Labels
The USPS click and ship labels are awesome. They come with self adhesive and any modern printer can use them. Now you can print them directly from PayPal or usps.com. What a time saver!
There may be no evidence that putting FRAGILE on a box will makes a difference, but it can't hurt to ask. I like putting it right out front where it cannot be ignored.
Prepping the Prints
The prints will be positioned on acid free backing using Mylar corners. These will then be placed in an archival Poly sleeve.
Packing the prints
The prints are sandwiched between two corrugated pads which are 1/2" larger on each side and then places in a 'One Piece Folder' box design.
Sources
For this project we did a lot of price shopping. These are the ones we went with, but there are lots of choices.
- Go Packaging
- Custom made box and pads
- ULINE
- Click-n-Ship Labels, Fragile Labels, Packing Tape
- Bags Unlimited
- archival backing and sleep for print storage
- Mr. Art
- Mylar framing corners.
