<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhiwfield, post: 317196, member: 924&quot;]FWIW we nearly always send prints and paintings without the frame or glass. Glass, unless for a small painting, is very difficult to protect and most UK couriers will not pay compensation if broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nor do we send prints rolled up, so as to avoid roll creases.</p><p><br /></p><p>We first wrap prints/paintings in 2-3 sheets of non acid tissue paper and then use several large flat pieces of cardboard to create a plywood effect packing sandwich with the painting in the middle, taped to the middle card layer so that it doesn&#039;t move. Lay the cardboard so that the grain direction is changed with each layer which stops it from bending.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for tape, personally I would cut it and leave residue on back of paper unless it is almost falling off and removal would not damage paper</p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;ve never lost a painting using this approach, and it allows inexpensive shipping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
