Artwork Shipping

Museum-quality packaging, custom crating, and insured shipping for your priceless masterpieces and delicate antiques.

Shipping Art Requires a Master's Touch

Shipping a painting, sculpture, or antique isn't like shipping a standard package. Fine art is incredibly susceptible to shock, vibration, sudden temperature shifts, and moisture.

At Xpress Ship and Print, we treat your items with the care and respect they deserve. We analyze the dimensions, fragility, and value of each piece to build a custom packaging solution from the inside out.

palette Surface Protection: We use acid-free glassine paper to protect painted canvases from sticking and moisture.
carpenter Custom Crating: Heavy-duty, custom-built wooden crates for high-value or oversized pieces.
shield Full Value Coverage: Comprehensive insurance options to cover the total declared value of your art.

Our Art Handling Services

Framed Paintings & Canvas

We use specialized mirror boxes, corner protectors, and dense foam layers to ensure glass doesn't shatter and canvases don't puncture during transit.

Sculptures & 3D Art

Irregularly shaped items require "floating" inside the box. We use custom-molded foam-in-place techniques that harden around the item to lock it safely in position.

Custom Wooden Crates

For items that are too heavy or valuable for corrugated cardboard, we construct custom wooden crates tailored precisely to your item's dimensions.

Carrier Selection

Not all carriers handle art the same way. We help you choose between FedEx, UPS, or specialized freight carriers based on the item's size, destination, and value.
