Packing of Paintings Tips It is very important to put masking tape on front of the painting if your painting in paintings is framed with glass
. This way pieces will remain in place in case unfortunately glass breaks or cracks. Make sure you cover the framed painting or canvas properly using good quality bubble wrap and tape it closed properly. Put the paintings in a picture or mirror box if you are packing it with glass. If it fit loosely in the box, fill the empty spaces with lightly wadded newspapers. If two boxes are required for packing of paintings, then put the second box on the top of other and tape them properly. Wrap them in bubble wrap and tape again. If you are packing a canvas painting with no frame & no glass, wrap the painting and put them box. Wrap box again in bubble wrap. Finally tape the carton or boxes. And Mark with tag "Fragile Art"
