You should also pay attention to the condition of your item – for example the work should be thoroughly dry before shipment.
You should also be sure to select the right packaging for the type of item: an oil painting, for example, should initially be covered with a layer of Tyvek to prevent the development of condensation between an oil painting and bubble wrap.
Alternatively, you can have your item packaged by us and we can then offer you insurance during transportation. You can decide whether we should package your picture in soft bubble wrap with edge protection. For sculptures and other items, meanwhile, we recommend cardboard and padding. Here, we offer two options - premium packaging for sculptures up to 30kg or - low-cost packaging for sculptures up to 30kg. We are currently unable to ship sculptures and items over 30kg.
