How Do You Package Art?
To pack framed paintings:
  1. Find a box or build a crate that can fit the piece, with 3 inches of space available on all sides of the frame.
  2. Wrap you artwork with acid-free tissue paper.
  3. Wrap the piece in bubble wrap, ensuring adequate coverage on the corners since they are most susceptible to damage during transport.

Keeping this in view, how much does it cost to ship artwork?

A very small print can approximately $5 to ship via USPS. For larger prints or paintings on paper, they can be rolled up and shipped in a tube for approximately $10-$20. Small or medium-sized paintings on canvas can be shipped via UPS or Fedex for approximately $10-$50, depending on the size.

Also, how do I keep my art prints flat? If unframed, the best way to store your works on paper is in a container, such as a Solander Box, that will protect them from light, dirt, and moisture. The items should lay flat, so that undue pressure is not placed on any of the edges or corners.
