Why Book Wraps are Perfect for Shipping Canvases and Framed Artwork

September 26 2024, by Nathan Calvert, 3 min reading time

Shipping canvases and framed artwork requires extra care due to their delicate structure. Discover how book wrap mailers provide superior protection, ensuring your artwork arrives in perfect condition, while saving on costs and offering eco-friendly benefits.

Shipping canvases and framed artwork presents unique challenges. These items are delicate and easily damaged if mishandled. Canvases can tear or stretch, while framed artwork is prone to cracks in the glass, damaged corners, or even complete frame breakage. Traditional packaging often falls short, failing to provide sufficient protection, and leaving artists, galleries, and e-commerce businesses at risk of costly returns, repairs, or refunds.

Why Book Wraps Are Perfect for Shipping Canvases and Framed Artwork

Wrap-Around Design for a Secure, Snug Fit

The wrap-around design of book wraps ensures that your artwork stays firmly in place during shipping. With adjustable height options, book wraps can easily accommodate different canvas and frame sizes, preventing movement that could lead to damage. This tight, tailored fit is essential in ensuring that the artwork arrives in perfect condition, no matter the distance it travels.

Protection for Corners and Edges

Framed artwork is often vulnerable at its corners, where impacts during transit can cause serious damage. Book wraps feature buffer edges that act as shock absorbers, protecting the delicate corners from dents, chips, or scratches. Additionally, this design ensures your artwork remains safe even if the package is dropped or bumped, or when it hits a hard surface as it’s posted through a letterbox.

Strong, Secure Sealing with Peel-and-Seal and Hot Melt Glue

The peel-and-seal closure system, combined with ultra-strong hot melt glue, provides a robust seal that holds firm throughout the shipping process. This tight seal forms a protective barrier that guards against side impacts and bending, while keeping your artwork snugly in place. This strength is particularly important for fragile framed pieces, as it ensures that the frames remain intact, corners remain undamaged, and the artwork stays pristine.

Additional Benefits of Book Wrap Mailers

In addition to protecting canvases and framed artwork, some sizes of book wraps qualify for Royal Mail’s large letter tariffs, making them a cost-effective solution for smaller frames or canvas pieces. This helps to reduce your overall shipping costs while still delivering on safety and reliability.
