Why Book Wraps are Perfect for Shipping Canvases and Framed Artwork

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 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

Book wraps offer an excellent solution, combining protection, practicality and cost‑efficiency.

Wrap‑Around Design for a Secure, Snug Fit

The wrap‑around design ensures your artwork stays firmly in place. Adjustable height options accommodate different canvas and frame sizes, preventing movement that could lead to damage. This tight, tailored fit keeps artwork pristine, no matter the distance.

Protection for Corners and Edges

Framed pieces are vulnerable at the corners. Book wraps feature buffer edges that act as shock absorbers, protecting corners from dents, chips or scratches. Even if dropped or bumped—or posted through a letterbox—your artwork remains safe.

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

The peel‑and‑seal closure, reinforced with ultra‑strong hot melt glue, forms a robust barrier against side impacts and bending. It holds the wrap tight around the frame, ensuring corners stay intact and the artwork remains snug.

Additional Benefits of Book Wrap Mailers

Some book wrap sizes qualify for Royal Mail’s large letter tariff, reducing shipping costs for smaller frames or canvases while maintaining top‑tier protection.

Key features include:

  • Wrap‑around design with variable height
  • Wide perforation strip for easy unboxing
