How To: Package & Ship Your Artwork
Package & Ship Your Artwork to Align with Your Brand
Packaging & shipping artwork can be one of the more daunting tasks for artists & hinders many creatives from reaching their fullest potential. Understanding how to properly package your paintings is crucial to protecting your beautiful creations & how it is presented is also an additional way of maximizing your marketing efforts & branding.
For me, I want my collectors to love and remember the experience of purchasing artwork from me the second their new art arrives on their doorstep. Little details like branded stickers and packaging tape take your product to the next level, and in my opinion, going the extra mile makes a lasting impression on your customers.
Below are a few of my go-to packaging materials that have taken my business to the next level and have really elevated my brand (and these products don’t break the bank!).
1.) Branding tape: This custom-branded packaging tape doesn’t just keep your products sealed, it’s a great reflection that you care about your products and its safety during transit.
2.) Custom stickers: I absolutely love how easy it is to order through this company & the quality of these stickers. I put these on everything from my products to the packaging! Use this link to receive $10 credit toward your first purchase.
3.) Ribbon: For certain products like my stationary, ornaments, and gift sets, I use ribbon, and I absolutely love the quality of this specific company.
A Few Must-Have Shipping Products:
These products are staples when it comes to shipping. It embarrassingly took me too long to invest in a tape dispenser and scale, which have helped save me time (and shipping costs). I print custom fragile stickers through Sticker Mule, but the above labels are a great entry to protecting your artwork!
