Packing Artwork: Tackle it Yourself or Leave it for the Professional Removalists?

Moving house is a daunting task, and it’s even more so when you have artwork to consider. Artwork can be delicate and vulnerable to damage during the move process, so it pays to be prepared.

So, the question arises: should you tackle the packing of artwork yourself or should you leave it up to professional removalists?

This article will explore each of these options in more detail.

Firstly, if you choose to pack the artwork yourself, there are some essential steps you should take to ensure the best possible protection for your belongings during transit:

• Use specific boxes that are specifically designed for moving artwork (e.g.; size-appropriate boxes with stronger walls so that items don’t get jostled around inside);
• Securely wrap all pieces of art in either bubble wrap or acid-free paper;
• Place additional tissue paper between works of art;
• Fill out any gaps inside the box using newspapers or packing peanuts;
• Label the box clearly with its contents and destination address; and
• Put a fragile sticker on the box as an extra precaution against damage during transit.

If you don’t feel like doing all this work or have delicate pieces of artwork that require extra special handling, then hiring professional removalists is definitely worth considering – as they have experience dealing with such items and can make sure your artwork is properly packed before being placed on the truck for transport.

Professional movers from ProMove Transport can also help if you require extra assistance when transporting heavier pieces of furniture – which may include sculptures – as well as precious mirrors or paintings that are framed in glass cases which require additional care due to their fragility during transport situations like these, having professionals on-hand is always a good idea and gives an added layer of security when it comes to protecting valuable items before their journey begins (and ensuring safe delivery afterwards).

Ultimately, whether you decide to pack your own artwork or use professional removalists services depends on your personal preference – if tackling this yourself feels too overwhelming because of time constraints or lack of knowledge about how best to protect valuable items like artwork prior to transportation, then hiring experts who have navigated this situation many times before may be just what’s needed.

On the other hand, if time allows and you are familiar enough with how best to pack and wrap fragile goods without damaging them along the way then go ahead and do it yourself.

Whichever course you decide upon, just remember safety first – never cut corners when it comes to protecting your precious cargo during what can often be quite a stressful process!
