Packaging and shipping canvases

Brand sentiment doesn’t end once a customer hands over their money. A seller's job isn’t done until the customer has the product in their hands and is happy.

That's why we've designed the QuickPro Mail Safe Packaging to guarantee that your canvas art will be delivered to your customers safely and securely. Shipping art is almost, after all, an art form itself, and we want yours to be successful and your customers happy!

What are flat boxes?

Flat boxes refer to boxes that haven't been built yet. All our art canvas boxes come unassembled (or flat), but don't worry, the 'fold and lock' function means your boxes can be ready for shipping within minutes, without the need for packing tape or special tools.

The compact design of flat boxes also means you’ll save on shipping costs, whether you ship them flat or in their completed form, as they fit snuggly around the canvas.

How to package a canvas

This stress-free box is straightforward to build, so if you are making canvases in large volumes, then it's ideal. Just follow these instructions:

Lift the lid upwards and over.
Slide the lid's tab into the slot at the front of the box.
The box is then ready for labelling & dispatch.
