Wondering how to package a canvas quickly and easily while providing it with enough protection to make any journey safely? Adventa explains how to package and ship a canvas painting so that it arrives at your customers' door undamaged. Find out more and buy canvas and packaging below. 

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. 

Why buy your canvas packaging from Adventa?

If you're looking for cost-effective packaging boxes for canvas prints that are easy to assemble and dispatch for your production staff, look no further than the QuickPro ArtWrap Mail Safe Box from Adventa.

The extra side supports keep canvases safe from crumple zones and promise durability thanks to their thickness. No need for protective packaging like bubble wrap - the thick cardboard and clever design provide maximum protection.

The side of the boxes has been designed so that the three smallest boxes can hold multiple canvas sizes. Either pull over the flaps flat to hold the largest size or fold over into a square tube to create thicker sides for the smaller sizes.

This economical packaging box for canvas prints is ideal for swift packaging and sending your customers prints safely so they can hang their memories easily.

Do you still have questions? Here are the queries we get and answer most regularly:

How do I post a large canvas?

We provide canvas packaging of varying sizes, so all you have to do is order the size appropriate to the size of the canvas you plan to create and dispatch to your customers.

What type of packing materials are recommended for protecting a canvas painting during shipment?

We recommend using durable packaging materials to ensure the superior "can't sag" properties of the canvas are maintained. The lightweight and compact nature of our packaged art makes it easy and safe to dispatch.

Do I need to worry about size and weight restrictions?

The lightweight and compact design of our packaging makes it suitable for shipping, and they comply with standard size and weight restrictions imposed by most shipping services.

When shipping artwork, how can you guarantee safe shipping?

Both the QuickPro Auto Canvas and Mail Safe Packaging are designed for durability. The black backboard accessory (QPB812) contributes to climate resilience during shipment. The engineered packaging also boasts extra strong side supports that keep the canvas safe from crumple zones. So whether you’re shipping fine art or your business's most recent offering, our packaging can ensure maximum protection for your canvases.
