Large box for sending a canvas. , by manty on Jan 3, 2013 15:33:31 GMT 1, I usually get 2 bits of pretty thick MDF cut slightly larger than the canvas, wrap wrap and re wrap the canvas then sandwich between the MDF, tape up and fire her off to the courier
Box maybe fine unless someone decides to stand on it.
But I am a bit anal ;D

Large box for sending a canvas. , by ABC on Jan 3, 2013 15:35:04 GMT 1, Saint, I send a few abroad that size. I use jumbo bubble wrap. Sometimes a piece of strong cardboard on either side, then I use heavy duty brown packaging paper as it does not rip or tear. That way all edges are protected with the wrap. How desperate are you for time as you can order boxes that fit canvases perfectly, I have a few in my studio but would have to check sizes and where I got them from?

Large box for sending a canvas. , by saint on Jan 3, 2013 15:41:58 GMT 1, Cheers Manty, might have to do that, although with the value of it i'd prefer it to be properly boxed up...
Hey Ant. Not in a huge rush although would really like to get it out asap. I've had flight logistics suggested to me, so will give them a shout and see how i go. If needs be i'll come back to you on that, cheers mate. (ps its not your canvas, but is the canvas i need to go so yours can go in its place!).

Steve at FL will give you sound advice about packaging.
