if you have a folder - buy one (or more..) and put it in one - it's going to cost you btw.

Just make sure you don't pile them flat because weight will crack the glass. Glass is the big shit !!

Find a nice spot to store in your mum's..cover with a dust sheet for extra protection and bob's ya uncle.

Best way to pack a framed print for shipping & storage , by Mister Frame Man on Apr 2, 2015 13:02:11 GMT 1, Key Point!
If stacking upright always stand face to face and back to back. We see so many cases of people leaning one pic against another and the hanging fixings scratching the face of the frame behind!

Best way to pack a framed print for shipping & storage , by robertjones on Apr 11, 2015 16:48:40 GMT 1, Hi every one I thought I would let you know how I got on incase anyone els needs to do the same.
I ordered foam corner protects of eBay you can get on 2 sizes.
ebay.to/1Fxngwc
I bought some film wrap (like industrial cling film) of my local framers.
I also asked my framer to cut some board for me 2cm bigger than each frame.
1. Corners on first
2. Film wrap
3. Board top
4. More film wrap
And I feel happy that nothing will happen to them in transit.
Hope this helps an I know this may seem a bit anal but I it part of my personality.
