How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by Terry Fuckwitt on Feb 2, 2020 12:40:26 GMT 1, Great job and very detailed for people not sure.
Would it be patronising to send the pdf to galleries and ebay sellers when I make future purchases๐
Only thing I would have expanded on, is how to tape up end caps properly.
I received a couple of prints with an end cap missing by either no tape or badly taped caps.

Was saying the same thing. Charging big money but donโt have the decency to pack the item properly.
Certain artists and galleries I know Iโm getting a good packing job. Others? A crapshoot.

How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by That Print Guy on Feb 2, 2020 22:58:16 GMT 1, I would argue that the print being rolled smaller than the diameter of the tube will protect it in case of a strike to the tube, I disagree that there is no "too small" for a tube (though there may be a "too tight" for the print roll itself, depends on the print), the more space between the wall of the tube and the roll the better.

Yup, thanks for your input That Print Guy.
This is just my way of doing it.
There are always slight different ways to perform most raskt, I guess, but mainly ment for a first timer who don't feel so comfortable shipping, I assume this will help alot!
In the end, like with everything else, practice makes perfect...
Example,
Grab yourself a thicker plaim paper and pretend that it is your actual print.
Do a test run packing that, before you go ahead packing up your frist real print, it might save you a lot of hazel.
Anyway, nice that so many find this helpful โบ๏ธ

How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by zeuscarver on Feb 3, 2020 1:10:29 GMT 1, Great guide.
Small tweaks for me: masking tape/blue painters tape with mini flaps for securing craft paper. Stronger clear-ish tape for outside of tube. This has the worse affect of increasing the tape varietals necessary, but is a nice touch.
Overall, excellent.

How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by Dive Jedi on Feb 3, 2020 18:02:40 GMT 1, If I may be so candid to add some advice to this great post by Shagga
As mentioned in other threads I often use tubes for carpet I get for free from a furniture store.
They are usually 4 meter / 13 feet long, so great to cut to any size needed.
And most important - for a Dutch - completely free! And good for the planet.
Make sure you get thick tubes - there also rather flimsy ones. Good ones are 0,5cm / 1/5th of an inch thick.
Of course these don't come with those handy white end caps.
So hereby my manual how to make them.
Get a piece of cardboard from a box. Not too thin, but also not very thick.
Put the end of the tube on the cardboard about 5 cm/2 inches from any edge.
Draw the outline of the tube on the cardboard.
Cut the cardboard, in a cirlce about those 5 cm/2 inches around the outline of the tube
Then make incisions from the edge towards the drawn circle, about every 2,5 cm/1 inch
Then put the tube end in the drawn circle and start folding the edges around the tube.
After you've done about half of them you can turn around the tube for easier handling
Use wide plastic tape (not Duct-tape) to make a cross to fit the end to the tube.
Then do a third piece of tape acros the first cross.
After that first apply tape around the end of the tube to make sure all bit are tightly strapped to the tube.
First right at the end - after that a second layer a bit lower to secure the first layer.
Then finish your second cross across the top - I use Fragile-tape .
Then put an extra layer of Fragile-tape around the edge.
And Bob's your uncle / Ready is Kees !
It might look a bit crappy, but it's actually very strong.
After closing one end, follow Shagga's method and then do the other end exactly the same.
I have probably sent over 100 prints like this and never had any problems.

Thank you for a great tip on that!
Might visit a few carpet stores to look for more sturdy and thick walled tubes myself. Thanks Dive Jedi

Where's the plastic bag? I always put everything in a plastic sealed bag inside the tube in case of rain or other similar things happening. That might be a smart move, but could also bite you... I guess - as temperature change can more easily create due/moist inside that plastic bag and affect the print? |

No need for that with a thick tube. You could leave them out in the rain for hours and the water hardly penetrates it.

One tube without plastic protection inside and one with and with different types of water damage from light shower to a monsoon?
I quoted here, as I recently tried to dispose of some average quality tubes that I would not use myself for shipping.
I thought it would make sense to crush the tubes as much as possible to fit in my recycling bin.
So I filled a sink with water and put the tubes in there thinking they would turn to soggy cardboard. I was actually amazed at after a long time sat in water, they had hardly penetrated through the cardboard.
So I suppose this test would probably be sufficient to say that even a monsoon would have little effect short term on the print.
Try it and be as amazed as I was๐

How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by Jaylove on Feb 17, 2020 18:44:25 GMT 1, Also one thing that gets overlooked is the roll. A bad roll will ruin a print. I use a small tube to act as a guide. My rolls are perfect. I've received prints that were just improperly rolled with care and usually you can tell as you'll see these faint marks on the print. Hate that. Avoid it by using a guide.
