Picture Boxes are made with double overlap flaps which increase protection when shipping delicate paintings and other low profile products. Art Galleries, free-lance artists and moving companies all require a safe packaging method for shipping and transporting fine art. Art shipping boxes or full overlap (FOL) containers are the most ideal for shipping artwork. Picture Boxes come in many stock sizes to choose from. It is best to select a box that is a little bit oversize so the product or picture can be wrapped and cushioned before it is loaded into the corrugated box. We stock around 30 different size FOL containers. We also manufacture exact custom size boxes both plain and printed if you don’t find the precise size in our inventory.

Packaging your artwork for shipping requires some patience and skill to ensure your package arrives to its destination undamaged. Determining the content weight of the package will help define the grade of corrugated material required for optimal performance when shipping fragile products. A simple inexpensive packaging technique for transporting high priced artwork is to double box the artwork that is being shipped. The artwork should be wrapped or suspended in air pillows on the inside of the box. Secondly, the outside of the inner box can be completely wrapped with bubble wrap or some other type of cushioning material. Next this inner box is loaded into the outer corrugated container, then taped with reinforced packaging tape for further support. This packaging solution offers a double cushion and tempers the shock and vibration during the handling and shipping process. Although it is not 100% bullet proof, it greatly increasing the chances of the package arriving to its destination without any damage or abrasion. Packaging fragile products and merchandise does not have to be expensive. When it comes to packing boxes a little ingenuity and creativity goes along way.
