Secure Transit for Every Piece

Art Packing & Shipping

At Abbot Art, we believe every single piece of art deserves professional care. Whether you are shipping a sentimental family heirloom to a relative, sending your own stretched canvas to a buyer, or fulfilling a massive gallery order, we treat your artwork with the exact same level of respect.
Standard post-office boxes and basic bubble wrap are rarely enough to protect delicate canvases, heavy custom frames, and fragile glass (for long-distance transit, we also recommend upgrading to shatterproof Museum Acrylic). We provide professional packing, crating, and shipping services tailored entirely to the size, weight, and fragility of your specific item.

How We Protect Your Art

Secure Box Packaging

Perfect for standard frames, posters, fine art prints, and everyday canvases. We build a protective barrier inside heavy-duty corrugated boxes to ensure nothing shifts or cracks during transit.
  • Thick shock-absorbing foam corners
  • Multiple layers of heavy-duty bubble wrap
  • Acid-free archival materials to protect the art surface
  • Glass-protection tape for framed pieces

Custom Wood Crating

For oversized, heavy, or highly valuable gallery pieces, a cardboard box is simply too risky. We build custom structural wood crates designed to perfectly fit and suspend your artwork.
  • Built-to-size wooden exteriors
  • Reinforced corners and joints
  • Designed to withstand heavy impact
  • The ultimate choice for high-end art

USA & Canada Shipping

We partner with top-tier carriers to ensure your art reaches any destination across the US and Canada securely. We also offer drop-shipping services for professional artists and businesses.
