Packaging

Small unframed prints, unless otherwise specified, are shipped unmounted in reinforced cardboard envelopes. Mini prints are mounted and posted in padded mailing bags.

For larger prints, we take extra care by carefully rolling them in postal tubes with acid-free tissue paper to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, a waterproof sleeve is applied to protect the item further.

Mounted and framed works are packed flat with corner protection, insulating wrap, and cardboard packaging or boxing.
