How to Pack Oil Paintings – The Packaging Doctor
When it comes to protecting delicate items in transit, especially in the fine art industry, Kite understands that having the right internal and external protection is essential. Today, we’re looking at how the Packaging Doctor can help with a real packaging challenge.
Dear Doctor,

I run a small fine art business and I regularly send oil paintings through the post. I'm on the lookout for cost-effective yet protective packaging that will ensure my artwork arrives safely at its destination, just as it left my studio. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Thanks for reaching out – let’s take a look at some of the best ways to protect your oil paintings during shipping.
First up, we recommend our foam rolls. Made from closed-cell polyethylene by Jiffy, these non-abrasive foam wraps are perfect for protecting polished surfaces without leaving any residue. They help prevent smudges and scratches, and they’re CFC-free, making them an eco-friendly choice for internal packaging.
Next, we suggest using U-tulip corner protectors. These provide excellent cushioning for the corners of your paintings, which are often the most vulnerable parts during transit. They are scratch-free, flexible, and have high grip strength. Plus, they’re 100% recyclable and chemically neutral, so you can feel good about using them.
Finally, for the outer packaging, our telescopic picture frame boxes are ideal. These double-walled boxes are strong and designed to minimize movement and vibration during transport. They come in a variety of sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for any painting, no matter the dimensions.
With these three solutions, your paintings should arrive in excellent condition every time. If you need more guidance or want to explore other options, feel free to reach out.
Best wishes,
The Packaging Doctor
