The Art of Shipping Art

For the curator of a museum or gallery (or even the casual collector), ensuring that fragile and precious artwork arrives safely at its destination, can be a great challenge. Most knowledgeable dealers choose professional services to transport their art objects. Pak Mail Beachside located at 505 Beachland Blvd. offers an array of packing, shipping and tracking choices to meet the most rigorous requirements.

“There are a number of variables at play in a successful art shipment,” says Susan Lorenz, Pak Mail Beachside’s general manager. “As we approach each new circumstance, we remain sensitive to the specific needs of the client. As an added benefit, we provide declared-value coverage for all art shipments, which includes glass.”

The company provides custom crating for paintings, fabrics, sculpture or other works of fine art, to prevent items from shifting during transport. In addition, Pak Mail Beachside takes precautions to mitigate adverse climate conditions. Pickup service is also available at Pak Mail Beachside.

The careful selection of a carrier is essential to ensure safe transportation of precious art. Pak Mail Beachside retains access to a broad network of carriers—including ground, air, and ocean—all to assure safe, economical and tailor-made art transportation.
