Artwork Shipping Cases

Artists, galleries, and photographers use them to send finished work to shows, clients, and buyers, and to hand-carry pieces to fairs and exhibitions. The reinforced shell and foam lining protect framed pieces, mounted prints, and rigid panels on the move, and the strapped-down buckles keep the case closed and the work secure in transit. The same case works just as well for storing that work safely between showings. Illustrators, students, and anyone moving portfolio pieces or competition entries reach for one when the work has to arrive in the same condition it left.

Match the case to the largest piece you'll ship. Each case fits work about a quarter-inch over its named width and height — a 16"x20" case takes artwork up to roughly 16.25"x20.25" — with about 3.5 inches of interior depth for framed or mounted pieces. The five sizes are 16"x20", 24"x30", 25"x37", 30"x40", and 33"x42". Pick the size closest to your piece so it sits snug against the interior strap rather than sliding, and if you ship a range of formats, choose for the largest and pad smaller work inside.
