Here are some tips for keeping everything safe in a move
1. You have to start with a box that is bigger than the frame. A box sized to a frame will undoubtedly not leave enough room for the padding.
2. Tape only one end of the box with plenty of packing tape.
3. Using a lot of bubble wrap (don't be shy!) wrap the artwork like a gift. Use packing tape with the bubble wrap.
4. Once the piece is wrapped, slide it into the open side of the box. Close the box and wrap with packing tape.
5. Write "Fragile" all over the box, and if it will be helpful to you, identify which piece of artwork is inside the box.
6. While moving, keep the packed box on its side (not flat) The picture can handle any pressure more easily on if it is keep vertical.Extra Protection:
1. If you have many different pieces that you need protected, pack all the pictures on their edge into a wardrobe box. Make sure the wardrobe box is secured in place by packing other boxes around it.
2. You can buy special cardboard protectors for the edges of frames. You should be able to find these in packing stores.
3. Make sure all pieces of boxed artwork is protected by other boxes. Fit them securely in your moving truck.

I went through countless blogs, each different in its own way, but by far this blog is far better than the rest. In both content and design, really good job in keeping it up.
