If you have to move and you have a lot of fine art that you are worried about, there are some things you can do to help protect everything. The best thing to do is to begin to prepare for your move as soon as possible and make use of the following tips:
Go For The Bigger Boxes
When it comes to packing fine art into boxes, it is imperative that you are selecting a box that is much larger than the piece of art you are packing. This way, there will be a lot of room around the piece, allowing you to stuff it full of packing peanuts and bubble wrap all around the art piece. Pack the cushioning supplies in there are tight as you can so there will not be a lot of room for the piece of art to move or shift at all.
Consider The Temperature
There are some types of fine art that could become utterly destroyed if they end up sitting in a box or the back of a van in extremely high temperatures. Other types of fine art might do worse in freezing temperatures. This is certainly something that you will want to consider when planning your move. You can talk with a reputable moving company and ask about they manage the temperature inside their moving van or truck so your artwork will not be at risk of being slightly altered or completely destroyed.
Move The Art Separately
Instead of moving all of your fine art in the back of a moving truck with everything else that you own, you might want to consider moving those things separately. For example, you can pack everything else into the back of a moving truck, but keep your smaller, fragile fine art pieces in boxes that can fit in your vehicle. You can then just drive all of it to your new location. This allows you to keep a close eye on all of it.
By taking those few tips into consideration, you will find that it is going to be a lot easier to move all of your fine art without having to worry about whether it will actually make it to its destination without any damage. If you are looking to hire a moving company to assist you with this, do make sure that they have certain policies and techniques in place that they use in order to protect all of the fine art that they handle. You will also want to make sure that they have proper insurance coverage just in case an accident of some sort does happen. This way, a claim can be filed and they will be able to reimburse you for any damages.
