Print substrate options Not all printed artwork reacts to transport stress the same way. Canvas, acrylic prints, mounted photo paper, metal prints, and rigid substrates all respond differently to vibration, pressure transfer, flex, and environmental movement during shipping. What many people overlook is that print substrate choice directly affects how artwork should be packed, supported, and crated for safe transport. Different substrates create different transport risks: • canvas can flex under pressure during handling • acrylic surfaces are vulnerable to scratching and impact stress • mounted photo paper can warp under uneven pressure • rigid panels require controlled stabilization during transit Professional art crating systems must match the substrate itself — not just the artwork size. Proper spacing, reinforcement, surface protection, and movement control all help reduce preventable transport damage. At Picture Worth Custom Framing, transport protection is designed around both the artwork and the material it is printed on. Because the wrong packing method for the wrong substrate can permanently damage the finished presentation long before delivery.

Transporting oversized art Transporting oversized artwork safely requires far more than bubble wrap and cardboard. As artwork size increases, transport stress affects corners, frame joints, glazing surfaces, mounting stability, and structural balance in ways standard packing methods are not built to control. What many people overlook is that oversized art shifts continuously during handling and transit. Without proper crating systems, vibration, flex, pressure transfer, and impact stress can gradually damage both the frame and the artwork itself. What professional art crating helps reduce: • corner impact and frame separation risk • pressure stress across oversized glazing • movement and vibration during transport • puncture, compression, and handling damage At Picture Worth Custom Framing, oversized artwork transportation is approached as structural preservation protection — not ordinary packaging. Professional art crating systems help stabilize valuable artwork while reducing transport risk during local moves, installations, storage, and shipping. Because oversized artwork is often damaged during transport long before anyone notices the structural failure beginning underneath the surface.
