Preparing for your move can be a major headache. If you plan everything correctly, you can handle to get your moving estimates all taken care of in plenty of time for your move. However the one household object that people often forget about before the last second is also one of many hardest to pack: hanging paintings. These artistic products decorating the rooms around your house could be a true pain to bring along and transport properly.

To start your packing of those items, you'll first must find boxes large enough to move them in. Locating a box that is tall enough, however, not so thick as to need a lot of extra padding, could be a challenge. The boxes that often come in stores are a great way to pack averaged size pieces of art. These rectangular boxes provide you with room to stuff padding round the artwork in order that the frame does not get damaged either.

Shielding your artwork can be challenging as well. Homeowners often feel that their photos and artwork must be covered with expensive bubble wrap to keep them safe. This is not the case. Before you place the artwork within the box, spend some time to wrap it up in a blanket or a couple of towels. Wrap all of the corners and also the back, so that you will can't see the artwork. When this is done, tape the towels in place and slide the art to the box.

This enables you not simply to maintain the artwork safe, but allows you to pack blankets and towels simultaneously. The layers of cloth could keep the paintings within the box from rubbing against one another, in addition to protect the frame from the bumps and bangs that could occur inside the moving truck. Artwork covered with bubble wrap frequently pops the bubbles in the corners. Once those bubbles pop, there's nothing to safeguard those corners from the damage the box usually takes.

Clearly label your artwork as artwork. Place the box in an upright position, with arrows pointing upward as well. Mark the container as fragile in bright, bold letters. If you don't take these steps, your art could finish up on its side or laying flat around the moving truck with other boxes piled over it. Too much weight on top of this box could easily crush the glass inside the frames and damage the art, therefore it should be marked as top load.

Regardless of what national moving companies you may be looking at, make sure the box along with your artwork has been properly packed and labeled. Without taking these precautions, your artwork could easily become damaged throughout the move. But if you take the time to organize everything out and be sure that the artwork is packed away safely and properly, then you should have no difficulties hanging it on the wall again once you reach your destination.
