Why Artwork Needs Special Moving Care
Moving artwork is one of the most delicate tasks during any Boston relocation. Whether you own original oil paintings, framed photography, or sculptural pieces, improper handling can cause irreversible damage.
How Professional Boston Movers Pack Artwork
Our fragile and specialty packing team uses custom corner protectors, acid-free tissue paper, and bubble wrap secured with painters tape. Larger pieces are placed in telescoping picture boxes. Sculptures are wrapped in moving blankets and secured in custom crates.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Never lay framed art flat in the truck — always transport upright
- Avoid wrapping with newspaper which transfers ink
- Do not stack multiple pieces without dividers
- Never use regular tape on gilded or antique frames
