Original Art: Packaging and Shipping

The safety of your artwork during shipping is highly dependent on the type and quality of packaging materials used. 

If you are new to packaging your artwork, here are some DOs and DON’Ts for packing materials. 

Materials we DO recommend:	Materials we DO NOT recommend:
Bubble wrap High quality packing tape Acid-Free Archival Paper (Glassine) Foam Board Cardboard corner protectors PVC pipe or heavy duty mailing tube	Styrofoam peanuts Second-hand filler (newspaper, magazine pages, plastic bags, etc.)  Non-archival quality tissue paper for wrapping artwork Garbage bin bags

We encourage sellers to package with recycled materials and/or include any branding they desire, so long as they meet the packaging requirements outlined on this page.

For any other questions about packaging and shipping, we invite sellers to review this Fedex guide. 

IMPORTANT: Our top priority is ensuring that your artwork arrives safely to the purchaser. We understand that quality packing supplies can be expensive. If you are concerned about this, consider building the cost of packaging into the artwork’s price. As a reminder, prices for Minted DFA items should be on par with the same item listed anywhere else.
