When it comes to preserving and transporting artwork, choosing the right packaging materials is not just a logistical decision—it’s a matter of ensuring the safety, longevity, and integrity of invaluable pieces. Traditional packaging materials like bubble wrap, cardboard, and Styrofoam have been widely used for years with the non-recycable materials having a devastating effect on our planet. ArtPAKK are revolutionising the art world through our range of reusable and eco-friendly art packaging solutions one artwork at a time..
Traditional packaging materials are generic and not specifically designed for the unique needs of artwork. For instance, bubble wrap can scratch delicate surfaces, and cardboard offers limited protection against moisture or physical impacts. ArtPAKK, on the other hand, is engineered with artwork in mind. All of the materials used are designed to safeguard fragile, valuable pieces against environmental factors such as humidity, temperature fluctuations, and accidental damage.

Whether in storage or in transit, artworks can be damaged and degrade over time if the materials often due to the materials used. ArtPAKK’s interiors are acid-free and pH-neutral composition ensuring the preservation of the important contents, and avoiding the risks of chemical reactions that can occur with some traditional materials.
Traditional materials often wear out quickly, especially when, although rarely, reused. Bubble wrap can lose its air pockets, cardboard can tear, and Styrofoam is prone to crumbling. ArtPAKK provides durability that surpasses these options, maintaining its protective qualities over multiple uses and multiple years. The robust exterior of each artPAKK shields against tears, punctures, and compression, ensuring that even during extended storage or long-distance transport, your artwork remains safe.
