In May 2025, ArtPakk proudly exhibited at the Surrey Art Fair at Sandown Park, a thriving celebration of contemporary and collectible art. As passionate advocates for sustainable innovation in the art world, we were delighted to introduce our eco-friendly packaging solutions to a new wave of collectors, galleries, and artists.
Connecting with the Art World
Throughout the weekend, our stand served as a meeting point for conversations around conservation, transport safety, and environmental responsibility. Collectors frequently expressed concerns about the excessive use of plastic and non-recyclable materials in art packaging. In response, we demonstrated how ArtPakk’s reusable protective bags could deliver exceptional protection while dramatically reducing waste.
Artists and galleries were especially curious about how to streamline their shipping and storage methods without compromising quality or sustainability. These discussions confirmed a growing shift in the industry—away from single-use materials and toward conscious, long-term solutions.
Supporting the Fair with On-Site Packaging
We were proud to support the event by operating a professional wrapping station, manned by our team under the motto “choose to reuse.” In partnership with the fair organisers, ArtPakk offered a combination of recyclable bubble wrap, eco-friendly brown paper, and our signature reusable ArtPakk bags. These premium bags were made available for both exhibitors and collectors, giving attendees a practical way to protect their purchases while participating in a more responsible supply chain.
The initiative ensured that artworks leaving the fair were packaged with care, professionalism, and sustainability in mind. This hands-on experience not only illustrated the functionality of ArtPakk products—it also demonstrated how eco-conscious choices can be seamlessly integrated into the daily workings of the art world.
Why ArtPakk Makes a Difference
ArtPakk bags are designed to replace short-lived materials like foam, cardboard, and single-use plastics. Made from a three-layer bonded construction, each bag features a soft, acid-free inner lining, a robust insulating core, and a tough outer layer. This 6mm-thick structure protects artworks from knocks, environmental fluctuations, mold, mildew, and even water exposure—making them ideal for storage, shipping, or hand-delivery.
But it’s not just about durability. Our bags are also recyclable, reusable, and non-toxic, aligning perfectly with the sustainability goals that collectors and professionals are increasingly adopting. By using ArtPakk, clients are not only protecting their art—they’re protecting the planet.
A Shared Mission for the Future
Surrey Art Fair 2025 proved to be more than just a market for buying and selling—it was a forum for innovation, community, and sustainability. We were inspired by the thoughtful questions from buyers and the enthusiasm of galleries exploring how to reduce their environmental footprint.
Whether it was first-time collectors or seasoned exhibitors, many walked away with a reusable ArtPakk bag—a small change that makes a significant difference. Our presence wasn’t just about promoting a product, but about encouraging a shift in how the art world thinks about transport and protection.
As the demand for sustainable alternatives grows, ArtPakk will continue to lead the conversation, offering practical solutions that respect both artwork and the environment.
From the conversations we had to the packaging solutions we delivered, ArtPakk’s involvement at Surrey Art Fair reaffirmed our belief: sustainability and quality can go hand in hand. We thank the organisers, exhibitors, and collectors for the warm reception and shared commitment to a greener future.
