Preparing for a Busy Art Season: Why Now is the Time to Secure Your ArtPakk Orders
As the art world gears up for the post-summer calendar—marked by major art fairs, gallery re-openings, and an increase in private collector transactions—logistics companies, galleries, artists, and collectors are all bracing for one of the busiest times of the year. From September through to the end of the year, the movement of artworks intensifies significantly. Whether it’s shipping works to Frieze, 1-54, Paris+ or Art Basel, or preparing new inventory for private viewings and gallery shows, protecting your art in transit and storage becomes paramount.
Whether you’re coordinating multi-venue shipments or planning a single high-profile art delivery, our reusable artwork protection bags are designed to simplify logistics, reduce risk, and support your sustainability commitments.
After the summer lull, major fairs and gallery exhibitions return in full swing, international clients return from holiday, and transaction volumes spike. For logistics professionals and art handlers, this means a high volume of packing, storage, and transport activity—often with tight deadlines and last-minute adjustments.
Traditional packing materials are often wasteful, inconsistent, and time-consuming to assemble. Foam corners, bubble wrap, and crates all have their place—but for fast, professional, and sustainable protection, ArtPakk is the proven solution.
Why artPakk?
ArtPakk is a reusable, multi-layered protective bag developed specifically for transporting and storing artworks. Used by leading galleries, art fairs, institutions, and storage providers around the world, our bags:
- Come in a range of sizes to suit prints, paintings, and framed works
- Feature a soft, non-abrasive interior and a waterproof, durable exterior
- Provide insulation against light, dust, and temperature shifts
- Help reduce plastic waste with repeat usability
- Speed up packing and unpacking for both temporary and long-term moves
Whether you’re handling ten works or hundreds, ArtPakk allows your team to prepare, wrap, and load faster—without compromising on safety or presentation.
September to December is peak season for white-glove art logistics. If you’re coordinating multi-client shipments to fairs, galleries, and collectors across borders, investing in a standardized, reusable packing solution like ArtPakk makes your operation more agile and sustainable. Repeat use saves on cost and speeds up turnaround between clients.
Gallery teams will be uncrating, storing, rehanging, and re-shipping dozens of artworks over the coming months. With limited time between exhibitions and fairs, reducing the need for custom packing per shipment frees up resources. ArtPakk bags not only protect your inventory but enhance the professionalism of your handling process.
For artists who self-ship or manage their own studio logistics, ArtPakk offers a reliable and affordable way to ensure your work arrives safely and looks good doing so. With no tape or cutting required, artworks can be transported multiple times with the same bag, maintaining condition across shows and collector deliveries.
Whether relocating works from storage, lending to an institution, or rotating pieces at home, collectors will also see a flurry of activity post-summer. ArtPakk is the ideal solution for quick, safe transitions—providing peace of mind without reliance on single-use packaging.
Don’t Wait for the Last-Minute Rush
In previous years, we’ve seen a spike in orders from September onward—often with short turnaround times and urgent shipping needs. While we pride ourselves on fast service, we strongly encourage galleries, logistics providers, and collectors to place bulk orders ahead of time to avoid potential delays or limited stock as demand surges.
We offer bulk pricing, bespoke sizing for large clients, and partnership packages for logistics companies looking to offer added-value services to their art clients.
