Shipping via Bluethumb Courier Overview.
Select this option if your artwork is over 105 cm on one side, or would simply prefer a Bluethumb courier to collect your artwork.
You will need to ensure you are there on the day of collection to hand over the artwork to our couriers. Our couriers won’t collect your artwork if it's left unattended.
Firstly, take a look through the following resources for reference on how to package an artwork.
How to pack your artwork - Acid free tissue paper or glassine paper is laid on top of the artwork surface first, then using three layers of bubble wrap. Who doesn't like extra padding on a long journey?
