Packaging For…Art – Part Two
Welcome back to another edition of our regular 'Packaging For' series, where today we're diving into the commercial side of the art and picture industry. As we explored last week in the luxury segment, the art world caters to a vast array of needs, from high-end pieces with significant personal significance to more commercially focused offerings. While the luxury sector demands premium protection and presentation, the commercial side presents a unique set of challenges. With the rise of online platforms enabling people to create and purchase prints of artwork, the demand for affordable yet functional packaging has skyrocketed.
Friday’s Industry Insights
In this segment, we'll focus on the commercial art space, where cost-efficiency and practicality take center stage. The commercial art market thrives on affordability, making it essential to balance cost with functionality. Unlike luxury items, where protection is paramount, commercial art often carries sentimental value, requiring packaging solutions that are both economical and protective.
Last week, we discussed the luxury segment, where the emphasis was on safeguarding high-value, personalized pieces. Today, let's explore how the commercial art industry adapts its packaging strategies to meet the needs of a broader audience.
Commercial Art Packaging Requirements
The commercial art industry operates in a competitive environment, driven by the need to keep costs low while maintaining quality. Here are some key considerations:
- High Volume: Many online art businesses handle large quantities of orders, requiring packaging solutions that are quick and efficient to use. A streamlined range of packaging options helps maintain operational efficiency.
- Protection: Even though the items may not be priceless, they often hold sentimental value for customers. Protecting these items during shipping is crucial, ensuring they arrive intact and well-presented.
- Cost Efficiency: Packaging should not only be affordable but also easy to ship. Lightweight and compact designs help reduce shipping costs, which is especially important for third-party carriers that charge based on weight.
Practical Packaging Solutions for Commercial Art
Postal Boxes
Postal boxes are a versatile option for shipping various art items, including prints, photographs, and posters. When purchased in bulk, they offer a cost-effective solution for smaller products. Postal tubes, specifically, are ideal for long, flat items like posters and prints. Our postal tubes come in a variety of sizes, crafted from strong cardboard with a durable Kraft paper exterior. The caps are designed to fit snugly, ensuring the contents remain secure during transit.
Flat postal boxes that comply with Royal Mail PiP guidelines are perfect for sending flat items such as postcards and photographs. These boxes are supplied in white, offering a clean and professional appearance. Using the 'Tuck-In Flap' style enhances security and simplifies the packing process, making it ideal for handling large volumes of prints. Opting for the 'Small Parcel' size ensures compatibility with most products, helping to standardize your packaging range.
Book Wrap Mailers
Book wrap mailers are an excellent choice for sending personalized photo books, albums, and collections of prints. Designed to fit snugly around the product, they prevent creasing and damage during shipment. The tear-off adhesive strip makes the packing process faster and more convenient.
Bubble Lined Mailers
Mailing bags with bubble lining are indispensable for businesses selling smaller items. The bubble lining provides additional protection against tearing during transit. Co-extruded materials make these bags extra durable. Many of these bags fit within the 'Large Letter' PiP size, reducing shipping costs. Their lightweight design is advantageous for carriers that charge by weight.
To ensure rigidity, place a sheet of cardboard at the front and back of the product inside the bag. ThisåŠ å›ºæŽªæ–½ä¸ä»…增强包装的è€ç”¨æ€§ï¼Œè¿˜èƒ½é˜²æ¢ç‰©å“在è¿è¾“过程ä¸å—æŸã€‚
Cardboard Sheets and Kraft Paper
For wrapping canvases, cardboard sheets provide a simple yet effective solution. Start by wrapping the canvas in bubble-wrap, securing it tightly before adding a cardboard sheet on each side. This approach not only strengthens the package but also protects the canvas from punctures during transport. For added protection, you can wrap the canvas in Kraft paper, which offers excellent burst and tear resistance. Alternatively, you can use Kraft paper alone without cardboard sheets (but never skip the bubble-wrap).
Whether you're shipping fine art or commercial prints, finding the right packaging solution is key to meeting customer expectations. By balancing cost, protection, and efficiency, you can deliver a seamless experience that keeps your customers satisfied.
