Frame Pictures

Picture BoxPictures can be packed in any of a number of mover's picture boxes.

 

 

Pack inexpensive pictures this way:

• Place s few pieces of newsprint in the bottom of a movers picture box-newsprint; not newspaper.
• Stand the picture up in the box.
• Stuff some wadded up unprinted newsprint around the frame of the picture.
• Seal the box.

A more secure way to do this:

• Wrap bubble wrap around each end of the pictures.
• Stand the picture up in the box.
• Seal the box.

We recommend that more valuable pictures be sandwiched between 2 pieces of corrugated cardboard as described below:

• Cut 2 pieces of corrugated cardboard each about 1/2 inches larger than the picture.
• Wrap the picture in a paper mover's pad.
• Place a piece of corrugated on each side of the picture and tape the pieces of corrugated together-better still, use stretch wrap instead of tape.
• Multiple pictures of similar size can be stacked together - but you must have a sheet of corrugated separating each picture.

If there is glass covering the picture, a more secure method is to place bubble wrap on both sides of the picture as follows:

• Lay the picture flat, picture side up.
• Lay sheets of bubble wrap on the picture until the layers reach about 1/16 inches above the top of the frame.
• Place a piece of corrugated over the picture and then carefully turn the picture over.
• Repeat the bulking process on the backside of the picture. You may not need any.
• Bubble there at all.
• Position another piece of corrugated in place and tape or stretch wrap the 2 pieces of corrugated together.
• Pack the picture in a mirror pack box.

Several pictures of identical size can safely be stretch wrapped together and placed in a single box.
