Framed Art Work & Prints

Prepare a mirror carton for the artwork by putting wadded newsprint paper on the bottom of the box. Do not close the top end of the box.
Wrap each individual artwork or print with newsprint or wrap them in bubble wrap.
Put the item in the box and if they fit loosely in the box, fill in the spaces with lightly wadded newsprint paper.
Tape the boxes shut and use a marker to write "Fragile-Art Work" onto it.
