How to Use Shrink Wrap to Ship and Store Artwork

When you go to an art museum or gallery, you know you’re not allowed to touch the paintings. This is because paintings can be delicate. Depending on the types of paint, paper, canvas, etc., the oils on your fingers can degrade and distort the image. That’s why art pieces need to be treated with care when being stored or transported. One solution that many artists, dealers, and galleries use is shrink wrap.
