SAFE & SECURED PACKING

DELIVERING ACROSS UK

  • Oversized paintings and framed artworkSculptures and fine art installations
  • Antique furniture and decorative objects
  • Auction house purchases and estate shipments
 Our priority: Safe delivery, Professional handling, and Full peace of mind.

Large and delicate artworks require more than standard packaging. 

At ShipLink Ltd, every piece is assessed individually so we can design the most appropriate level of protection. Our team builds bespoke wooden crates and uses museum-grade materials to stabilise, cushion and secure each item during handling and transport. From the moment your artwork is collected until it reaches its destination, every stage is carefully planned to minimise risk, reduce movement, and protect against vibration, temperature change and accidental impact. The result is a packing solution created specifically for your piece — not a one-size-fits-all box.

What Our Packing Includes

Our packing process combines strength, cushioning and environmental protection in a single, carefully engineered solution. We construct custom wooden crates to fit the exact dimensions of the artwork, then line them with acid-free wrapping and specialist cushioning materials to prevent abrasion or chemical damage. Additional reinforcement around edges, corners and frames helps protect vulnerable areas, while internal shock-absorption reduces vibration during long journeys. Where needed, we add moisture barriers and climate-control options to safeguard sensitive surfaces and finishes, ensuring that each item arrives in the same condition it left — safe, secure and fully protected.

Shipping valuable artwork internationally requires experience, precision and total care. At ShipLink Ltd, we specialise in managing every stage of fine art transport — from collection and professional packing to customs clearance and final delivey.

Whether it’s a large canvas, framed piece, sculpture or antique, our team ensures your artwork travels safely and arrives exactly as expected.
