How to package your artwork

Packaging your artwork is really important not only to how the finished work looks, but also for protection. This is especially true for items like prints that get pawed through by customers. Imagine your work getting handled by someone with an ice cream sandwich in their hands. Not a pretty picture.

One of the best ways to solve both problems is with bags from ClearBags.com. They offer lots of different packaging solutions including bags and boxes. My favorite bags for storing my matted prints are their Protective Closure Bags. These crystal clear seal-able bags are great because they have the re-sealable adhesive strip on the outside of the bag instead of on the flap. So, if you ever have to open the bag and remove the contents, say to change the mat, the artwork won't get stuck to the flap. (Ask me how I know!)

ClearBags also carries lots of different types of packaging for greeting cards including bags, sleeves, and boxes. Check out their website.
