FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING IN A BESPOKE TRANSART PRESENTATION BOX

The artwork is shipped in a bespoke Transart art box designed to provide exceptional protection while remaining lighter and more economical than a traditional custom-built art crate. The box is constructed from one of the highest grades of double-walled cardboard available, making it tough, robust, and specifically designed to withstand the rigours of transport.

The interior is foam-lined so the artwork is protected from all sides and held securely in place, preventing movement during transit. Two-ply liners add further strength and puncture resistance, while 3.6 mm plywood panels placed in both the base and lid reinforce the structure and provide an additional layer of protection.

This carefully engineered packaging ensures the artwork arrives safely while also presenting the piece in a clean, professional and easy-to-open format for the collector.
