When time is of the essence, you don’t want to waste it on reinventing the wheel. Transporting art is as much a specialty as buying and selling it, so why not take advantage of someone else’s expertise? Our Gallery Service offers reliable, no-nonsense shipping options for fine art on any budget.
Our street-savvy Art Sprinters get your art from A to B smoothly and swiftly, even in low-emission city zones.
Many galleries, auction houses, and other institutions are located in city centres, making pick-up and delivery a challenge even before congestion zones are taken into consideration. Operating from large hubs beyond city limits, we send out combined transports in small vans that meet any necessary requirements for inner-city use.
No artwork is the same, and their travel needs reflect this. We pack artworks according to their individual needs to guarantee a safe ride.
From the bare basics to the highest standard in sustainable safety and innovation, we know how to pack your artwork safely according to your wishes.
After careful assessment our art handlers can pack your artwork with great care, choosing from a wide variety of quality materials such as acid-free paper, bubblewrap, Tyvek, PE film, Melinex, cushions, reusable plastic crates, backing boards, and glass tape. Ask us about the possibilities!
For tailored packing solutions, we can offer the services of highly-skilled, in-house carpentry teams who can build according to your artwork’s requirements. From a simple box that offers extra protection for short distances to a museum standard, climatized wooden crate for outgoing loans, our teams can help you choose what your artwork needs.
Wherever possible, we focus on high-quality and sustainable packaging solutions that promote our dedication to change in the industry, like the reusable and modular Turtle.
TURTLE’s safe, sustainable, and innovative packaging solutions have been trusted by museums worldwide since 1994 to safely transport their most valuable artworks. Years of innovation through research and development have resulted in an entire catalogue of unrivalled design in modular and reusable products, available worldwide and to everyone through respected partners in the industry.
Our art handlers come prepared, and can expertly pack any artwork for safe travel on-site.
