Also I have often realized that people do not take the time (or cannot) to read instructions. So I skip this part in the meanwhile.<BR/>There has been even a case where my bubble wrap was simply used for someone else - they cut out the label of my name, which I had placed on the bubble wrap, and put it (the label) back into the box - apparently they thought it would be enough to ship the work back with the label inside but without the bubble wrap. And this was a (well known) art center!!There must have been a lot of guardian angels on that trip (overseas!) because my work arrived back home without a scratch. A true miracle although the work moved loosly inside the box of course because there was no bubble wrap any more. <BR/>You see - you can do the best you ever can think of - there is always something that did not come into your mind simply because humans are human and not everyone does take care of things as you would do. <BR/>So I always send some prayers with my babies when they leave my home - LOL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871565282521663165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-14546637588356498032008-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:002008-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:00I'll join!

Do you include the picture with your packing instructions? That is a lot of time, but probably worth it!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588058900108581435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-80009037682806065132008-01-24T08:27:00.000-06:002008-01-24T08:27:00.000-06:00Any joiners for a Peanut-less Packing campaignAny joiners for a Peanut-less Packing campaignkristy goggiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815837889593833212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-22994980813193612572008-01-16T11:56:00.000-06:002008-01-16T11:56:00.000-06:00I totally agree with your post. Several years ago...I totally agree with your post. Several years ago, a sent a painting in a box, but didn't completely tape down the liner on top, but left it as a flap. The person who packed it obviously thought it was okay to put the bubble wrap (bubble side) against the painting instead of the flap of glassine that was available. Of course after traveling this way in a completely packed box, the pressure created bubble marks all over the painting. After that, I've decided it's worth the effort to line cases properly with polyetheline foam and glassine and keep the packing as simple as possible.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156920553547330419noreply@blogger.com
