Packaging
How do I need to pack my work? Please ensure that the packaging is secure in bubble wrap and rigid cardboard that can be reused for the return freight. We will pack with care for the return freight. Some artists choose to invest in reusable boxes for freighting art, see www.framesbydaniel.co.nz these are very secure.
Also please put your name and address on the outside of the package so that we are able to identify it.
