How to prepare and ship artwork for fine art reproduction

Unlike film, artwork reproduction is custom-scoped: size, medium, whether the piece is framed or behind glass, its condition, and how many pieces all shape the approach. Begin with a discovery call so we can advise on packing, insurance, and whether shipping or an onsite visit is the better route for your work.

Tell us about any fragility — flaking paint, deckled edges, works that shouldn't be unframed, or pieces that can't be removed from glazing. We capture on Phase One and Cruse with cross-polarization and conservation-grade handling, but the more we know before the piece arrives, the safer the process.

If the work is large, fragile, or too valuable to ship — or you have many pieces — onsite capture at your location is often the better answer. For major collections we bring the lab to you anywhere in the world.
