  • Carboard packaging for framed and stretch canvas prints

    Hi all.

    Just wondering if anyone has any decent contacts/suppliers for packaging for these type of items. I’ve seen several web sites advertising these, but they always seem to be non-standard sizes (not A3, A2 etc) and the ones that do look suitable seem very pricey (£4.80/box).

    I’ve also looked at having them custom made, but the smallest dimension most of them do (about 75mm deep) is too big for one item (about 30mm deep). I know I could pack them out with bubble wrap, but I’d probably lose a lot of the profit margin buying THAT much bubble wrap 🙂

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Hi Pete.
    Canvas and stretcher bars should be able to sort you out.

    A customer of ours was shipping out loads of canvas prints a day, they just wrapped them in large bubble wrap.

    We can get the small bubble wrap, 1.5m x 100m for less than £30, from our paper merchant.

    Hi Gary.

    Checked out their website and it seems far more reasonably priced than some I’ve seen. Thank you for that.

    Hi David.

    I thought about doing something like that. But it just rankles a little with regards to product packaging and customers first impressions. I already get a lot of repeat buyers for my stuff and I think professional looking packaging does go some way towards that. Thanks for the suggestion though.
