Packing

At Moviiu, we empower our customers to take an active role in their art transport process through our flexible “DIY” concept. This allows you to save on costs while maintaining the highest standards of security for your valuable artwork.

We provide custom packaging solutions designed specifically for your items, so you can pack them safely and efficiently without being a packing expert. Our boxes are made of triple-reinforced cardboard and are lined with foam on all sides to protect your artwork from shocks and vibrations. This easy-to-use packaging is ready to ship in just minutes.

To make the process even simpler, we offer detailed online video tutorials, guiding you step-by-step through the packing process. These tutorials are available anytime, ensuring you can work at your own pace. Plus, our dedicated team is always available to provide support and expert advice, ensuring your art transport experience is smooth, reliable, and tailored to your needs.

Below, you’ll find helpful tutorials to guide you through packing your artwork. Whether you’re handling 2D or 3D artworks, our easy-to-use packaging solutions ensure the process is quick, secure, and simple.

Our digital platform offers a practical and reliable solution to ensure your item is properly packaged for safe art transport. Based on the weight and dimensions you provide, we determine the correct size of Moviiu’s customized packaging. This includes all the necessary protective materials for optimal safety, giving you complete peace of mind during shipment. Our boxes are made of triple-reinforced cardboard and are lined with foam on all sides to protect your artwork from shocks and vibrations.

If you already have a wooden crate or a cardboard box for shipping, we do not provide additional packaging. In that case, you can simply print the provided waybill, attach it to the crate, and arrange for the collection of your artwork directly from the specified address via your account. Please note that we cannot offer you transport insurance if you ship in your own box/crate.

Our standard packaging solutions are designed for items up to the following sizes:

• Paintings & Prints: Up to 180 × 147 × 25 cm
• Sculptures & Objects: Up to 104 × 60 × 57 cm

For items within these dimensions, our custom-fit cardboard boxes are tailored specifically to the size of your artwork, ensuring secure art transport. For larger artworks, we can still use our standard packaging in many cases, but a manual quote is required due to the size and weight of the item.

Bespoke packaging is required for:

• Very Large Items: For oversized artworks or sculptures that exceed our packaging limitations, we assess each case individually. While we can sometimes accommodate these items with standard packaging, very large objects often require specialized solutions. In these cases, bespoke packaging may include wooden crates or other solutions tailored to the specific needs of the artwork.
• Fragile Items: For delicate or fragile items, such as porcelain, glassware, marble, jade, and similar artworks, we recommend bespoke packaging such as wooden crates to ensure the maximum protection during transport. These items require more secure handling than our standard cardboard boxes can provide.

Yes, you can order packaging from Moviiu even if you do not need transport services. If you only need packaging, please reach out to us at info@moviiu.com. Our team will be happy to assist you in selecting the most suitable packaging solution for your needs.

In your email, please provide us with details such as the dimensions, weight, and nature of the item you intend to pack, so we can ensure your artwork is protected with the same reliability and expertise that we apply to our all-in-one art transport.

If you prefer not to pack your artwork yourself, our “White Glove collection” service offers a complete solution. A team of skilled technicians will come directly to your location to pick up your artwork. They will bring it to our storage facility, where the artwork will be remeasured, a custom-made transport box will be created, and the artwork will be packed securely. Once everything is ready, we will arrange the shipment and send your artwork to its destination.

We ensure that your artwork is carefully prepared and handled throughout the entire process, giving you peace of mind that everything is taken care of.

If your artwork is already packed in cardboard or another type of packaging, please provide us with the dimensions of the current packaging. We will place it directly inside the appropriate Moviiu packaging.

However, it’s important that the artwork is securely packed within its original packaging, ensuring that it cannot move. If the artwork is not tightly secured or if there is any movement inside the original packaging, we cannot guarantee the safety of the transport.
