PACKING PROCEDURE

PACKING PROCEDURE

First I remove the canvasses from their stretcher frames.
I then place tissue paper and carefully roll and secure with paper.
Then I wrap in a protective padded sheet followed by a layer of cellophane wrap.
This package is then slipped into a 6" strong roll.
The ends are secured with plywood and 'Fragile' tape.
The address is printed and placed on the roll, covered with clear sellotape.
The roll is ready for shipping with Posta Global Kenya.
A tracking number is given and is trackable immediately on their web site
I Whatsapp photos of every stage of packing and of the shipping details.

Track your parcel

For smaller paintings with frames I use tissue, padded foam and then padded foam wrap.
The package is then sandwiched between two sheets of plywood,before a final cellophane wrap and brown paper.
