Make sure the packing tape doesn\u2019t come in touch with the painting surface. <\/li><li><strong>Keep <\/strong>in mind that when packing paintings for moving, it\u2019s crucial to use acid-free packing paper as regular packing paper could damage the delicate surface of the artwork. The soft packing paper will provide the first layer of protection to your painting.<\/li><li><strong>Protect <\/strong>the corners. When packing framed artwork for moving, fit corner protectors over the corners of the frame to protect them from damage during the move and add stability to the entire painting.<\/li><li><strong>Wrap <\/strong>the paper-wrapped painting in bubble wrap.
