DROP-OFF LOCATIONS (PAINTINGS)
Artists need to get their art pieces to NativeMirror within 48hrs of being notified of a customer order. You can directly deliver artwork to any of our stated Drop-Off locations listed below or alternatively you can use our Free Pick-Up Service (Paintings). The following is required for all artworks delivered to Drop-Off locations.
LABELLING: Please label your package with the information stated hereunder.
- Name of Artist
- Cell Phone Contact
- Title of Artwork
- Write in big bold text “NATIVEMIRROR – DROPOFF” on the package.
- Write “FRAGILE” on the package. Also, write “PLEASE KEEP UPRIGHT. DO NOT LAY FLAT.”
PACKAGING: The artwork needs to be neatly and securely packaged to facilitate transport.
Useful Packaging Guidelines – Domestic Transport:
Step 1 - Wrap painting in glassine or acid-free archival tissue paper; available at art stores.
Step 2 - Wrap the entire work with bubble wrap using tape to secure it shut.
Step 3 - Place cardboard corner protectors on the corners of the wrapped artwork. You can buy corner protectors at art supply stores, or you can construct them yourself. Google will lead you to online resources offering instructions on how to make them
Step 4 - Place the wrapped artwork between 2 pieces of foam board (or two-ply cardboard), forming a “sandwich.” The borders of the foam board sheets should extend 4 inches beyond all edges of the bubble-wrapped artwork. Use packing tape to bind the foam board sandwich together.
Step 5 - Place the foam board-covered painting into a cardboard box. Fill the empty space with enough bubble wrap or wadded/shredded white paper to ensure that the artwork doesn’t shift during transit.
Step 6 - Use long strips of packing tape to completely seal the openings of the box.
