ArtPakk Protective Art Bags

SMART CHOICE

At Gigglewick Gallery we are responsible for transporting, exhibiting and storing valuable artworks. The art pieces vary dramatically in shape, size, weight, media and age and the variations impose significant challenges in time, packaging materials, storage space and sustainability.

After some significant research we have made a smart choice and selected ArtPakk as our art transportation and storage packaging supplier and are now official stockists. Why we changed to ArtPakk

Improved Customer Experience. Clients no longer need to return to store to give us time to pack the artwork. An ArtPakk is provided free to the client for every purchase of original art, emphasising its value and assisting the client in protecting the artwork in the long term. Additional ArtPakk's can be purchased at discounted prices.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY

Both the fabrics used in the bags are non-toxic and are recyclable materials.

Using these bags not only saves time but also rolls of unwanted bubble wrap being used and discarded after one use. The bags are easy to use over and over again which offers a more ecofriendly alternative.

Constant use of this material is not only harmless to your health but it does not pollute the environment neither in production or use.

REUSABLE

The bags are reusable to protect your artwork and the environment. The bags have a stitched Velcro seal on the inside of the flap. This makes it easy to re seal again and again.

No need to use tapes that stick to the bags and leave a residue and look untidy.

STRONG & SHOCK ABSORBENT

The middle layer of the bag has a cushioning effect that recovers after pressure. This material is also very strong whilst being very light weight.

The edges are sewn together with strong fabric bindings; this prevents the sides from splitting or the edges of the art works piercing through.

There is no more need for blue edging to protect the edges of your art from knocks.

ACID FREE LINING

The inner and outer layers of the bags are made up of polypropylene, which is a nontoxic, lightweight fabric with ph. neutral properties. This is important for the long term protection of storing art. The lining is mould repellent, again another factor that in time can damage art. When shipping artworks the water resistant and mould repellent properties are very important, water damage is irreversible on most art.

WATER RESISTANT

The middle lining of the art bag is actually water proof; water will run off the material. This added together with the outer and inner linings makes the bag water resistant.

INSULATION PROPERTIES

The middle layer has the properties to keep the contents warm or cold. This makes the art bag the perfect solution for storing artworks in temperature controlled rooms. This will keep the art at an even temperature, something that can be harmful to certain types of art mediums.
