Why Artwork and Antiques Need Specialist Packaging
Fragile and high-value pieces are vulnerable to damage during transport. Unlike standard goods, artworks and antiques often have delicate surfaces, irregular shapes, or historical value that requires specialist packaging to ensure safe delivery. Professional packing reduces the risk of damage, preserving both the financial and sentimental value of these items.
