Great question!  Small art prints (5x7 and 8x10) ship in a no-bend mailer. Larger art prints (12x12, 12x16, 18x24, 20x20, and 24x36) are rolled and shipped in a mailing tube. If you order a combination of small and large prints, they will be rolled together and shipped in a mailing tube. Note: in an effort to reduce waste, prints are wrapped in recyclable acid-free tissue paper and do not ship individually wrapped in plastic sleeves. Original paintings vary by size and may need to be shipped using different materials. Most paintings are wrapped in protective materials and packaged in a corrugated cardboard box.  Typically, paintings with a side longer than 48 inches are removed from their stretcher bars, rolled, and shipped in a tube to be restretched at their destination. I'm happy to help you through this process - just ask! :)
