Crating oversized frames Oversized framed artwork creates shipping risks that standard packing methods are rarely designed to handle. As frame size increases, so do the structural forces placed on corners, glazing surfaces, hanging systems, and frame joints during transport. What looks stable on the wall can become highly vulnerable once vibration, pressure transfer, and movement enter the equation. What proper crating and packing choices help reduce: • corner impact and frame separation risk • flex and pressure stress across oversized glazing • shifting movement during transport • puncture, compression, and handling damage Professional crating systems are designed to stabilize oversized artwork while controlling movement and distributing transport stress more safely throughout the shipment process. At Picture Worth Custom Framing, oversized artwork packing is approached as structural protection — not simple wrapping. Proper reinforcement, spacing, padding, and crate construction all influence whether valuable artwork arrives safely or suffers preventable damage during transit. Because oversized framing failures usually happen during handling and transport — not while hanging on the wall.
