Huge Painting
How can I mail a big canvas painting?
I live in the UK and I want to send it overseas to Hong Kong.
It's going to be a huge painting as a present for my parents, well huge by my standards 
about 2meters by 1meters.
Go to a lumber yard and buy cheap lathing strips usually they come in
1-1/2 " by 1/4 " USA standards
Using thin brads( nails ) nail the strips to the canvas frame.
Lay down the painting on a flat surface. Painted side facing up, the lathing strips should be higher then the thickness of the canvas frame by about 7/8" Keep in mind these are US standards in inches you will have to convert them yourself.OK.Now take the strips and tack them starting from the back of the canvas frame and make them even with the the back of the frame so this allows the strips to stick up higher then the face of the painting.Make a frame around the whole canvas.
Next buy a sheet of cheap thin wood paneling to tack onto the front of the lathing strips the cheapest you can find . this will protect the paintings surface. and do the same for the back, the cheapest paneling you can find. It will make the cost of shipping a bit higher ,but the painting will be protected nicely this way.And no harm can ruin it.
One last thing if the wood paneling you buy has a design on it just reverse the paneling to use the back side of it. I have sent paintings this way and they arrived safely in-tacked.
