Why Ireland needs special attention

Shipments to Ireland are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.

The 5 steps to pack painting for Ireland

Step 1 — Materials needed. angoli rinforzati cartone, pluriball completo, box dedicata 'quadri'.

Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean painting before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.

Step 3 — Inner protective layer. wrap painting con minimo 3 strati di pluriball (o 4-5 for oggetti very delicati). Non save sull'packaging: il parcel passa for 2-3 hub europei.

Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.

Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Ireland's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
