Fine art shipping is more than just moving a painting—it’s about protecting irreplaceable pieces with the care they deserve. In Dallas, TX, where the art scene spans iconic institutions, indie galleries, and private collections from Uptown to Frisco, reliable art shipping is essential. From preparing artwork to travel to an exhibit to safely transporting a private collection, Navis Pack & Ship of Dallas delivers custom packing, crating, and shipping solutions built for the unique demands of fine art in North Texas.
The Dallas Art Scene: A Cultural Powerhouse That Demands Protection
Dallas has become a true heavyweight in the art world. Anchored by the Dallas Arts District—home to the DMA, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Crow Museum—it’s a city where creativity drives serious investment. Neighborhoods like Deep Ellum, the Design District, and Bishop Arts pulse with gallery traffic, while suburbs such as Plano, Richardson, and Southlake are thriving with private collectors and art-forward businesses. In a metro where artwork is always in motion, the need for secure, expert-level shipping is constant.
Why Specialized Art Shipping Matters
Safely shipping fine art requires more than just care—it requires expert knowledge and the right tools and resources. From materials to compliance, every detail can impact the integrity of a piece in transit. At Navis Pack & Ship of Dallas, we treat each shipment like it’s museum-grade, because often, it is. Here’s what sets our service apart:
- Decades of experience serving Dallas and the surrounding region, with deep knowledge of local needs and expectations.
- Secure packing techniques for both 2D and 3D works, including fragile mixed media, large paintings, heavy statues, and oversized sculptures.
- Custom crating tailored to each piece’s unique dimensions, value, and fragility.
- Compliance with regulations for shipping with the United States to internationally. A painting headed to a gallery in New York or a sculpture being flown to Europe deserves the same level of protection—and we make sure it gets it.
Smart Prep Means Safer Shipping
Success in art shipping begins long before the crate is sealed. That’s why our process focuses on thoughtful planning, thorough documentation, and proactive protection. Here's how we prepare your artwork for a secure journey:
- Evaluate its fragility and value to guide packing and crating decisions.
- Document everything with detailed photographs and item descriptions.
- Use the best packing materials and techniques, built to endure cross-country or global transit.
- Offer coverage options to protect against damage or loss in transit.
- Provide white glove service when you need delivery, placement, and debris removal on arrival. From a studio in Addison to a new home in Seattle—or from a Fort Worth gallery to an exhibit in Miami—our team ensures every piece is ready for what's ahead.
