Most online Art Galleries use cardboard tubes for the postage of paper prints.

This is an easy, safe and cost effective way of transportation but there is one thing that you must do.

When the tube drops through the door remove the print immediately and place it on a flat surface.

Leaving it in the tube will not affect the inks but it will make it very difficult to frame at a later date.

While a mounting card will hold down the edges the middle of the print will bow.

The only way to frame flat at this point is with no mounting card which takes away the impact of the art.
