All Works on Paper are carefully prepared with our studio’s signature gift packaging to be delivered via FedEx. Works on Wood Panels share some common elements. WOWP are crated and delivered by our fine art courier via a white glove service.

1. Archival interleaving (WOP and WOWP)

   Sourced via Preservation Equipment Ltd (PEL). PEL has received a Royal Warrant in the UK as a supplier of materials for conservation and preservation. We generally recommend reusing this layer to protect the artwork in storage, but please consult a local archivist for advice for your specific case.

   • Glassine by University Products to avoid smudges: acid-free, 40gsm, Photographic Activity Test (PAT passed) ISO18916

   • Mounting cards by Arcare to offer support: acid free and lignin free board, 365gsm (0.5mm), Photographic Activity Test (PAT passed) ISO18916

   • Vintage brown cotton ribbon by PEL as an adhesive-free solution to hold the interleaving in place: unbleached, acid-free, archival (*note: the product page claims its colours will not bleed, but we recommend monitoring its condition if used for long-term storage)

   • Handwritten gift message on acid-free tag by Tyvek (WOP) / Handwritten gift card with M. Freddy brand label on mounting card by Arcare (WOWP)

   For WOWP, we do not include a mounting card around the wood panel, but the archival interleaving layer is identical for its Certificate of Authenticity.

2. Gift box (WOP only)

We use box-in-box packaging to protect the artwork during transit.

• Acid-free navy tissue paper for added cushioning: made from 99% recycled pulp fibres

• Thin book style gift box with black ribbon: presentation box made from recycled card with M. Freddy brand label

3. Discrete outer shell (WOP only)

For added protection.

• Corrugated double-walled cardboard box: made in part from recycled paper

• Air pillows from Plantwave: 100% home compostable made of potato starch
