ArtWraps is developing accessible, safe and trustworthy packaging solutions to people in the arts industry to reduce single-use plastic waste.
The story behind
Founded in 2020, Artwraps provide accessible, safe and trustworthy packaging solutions to people in the arts industry to reduce single-use plastic waste.For more that 20 years we have been handeling arts. Sending arts abroad, collecting arts from auctionhouses and exhibitions, and moving arts from one place to another. One day we had just recieved back some artworks that had been on loan, we noticed the mountain of bubble wrap that was lefte after we had unwrapped the paintings. It was huge. We sat down an looked at eachother and said. We must do something to stop this. Establishing ArtWraps is what we did.

The (Packaging) Problem
Secure packaging and transport of art valuables have often led to heaps of disposable materials. Artists, museums, galleries and auction houses generally have a high level of environmental awareness however, It's particularly difficult to tackle waste and emissions from packaging, transporting and storage.
Change from bubble wrap to recycelable plastic and fiber materials when transporting and storing art!
How artists, museums, auction houses, transport companies, art collectors, galleries and online art dealers can help save our environment
