You may not have a Monet or Dali hanging on your wall, but your artwork and pictures are just as valuable to you than anything. When it comes time to move, you may be the person that removes everything from the walls first, or they might be the last things you pack. If you are the type of person that wants to “get in the moving spirit” and remove everything from your walls. I might suggest preparing your packing process with a picture box. Doing so, will make sure they stay safe while you are getting all your stuff ready for the move – leaning all your pictures up against the wall waiting for moving day will inevitably lead to a dresser bumping into the frame, scratching or puncturing the artwork. Depending on how much protection you wish for your pictures you may only need a few picture boxes for all your frames, or if you want to adding padding in between each one, you may only get one or two in each box.
