- Foam compresses over multiple uses — single-use safer for valuable shipments
- White foam shows dirt
90% of shipping damage to framed art happens at the corners. The corners stick out beyond the bubble wrap, take impact during drops, and crush or chip even with conventional packing. Foam corners distribute that impact across a wider area and dramatically reduce corner damage rates. For any shipment of framed work, these are non-negotiable.
Our Pick
Adjustable foam corner protectors that grip frame corners and prevent the single most common shipping damage: corner crushing during transit drop impacts.
Buy these for every framed piece you ship, period. Frame corners take the impact in 90% of shipping damage incidents — a 6-inch drop onto a hard surface dings any unprotected wood corner. Foam corners absorb that impact across a much wider area.
What we don't like
Adjustable size means they fit a range but don't grip as firmly as size-specific corners on small or oversized frames. Foam compresses over multiple uses — single-use is safer for valuable shipments. And the white foam color shows dirt visibly after shipping.
