    Materials Index 

      

    The following is a compendium of materials commonly used to wrap, pack and protect art and artifacts. Click on a list item below to visit a detailed article on each material. Ultimately these articles will mature to include photos, typical material applications, case studies, vendor links, and more.

    Our goal is to provide you with information on how the materials can be used and how they react, both positive and negatively. Although there may be times when you may have to use a material because it is the only one available to get the job done, and which may not be the most correct option, you need to know the limits of that material.

    Within each material article, add comments to help increase our collective knowledge of the benefits and/or problems with the material. You can also visit the Packing Materials and Techniques forum topic to view and participate in discussions on materials.
