It could allow your competition to gain market share whilst you are not visible. Mean letting your stockists and customers down. It could stop production lines (at great expense).
New ones will need to be purchased.īut aside from this, there are other potential issues.įor example, not having the required packaging in place could mean a delay to getting products shipped out or launched. Besides the costs of these, your investment in printing plates will also become worthless. Get the artwork wrong initially and, if not spotted in time, you will potentially have stock of boxes that are no longer usable.
These items are key players in what you do as an artist, so let them become part of the show and give them playful roles.Getting your packaging artwork wrong can have a number of significant, negative impacts on your business.įor starters there are the cost implications. So there you go! Storing and organizing your art supplies is worth the time! Finding creative ways to organize your art canvases, paper, and sketchbooks can be stylish and useful. A collection like this just begs to tell some stories. I absolutely adore the look of multiple sketchbooks and art journals all together on a shelf. I have tracing paper, drawing paper, mixed media paper, and watercolor paper all together. I like to keep all of mine together so I know where to go for all my paper. Smaller pads of art paper can be stored on a shelf, vertically. Vertical on Shelf (small and medium size paper) Other ways I’ve kept large paper pads in good shape is to store them on top of a shelf or cupboard and cover with fabric or plastic to keep the dust off.Ĥ. Great idea if you can score a vintage piece like these! I designed some long horizontal shelves in my custom-built storage bin just for this purpose. I’ve seen several photos on Pinterest that show artists using old drafting drawers for their art paper. Storing and organizing large paper pads can be a challenge.

If I were to do it over again, the only thing I would change is to have two of these art bins! It’s full and I still have canvases stacked around my studio. One of my favorite things about it is that it’s on strong casters, so I can wheel it around easily. Lastly, the long vertical bin on the right is for all those oversized pieces that never fit anywhere. I wanted two horizontal shelves for my large paper and work-in-progress pieces, so these are 3ft wide. In between the two vertical storage bins are my long and flat shelves. I have wood panels, thin canvases, and thicker canvases in these. This allows me to store various sizes of art supplies and keep them all organized. The bottom vertical bins are 4ft tall, while the top vertical bins are 3ft tall. I chose to make my storage bin 4ft wide x 6ft tall. I sketched out a plan and gave it to our handyman to build. I did some research on Pinterest and found some ideas that would work for the sizes that I liked to paint on. After years of having stacks of canvases all around my studio, I finally decided to have a custom-built storage bin to store my canvases and wood panels. The longer I painted, the harder it became to organize my art supplies. If you store them like this permanently, just remember to lift those babies off the floor with some scrap wood pieces. When I first bring home new canvases, they typically get stacked like this until I make room on my storage bin. Many canvases have been ruined because they sat in liquid for too long! The reason to keep them off the floor is because there is always the inevitable flood from the water heater breaking or the accidental coffee mug to the floor. In my first art studio, which was a converted garage space, I kept my canvases off the floor with 2×4 wood scraps and stacked them vertically in about three different areas. When your mom owns a framing gallery (mine did), you learn quickly that large art pieces always get stored vertically! The chance of damage is too great if they are stacked on top of one another horizontally. Store & Organize Art Inspiration (paper and computer files)Ĭanvases & Wood Panels 1.
