Study Task 6!

From in the past of buying prints at print fairs and shops i have a looked at how to package prints effectively. From looking at places like village books and gallery shops in the past i have been familiar with the classic way of packaging a print, this usually involves it in a clear sealed plastic wallet backed by a strong piece of card. This gives it a professional look and keeps it from becoming damaged by human contact or weather.
 This is an example from the shop The Family Store. As you can see all the prints are packaged in plastic wrap and layered with card and then supposedly stuck to the wall with magnets.
This is a good way to hang them without getting damaged.
Other ways to present them are like in this image below. In this one they have wrapped the print in a card cover tied with string which gives it a very high quality look and would be an effective way to package a very expensive print.
