Packing, Arthandling and Crating Information Network
I found a website today that is dedicated to educating people about shipping artwork. I haven't had time to totally explore it, but so far it is very informative. It lists all sorts of materials with their potential pitfalls and benefits. It is mostly geared towards museums and galleries.
I guess that it will make a difference if the painting is framed or not. The frame is often fragile and heavy. When the crate is dropped the weight of the frame will make it move inside the crate if there is room for it. The light weight canvas will just follow the bumping and nothing will happen as long as the plywood is intact.
