Pack out the back of the canvas so it cannot be poked through and use a few layers of bubble wrap to protect it then enclose cardboard around the picture before final wrapping paper or sew into a canvas bag.
Or just ask the shipping company what they use.

Previously, shipping for art would have been in a crate bigger than the piece itself. Since there are places such as the Container Store that sell cardboard boxes in a variety of sizes, there are also many ways to pack a painting for convenient shipping.
If you have questions or concerns, you can always ask the people in places such as FedEx Kinko's, the Container Store, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples or look for a store locally in your phone book that handles specialty boxes for shipping.
Also, one thing you must remember is that the painting is completely finished. And by that I mean the acrylic has dried completely and the surface is wrapped separately so that nothing sticks to the packing. After all, if there is cotton sticking to a custom portrait for my family, I (as the customer) wouldn't be pleased. Be certain as to having your artwork completely finished and the surface set so that nothing gets damaged in transit.
Good luck!

If you're not sure about how to package it, and it's a valuable painting, consult with some of the shipping companies like UPS, Mailport, Mailboxes Etc, and so on. They claim to be able to wrap and ship anything. You may have to get a custom container made for it, and buy enough bubble wrap to keep a 3rd grade class happy for an afternoon, but if it's valuable enough, it'll be worth it.

I found that when shipping works of arts, the best packaging method is a wooden box or a crate. The art work should be wraped with a soft cloth and protected on both sides with foam. This will assure that the art work will arrive at its destination damage free.
