I need to ship and store acrylic and oil paintings. I have noticed that the paint from the acrylic at least transfers onto the plastic. I would like to know if there is a better way and/or anything I can use to avoid this from happening.

For my acrylic paintings, my art dealer uses a collar of corregated cardboad wrapped around the edge. You can buy rolls of cardboard, cut strips that will be a couple of inches wider than the thickness of the painting itself. Wrap the painting's edge and staple the two ends together, then using packing tape, wrap the whole painting in the cardboard collar in plastic, also available in rolls from moving supply places and home depot. The plastic is raised above the surface of the painting and the collars rest ontop of one another when they are shipped. This will also work for oil paintings because they can scrape together.

Read this article from Golden Paints - it answers a lot of questions on this subject such as transference and cracking. It's a long read, but worth it.

a thick layer of sponge but you can send it as fragile...
usually you just put it in a roll and in a tube ....but if you painted on a ready on canvas....
sponge is best..
