I just completed the design of a new art protection product. It’s patent pending which gives me some time to raise funds to complete the project. I’m looking for grants specifically to support this endeavor.

If you know of any and can share links that would be greatly appreciated. Here are the categories that fit me:

- Small business grants

- For profit grants

- Grants for women

- Women of color grants

- Invention grants

- Pitch competitions

- Michigan based opportunities

Thank you for the support!

Do you use them exclusively for shipping or transport as well? Do you use them for storage?

I have a number of pieces in my shop that artists have not picked up for some time. I’m planning to store them with cardboard corner protectors (so I can easily see the art) but wanted to see how others tackle this dilemma before doing so.

What I have now: bubble wrap sleeves, foam sleeves, some specialty boxes and stretch wrap. I need a better solution so my next step was cardboard. Thoughts?
