Export Note
A straightforward export note for South African wall-art orders, written for teams managing artwork, packing and destination details.
Export paperwork for wall-art consignments
Export Note outlines the information needed for wall art orders leaving South Africa. It brings together artwork references, packing details and destination notes so the shipment can be prepared correctly.
An Export Note records the pieces leaving South Africa, the print references tied to each carton, and the delivery point receiving them. It should match the approved wall visuals, finished sizes, packing method, and any handling concerns such as framed corners, acrylic faces, or rolled media. For décor teams sending work to lodges, retail sites, offices, or apartments, that record helps artwork, packing, and dispatch work from the same information.
Include the first clear image of the installed area or mock-up with the note, not only the final art file. That image gives context for orientation, trim position, and how panels relate to windows, joinery, or switch plates. Keep the note with the artwork folder so reprints or replacement panels can be matched against the original shipment record.
Details that must travel
A useful Export Note names each artwork set, states quantity per size, and shows how the order is packed for transport. Room names, wall widths, and destination contacts matter just as much as the print spec when multiple sites are shipping at once. List what is leaving the studio or warehouse, not broad design discussion.
Before dispatch, cross-check the note against approved artwork, carton labels, and the destination address on the courier booking. Add any print issues, install constraints, or site observations that could affect unpacking on arrival. If you send it through the contact form, attach wall visuals, room measurements, and the latest export list in one message.
- Artwork codes matched to each carton
- Destination rooms listed by size
- Packing notes for fragile finishes
Checks before goods leave SA
Use the note to capture destination country, receiving contact, and any marks needed on outer packaging. Exported wall art often includes mixed sets, so panel order, hanging sequence, and crate count should be obvious before collection. Where a job moves through OR Tambo or another freight point, carton references must match the paperwork exactly.
Materials need different packing instructions. Boxed frames, acrylic-mounted prints, and rolled wallpaper panels cannot be grouped under one generic handling note. Coastal destinations may also need extra attention to wrap choice and edge protection where moisture or salt air is a factor during transit or storage.

What to send with the note
Send the Export Note with wall visuals, room sizes, deadlines, and any print or install issues already picked up. Use a clear subject line.
List substitutions or split shipments clearly if part of the order is following later. That gives the receiving team a single reference when unpacking, checking counts, and placing artwork in the correct rooms.
