What is an etching. We usually handle an etching every day. Each time we handle money, that is an etching also known as intaglio (a design incised or engraved into a material) This is usually hand etched using a number of tools like a gouge or bur. In most cases an acid is used to remove metal like copper or zink to make the etching (intaglio) plate. Once you are finished with the drawing you ink it up and put it through a printing press on very high end acid free 100% rag paper. Than it drys and is signed and what you are left with is a beautiful piece of art.
This is a simplified explanation if intaglio but I hope you get the idea.

When shipping some items like etchings on paper will in most cases be shipped insured via USPS in a flat rate box. However if the item exceeds the box sizes, these pieces will be rolled and shipped in a tube. Don’t worry this will not damage your precious piece of art just take it out once you get it and lay it on a flat surface the curl will start to fall out, if it doesn’t entirely just lay a towel on it and put a few book onto it, this should take car of the job. . If you do have questions or concerns please fell free to call or email me.
