Protecting Art Supplies

An art travel kit is essentially a collection of art material, art supplies, and tools that you can easily carry along with you while you are traveling. Whether you are traveling on holiday abroad, or whether you are visiting a local destination for some nature inspiration, an art travel kit is a creative must-have for anyone who enjoys making art! Our bags are water-resistant and have some waterproof components. Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof. Water-proofing is achieved by ultrasonically welding plastic panels together to create a watertight membrane - an extremely expensive undertaking that would likely triple or quadruple the price of our products if used. Water-resistance means that the item has a higher likelihood of keeping your possessions dry. The Polyester shell covering the outer surface of our products is waterproof and the Toughtek covering high-wear areas is waterproof. The zips and stitching are water-resistant. All these features work to greatly minimise moisture entering the internal compartments and damaging your belongings and art. However, the Art Satchel and Field Case cannot be classified as waterproof strictly speaking. Nevertheless, one of our customers took his Slate Mini out during a Tropical storm (same materials) and the results were amazing. The bag kept everything dry. It is always a good idea to choose a bag that is waterproof so that your art materials and tools are protected from rain, spilled coffee (this regularly happens to me), or other liquids.

It also has two different size handles. You can carry it by hand using the short handles, or sling it over your shoulder using the longer ones. An artist must also consider whether they will use their bag only for art supplies or whether their bag will serve a more multifunctional purpose. Bags with more compartments allow users to store everyday items along with their art supplies, so they can go from the office to the studio without having to swap bags or even hop on a plane for a vacation or business trip. This ArtBin supply box is made from a hard plastic that is durable and resistant to wear and tear. The tip guard trays prevent the spillage of liquid-based art and craft supplies.
