If you’re planning a move soon, there’s no need to fret, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greenville is here to offer the best tips for packing collectibles!
For those who collect action figures, the packaging is important. It’s preferable to preserve the packaging and not just for aesthetic reasons. The packing that these things arrive in is also ideal for transporting and shifting. So, if you still have the packaging, place the figurine and other similar items back in it before putting them in a moving box.
Place your valuable collectibles in their own boxes rather than in the same box as your other normal household goods. They’ll be more secure and safe when they have their own container, whether it’s action figures or vinyl records.
If you’re a wine lover, you’ll want to stock up on wine shipping boxes for your relocation; they may be purchased online via Amazon. Did you know that 80 vinyl records can fit into an average moving container? They also provide bespoke vinyl containers that are the ideal size for transporting your valuable collection.
Traditional advice for transporting anything delicate is to wrap newspaper around them, however, this may harm your valuable things. If there is even a little bit of moisture or pressure on the surface, the ink in newspapers will readily spread to other surfaces.
That’s why you should opt for acid-free packing paper when you’re wrapping your collectibles. Wrapping up your collectible items is of the utmost priority when ensuring that everything survives the transporting process, but you have to be careful about what you choose to wrap certain items in.
