Published: January 01, 2023

Packing your collectibles for a move doesn’t have to be an overwhelming challenge. Just devote some extra attention to wrapping them up properly, and you can rest easy knowing that they’ll arrive at their destination in one piece. If you’re planning a move soon, there’s no need to fret. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Northeast OH, Cleveland & Akron is here to offer the best tips for packing collectibles!

Keep the Packaging

To keep your collectibles in tip-top condition, handle them with extra care. Ideally, these delicate items should be stored inside the box or packaging they came with for safekeeping and longevity. If you have kept the original box that it arrived in, place the item back before transferring it to another container of your choice. Doing this will help protect them from any unnecessary breakage and extend their life span significantly!

Dedicated Boxes

You shouldn’t only store action figures and vinyl records in separate containers. All of your valuables need to be stored this way for extra protection.

And if you’re moving and transporting your wine bottles with you, Amazon offers custom shipping boxes built just for the job. These containers are designed to store bottles securely while saving precious space.

Ditch the Newspaper

While newspaper may appear to be an inexpensive way of wrapping and protecting your possessions, watch out! The ink in the paper, upon exposure to moisture or pressure (even minor quantities), can stain and possibly destroy your items.

Acid-free packing paper is crucial when packing your antiques. No other material can compare to its importance in preserving your antique items.
