Fragile figurines, sports memorabilia, and irreplaceable antiques may be frightening to put in boxes while relocating. You should always make sure you pack them carefully in order to minimize the chance of damage. They’re not easy to come by.
If you’re planning a move soon, there’s no need to fret, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Winston-Salem is here to offer the best tips for packing collectibles!
For those who collect action figures, the packaging is significant. It’s more practical to keep the packaging rather than just for the sake of appearances. The packaging that these things arrive in is also convenient for transporting and relocating them. 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 valuables in their own boxes rather than together with other household goods. When they have their own container, whether it’s action figures or vinyl records, they’ll be more secure and protected.
If you’re a wine connoisseur, you’ll want to stock up on wine shipping boxes for your move; they may be found on Amazon. Did you know that an average moving container can hold 80 vinyl records? Customized vinyl containers are also available, and they’re the ideal size for transporting your prized collection.
Traditional guidelines for transporting anything delicate advise wrapping newspaper around them, but this may damage your valuables. If there is even a little amount of moisture or pressure on the surface, the ink in newspapers will spread rapidly.
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.
