Packing your valuables for travel doesn’t have to be a headache. By taking extra care in wrapping them, you can help to ensure that they’ll make it safely to your destination. If you’re planning a move soon, there’s no need to fret,<\/span> UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a> is here to offer the best tips for packing collectibles!<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep the Packaging<\/b><\/h3>\n

Gently handle your figurines, as they are fragile and may break easily. For longevity, it is best to store them in the box rather than display them out in the open. These items usually come with packaging that can also act as storage. If you have kept the box, return the figurine inside before placing it into another container for safekeeping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dedicated Boxes<\/b><\/h3>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re moving and bringing your wine collection with you, Amazon has shipping boxes specially designed for this purpose. Most people have roughly 80 records in their music collections, and vinyl containers are the ideal size to transport them while saving space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ditch the Newspaper<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you’re wrapping delicate items, be cautious. Many people try to save money by using newspapers instead of buying packing material, but this could damage your valuables. The ink in the paper will spread and potentially ruin your belongings if moisture or pressure is applied to the paper, no matter how small an amount.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acid-free packing paper is crucial when packing your antiques. No other material can compare to its importance in preserving your antique items.<\/span><\/p>\n
