Keep Your Collectibles Safe During Your Move to the North Shore Area

Published: September 01, 2022

Packing items such as figurines, sports memorabilia, and other valuables can be difficult to do so without the worry of them getting damaged. To reduce the chance of any potential breakage, wrap them up tightly and securely.

If you’re planning a move soon, there’s no need to fret, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of North Shore is here to offer the best tips for packing collectibles!

Keep the Packaging

Handle your figurines with care, as they may be delicate. It is more practical to store the box rather than display the figurine if you need to preserve it for longer. These goods usually come in a package that can double as storage, so if you still have the box, simply repack the figurine before placing it into another container.

Dedicated Boxes

Keep your valuables in separate containers for extra protection. This includes items such as action figures and vinyl records.

If you enjoy wine, you’ll want to order wine shipping boxes for your move, they’re available on Amazon. Did you know that an 80-record moving container can hold the average music collection? Vinyl containers are also available and ideal for transporting your prized possessions.

Ditch the Newspaper

Wrap delicate things, such as china or glassware, carefully. Wrapping your valuables in newspapers, on the other hand, might be harmful. Even a little amount of moisture or pressure put on the paper causes the ink in the newspaper to spread rapidly.

When packing your antiques, you’ll need acid-free packing paper. Nothing can compare to the importance of using acid-free packing paper when it comes to antique preservation.
