How to Keep Collectibles Safe During Your Move to Phoenix

Published: May 01, 2022

Packing delicate figurines, sports memorabilia, and irreplaceables is often difficult. Pack them carefully every time to minimize the danger of damage. It’s tough to replace items like this.

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

Keep the Packaging

Action figures need to be packaged very carefully. It’s more practical to keep the container rather than just for looks’ sake. These things come in a box that is also useful for transporting and moving them about. So, if you still have the box, repack the figurine and any comparable goods before placing it into a container.

Dedicated Boxes

Place your valuables in their own boxes rather than among other household items. If action figures or vinyl records are kept in their own container, they will be safer and more secure.

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

Ditch the Newspaper

Wrap delicate things, such as china or glassware, securely. Wrapping your valuables in newspaper, on the other hand, may damage them. If even a tiny amount of moisture or pressure is applied to the surface, the ink on the newspaper will spread rapidly.

This is why, when wrapping your collectibles, you should use acid-free packing paper. When it comes to ensuring that everything survives the transport process, nothing could be more important than properly packaging your collectibles.
