Here are some helpful tips when it comes to packing and storing
- When packaging plates, use a separator (paper and bubble plastic works best).
- Use newspapers for cups, glasses or any fragile containers to help support them during transportation.
- Protect all highly polished furniture with bubble wrap to protect it from scratching and dents.
- Books should be packed in smaller boxes because of their weight (easier to carry).
- Once inside a storage unit, leave the refrigerator and freezer slightly open.
- Boxes containing textiles should be lined with plastic. – (reduces dust).
- Ensure all fabrics are clean and dust-free before packing.
- Use environmentally-friendly insect repellents on fabrics whenever possible.
- Make sure there is enough space between boxes to allow for good ventilation and ease of access later.
- Put your framed paintings and pictures on double layers of bubble wrap to protect your frames from direct contact with the concrete floor.
- Organize your boxes by marking them with numbers on both sides and compiling a detailed list of each box’s contents. This information should be stored on your computer.
