Choosing the Right Portable Storage Unit for Your Art and Antiques
When it comes to choosing the right portable storage unit for your art and antiques one of the first decisions you will need to make is the size of the portable storage container that best suits your needs.
Our portable storage containers come in three lengths - 12 feet, 16 feet, and 20 feet. The size you choose will depend on the quantity and dimensions of your art and antiques, as well as if you want to store anything else at the same time. It's important to carefully assess your storage requirements to ensure that you select a unit that offers enough space for your valuable items.
Tips for Safely Packing and Moving Your Artwork and Antiques
When it comes to packing and moving your valuable artwork and antiques, taking the necessary precautions is crucial to ensure their safety. Proper organization, suitable packing materials, and secure packaging techniques are all essential elements in this process.
To start, organizing your portable storage container is key. Make sure you have enough space to accommodate your artwork and antiques without overcrowding them. This will help prevent any accidental damage during transit.
When it comes to packing fragile items, such as delicate sculptures or paintings, using the right materials is vital. Bubble wrap, foam padding, and specialized art boxes are excellent choices for providing cushioning and protection. Additionally, consider using acid-free tissue paper or archival sleeves for added preservation.
Labelling your artwork during transit is essential for easy identification and careful handling. Clearly mark each box with its contents and indicate which side should be kept upright to prevent any accidental mishandling.
Lastly, we recommend securing your carefully packaged items inside the portable storage unit using straps and soft materials like blankets. We recommend packing heavier items closer to the floor of the unit with lighter items above. Try to avoid leaving too much space between items - the tighter you can pack your items the more secure they will be.
By following these tips for safely packing and moving your artwork and antiques, you can minimize the risk of damage during transit while ensuring their preservation for years to come.
