When packing antique items, the resource explains it is important to choose the right packaging materials. Using soft, acid-free paper for wrapping is recommended to prevent chemical damage and scratches. Furthermore, readers are advised to use sturdy double-walled boxes to reduce the risk of boxes breaking during transport.
Additionally, the guide notes that some types of packaging materials should be avoided. For instance, readers should not wrap antiques in newspaper, as it can leave ink stains and harm fragile surfaces. Packing peanuts should also be avoided as they often draw dust by creating static.
The guide also provides step-by-step instructions on how to pack antiques securely. Readers should begin by carefully examining their antiques and noting any existing damage or weak spots. Then, the antiques should be wrapped in acid-free paper before being wrapped again in bubble wrap for padding. Finally, the wrapping should be secured with high-quality packing tape while taking care to ensure the tape does not touch the antiques directly.
After securely wrapping the antiques, readers will need to consider their options for safe transportation. For those moving locally with only a small number of fragile items, it may be possible to transport the antiques by car as long as they can be secured within the vehicle. However, the guide recommends enlisting a professional moving company, especially for those traveling long distances with many fragile items.
To help find the right company to assist, the guide provides numerous tips for selecting a trustworthy transporter. For example, readers should ask the company about their insurance coverage to ensure it is high enough to cover all valuable items. In addition, it is recommended to thoroughly research the company’s track record with handling and transporting antiques before engaging them.
The guide also outlines common mistakes made when transporting antiques to help readers avoid incidents. “Frequent errors include not giving enough importance to adequate padding, applying tape directly on the antiques’ surface, and picking boxes that are too big, which lets items move while in transit,” explains the guide.
