Frequently Asked Questions

How do you store antique figurines in a storage unit?

Storing antique figurines in a storage unit requires special attention to prevent damage. To cushion and protect each figurine, wrap it individually in soft, acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. Store them in sturdy, compartmentalized boxes that prevent movement and contact between pieces. Opt for a climate-controlled storage unit to protect the figurines from temperature extremes and humidity, which can cause materials like porcelain and glass to deteriorate or warp. It’s also advisable to keep a detailed inventory with photos, and condition reports for insurance and tracking purposes.

Safeguarding fragile items requires careful packing and positioning. Wrap fragile items individually in several layers of bubble wrap or packing paper, ensuring extra cushioning for delicate parts. Use sturdy, appropriately sized boxes and fill any voids with packing material to prevent shifting during storage or transportation.
