When storing fragile items in storage units in Las Vegas, making sure they remain intact is a major concern. Thankfully, your saving grace is packaging. Nowadays, there are so many options when it comes to packaging that storing your possessions is less worrisome. Here are some tips to help you protect your fragile items when placing them in Las Vegas storage units. Mirrors, Paintings, Windows and Screens Bubble-wrap mirrors, painting, and windows, and keep them in a flat-pack carton or similarly sized knocked-down boxes. This protects them from scratches and dust. Store them on their sides in an upright position instead of lying flat. Computers, Stereos and Televisions Electrical equipment should always be handled with care. If you still have the original boxes, those are the best to use. If not, bubble-wrap each item individually and place them in good quality cartons with some packing inside to absorb the shock of a potential impact as an added precaution. Seal the carton. Dishes, Glassware and other Breakable Items Prevent glass breakages by wrapping them up in bubble wrap and storing them with linen. Jewelry and Other Valuables Keep jewelry and watches in their original boxes if you can. Otherwise, you may want to invest in jewelry boxes. Bubble-wrap the boxes and keep them in a locked container. Other Tips to Keep in Mind when Storing Fragile Items in Storage Units in Las Vegas Remove batteries from appliances and toys. Batteries can leak and not only damage the appliance, but also your expensive furniture. Place breakable items on the ground and away from heavy items. Try to avoid balancing them on top of other boxes as they might tip over, fall and break. Do not overfill containers or leave them empty as they might burst or collapse. Make sure you mark your boxes and containers as "FRAGILE" and "THIS SIDE UP", particularly if you are enlisting the help of others to do the lifting. Consider the weather. Here in Las Vegas, the heat can affect your fragile belongings while in storage, so climate-controlled storage units might be a good idea. Bubble-wrap is your best friend when storing fragile items. Investing in bubble-wrap and other good quality packaging is always a good idea.
