One, getting ready to package jewelry before moving
Strategies and scheduling： approximations
Before one starts, one should have a plan. About ten days ahead, you should evaluate your belongings and decide whether to use a moving company for help with transportation. Simultaneously, decide on a specific moving date and set a realistic and comfortable time to complete the relocation process based on your own situation.
Necklaces are more valuable items, hence previous packaging preparation is highly important. Consider the packaging technique, tools needed, and how you should arrange and store the necklaces to ensure they are attached securely during the move and thereby prevent loss, damage, or tangling.
II: Combinatorial Tools
If we want to properly wrap necklaces for travel, we have to get ready some necessary things ahead of time.
First of all, straws and toilet paper rolls make good selections. One can cut straws into little pieces fit for the length of the necklace. By threading the necklace through the straw and fastening both ends with a huckers, we can stop it from falling out and therefore avoid tangling by threading. Moreover prevent tangling, toilet paper rolls can be formed into a tube and the necklace can be inserted inside then attached at both ends with a rubber band or thin rope.
A saran wrap is another widely used tool to separate air and reduce necklace oxidation risk. Straight on the workbench, cover the necklace with saran wrap, then tightly bind it to its surface. Start from one end; set the starting point with a clip; then, keep covering until you correctly seal it. Still, try not to overstretch to prevent direct touch with gold jewelry and discolouration.
Furthermore very significant is the combination of jewelry carriers with bubble wrap. Choose a jewelry box depending on the neck size and shape to prevent tangling, dents, and scratches; preferably, it should have soft padding compartment, cushioned sections, or velvet inside. After you have selected the jewelry box, cover it many times with bubble wrap to protect the necklace from vibration and damage during travel. Should the necklace be long, bubble wrap should first be covered over foam or a soft pad.
Invest in some sealable bags as well. To hang longer necklaces and prevent tangling within, cut a piece of cardboard or hook within the sealable bag. Sealable bags let you designate bags to reduce misunderstanding and loss as well as assist you separate numerous types of jewelry so allowing transit and storage while sorting and storing.
Two Methods for Personalizing Neckphones
Stacking using straws or toilet paper rolls
These are the specific methods and basic concepts to keep in mind while choosing whether to pack straws or toilet paper rolls beside jewelery.
Cut straws first in length to complement the necklace. For a medium-length necklace, for instance, we can cut the straw for around 20 cm (adjust the length to match the actual necklace length). Carefully thread the necklace through the straw and attach both ends with a cone or a sharp needle to stop it from sliding out. This basically keeps the necklace from tangling throughout travel, so maintaining its neat and attractive appearance.
First tightly form the toilet paper into a tube using toilet paper rolls. Then softly put the necklace into the curved toilet paper tube and attach both ends with a rubber band or thin rope. Wrap the rubber band around many times and fast tie it tightly if you want the necklace firmly in the paper tube—which can also help to prevent tangling. Still, pay careful attention during the process to avoid breaking the necklace itself.
Packing Strategies with Saran Wraps
Following the extensive advice will help you pack necklaces using saran wrap even if you are thinking about specific safety measures to guarantee the packing result.
Get ready by: Usually more reasonably priced, we could get traditional saran wrap online or through a supermarket group buy.
Refine the necklace. Before packing, make sure the necklace is absolutely clean; this will assist to remove any marks from daily wear, thereby avoiding harmful effects during later storage.
Sort the necklace as follows. After laying the necklace flat on a pristine surface, cover it completely with saran wrap. Starting from one end, softly stretch the saran wrap to tightly cling to the surface of the necklace, avoiding wrinkles as much as possible, since they could let air in or cause the necklace to be set unevenly. Starting a part, find the spot with the built-in saran wrap; then, keep extending until the entire necklace is covered.
Get the envelope close by. Use the pre-cut tear notch on the saran wrap, pokes a small hole with your thumb, gently extends, tears open one end of the saran wrap, then softly wraps the torn end back around the necklace to ensure the package is wrapped correctly overall.
Examine the packaging. At final, carefully inspect whether the necklace is tightly covered in saran wrap without any too strong or slack wrinkles.
Use saran wrap while considering these points of view. First, avoid direct touch with gold jewelry; second, make sure the necklace is completely dry before packaging; also, avoid overstretch the saran wrap since it may distort the necklace in a humid climate. It is essential to seal the necklace for storage to avoid contact with oxygen in the air and routinely check the seal and integrity of the saran wrap to ensure the necklace is not damaged during transit and storage should the necklace be made of gold or another metal that oxidizes easily.
Third jewelry box covered with bubble wrap with enclosing
While packing necklaces, pay particular attention to various safety issues even if bubble wrap and jewelry boxes serve to ensure complete protection during transit.
Go for a suitable jewelry box. Select a jewelry box with form and size that complement the necklace. If the necklace is long with delicate pendants, for instance, choose a longer, more roomy jewelry box to ensure it can totally fit the necklace and ideally have extra space for other matching jewelry or small accessories.
Once you selected the jewelry box, bubble wrap the necklace. Make several layers of bubble wrap, center the necklace in the jewelry box, and gently cover it such that the bubble wrap covers every edge totally. Bubble wrap acts as a cushion to protect the necklace from vibrations and outside shocks while you are traveling. If the necklace is long, gently coil it around soft padding or foam before bubble-wrap wrapping to provide adequate covering of every component.
Any necklace gaps will be covered by polystyrene foam buffering particles, so the necklace will be more stable and safe during shipping. After distributing some at the bottom, top the wrapped jewelry box and cover the whole box with extra filler for larger jewelry boxes. Excellent cushioning and protection against predicted vibrations and shocks in movement are provided by these buffering particles.
secure packing elements: Strong shipping tape will let you to fasten the package components so that the shipment box won't open by mistake on path. Check whether the tape can withstand the created transportation-related pressure. If it is a hinged lid wooden, ceramic, or porcelain jewelry box, place a bubble membrane somewhat larger than the lid inside to prevent the lid from rattling during transportation, then wrap the whole jewelry box with bubble membrane and tightly secure it with clear tape to guarantee no part can easily open.
Moreover, avoid packing small plastic or paper jewelry boxes in paper envelopes even if they are bubble wrapped since paper envelopes are too thin and run the risk of breaking the jewelry box, therefore compromising the safety of the necklace.
Seeking for space for packing
Hanging storage lets one load longer neckslaces really nicely. Get some sealable bags and place a piece of cardboard or hook inside. Choose a suitable piece of cardboard, trim it to suit the sealable bag, then fasten a little hook at one end of the cardboard—or use a small object with a hook straight ahead. After that, shut the bag to prevent the long necklace from tangle inside the bag on route and hang it on this hook. Long necklaces with pendants or intricate designs are especially fit for this hanging storage method; it will be easy for us to find and use later; hence, we can avoid tangling and knotting problems, so providing great convenience for the storage and organization of necklaces during the relocation.
Three: Methods of Classification for Neckwear and Storage Techniques; Extra Safety Measures
Classes and Methodologies for Storage
More practicable later transportation and recovery will be made possible by appropriate storage and classification of jewelry.
Generally speaking, type can help one classify metal necklaces (gold, platinum, K-gold, etc., gemstone necklaces, pearl necklaces, and other materials (wood, crystal, etc.). Every major category further separated depending on the materials; for example, separate gold necklaces, platinum necklaces, etc.; gemstone necklaces can be categorized depending on the type of gemstone, such diamond necklaces, emerald necklaces, etc.
