Keeping Your Christmas Ornaments Safe Year Round

Posted by M & M Box Partitions Co. on December 18, 2013 12:00 am

The holiday season is upon us and that means it is time to dust off the Christmas ornaments and start decking the halls! While this is a joyous time of year, nothing is more frustrating than going up to attic, opening that box marked “X-Mas Stuff” only to find your treasured family ornaments broken or crushed. For many people, ornaments are more than just decorations, they are family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation.

One great way to keep your ornaments safe is by properly packing them when not in use. M & M Box’s line of box partitions and layer pads can really be helpful for these situations. They are made from strong and long-lasting fiberboard or corrugated strips that are cut, slotted, and assembled to form protective cells. These cells can range in size from ¼” to 60” in length and width, and 5/8” to 24” in height. To add even more safety for precious ornaments, we also suggest our custom poly coated layer pads.

In the end, in addition to utilizing the right packaging materials, the key is make sure that you take extra time to carefully pack and store your ornaments each year. Make sure not to force too many items into a box, avoid placing other boxes, no matter how light, on top of the box, and store them in a temperature-controlled environment.

We hope that these tips will help keep your Christmas ornaments safe the whole year ‘round.

Happy Holidays from everyone at M & M Box!
