Moving important papers(etc) halfway across the country
UniAce | May 28 2006
Hi all, I'll be driving a U-Haul the whole 2,000 miles, maybe making it like a 3-day trip. My concern is that I may be driving through some rain on the way, or at least a bunch of moisture overnight, and the U-Haul will be far from airtight, I'm sure. So what are some good ways to try and protect my most important paper artifacts from the moisture (and temp cahnges? will be driving thru desert after all)? I've got two big plastic rubbermaid storage bins, but they're not airtight. I have too many papers to, say, put them all in big ziploc bags. Maybe airtight's not the answer anyway? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! 7 Comments

 A trick I use for packing booksSubmitted by Laura M. on May 28, 2006 - 11:55pm.
Maybe this could help: when I pack books in a suitcase, I wrap them in cling film. Keeps them from opening and getting all wrinkled and protects them from spills. I guess you could do stashes of papers and wrap them tightly in cling film and then put them into the plastic boxes. You can bundle papers together according to subject and since the film is transparent you know what's in each bundle. You can get a giant roll of cling film in Sam's Club or a similar store. » POSTED IN:
