Putting Magazines, Books, and Other Media in Storage

Putting Magazines, Books, and Other Media in StorageBooks, magazines, and other media such as CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and video and cassette tapes deserve special attention during the storage process because they are very prone to damage caused by the environment. Pages are susceptible to yellowing and other media are harmed by humidity and dust. By taking some steps before storing your media you can thwart the damaging effects that would otherwise occur, making your North Phoenix self storage experience more enjoyable.Preserving Books and Magazines    * Separate magazines with a piece of plastic, wood, or strong cardboard to keep magazines from warping    * Seal books and magazines in plastic bags designed for archiving    * Consider renting a unit that utilizes climate control. As extreme temperatures are a major cause of damage for books and magazines, a few extra dollars in rent to keep your belongings between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit could save a slew of books and magazines from torrid temperatures    * If you stack books or magazines in a box, arrange the media so that the spines of books or media are switched from right to left in the stack to evenly distribute pressure    * Protect books by placing a piece of paper in the front cover of the book and wrapping that same piece of paper to cover the back of the book. This will prevent books from sticking
