Using appropriate storage
containers, supports, and mounts, for the storage of items is crucial to their
preservation and is an important aspect of preventive care. Storage containers provide
physical protection and support for items while they are in storage. However,
not all items require protection, but those that do will benefit greatly from
having it and their useful life will be extended significantly.
Often the best way to protect an
item in storage is to place it in a container. This will help keep it clean,
will keep fragments or other detached parts with the item, and depending on the
type of container, will protect the item from being broken as well as assist in
moving it from one place to another. Storage containers range greatly in
variety and include such enclosures depending on its use.
Storage containers can be custom
made to fit a specific item. Commercially available standard-sized storage
containers are adequate or can be modifies to fit a particular item. Selecting
the best type of container, support, or mount involves assessing the materials
from which the item is made; its construction, size, shape, and condition. The
availability of space for storage and the need for access to the item also
matter. Items should be stored only in containers that are sufficiently durable
to protect them. If containers are not sturdy, the items they contain may
become distorted or broken, or the container itself may become damaged or even
fall apart. Needlessly strong storage containers may also present problems,
adding necessary weight and bulk that can lead to handling and spatial
difficulties.
Talking about material, plastics
lend themselves will to constructing storage containers, but they vary greatly
in chemical stability and should be used knowledgeably. Some plastics are unstable
chemically and produce by-products as they deteriorate that accelerate the
breakdown. These should always be avoided, even though using them is tempting
due to their availability and affordability.
There have been terms used over
the years to imply that materials of storage containers must meet standards.
The terms however are not the best basis of strong materials. It is best to
base assessments on specific characteristics. With so many potential options in
storage containers perhaps the best thing to do is start looking at them to
determine what will most fit your storage needs.
