Tips for Packing/Storing a Movie Collection for a Move?

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Sounds like you already have a good plan in place. My only other recommendation would be if you own any steelbooks, to wrap them individually in some bubble wrap or shipping paper. You'd be surprised how easily the can get dented inside of a box that is being shuffled around during a move. Also, I would add some cardboard flat on top and beneath the blu-rays/dvds. In case they get stacked at any point, this cardboard will help disperse weight across from end to end instead of the box putting a lot of pressure on the centre area.

There is no concern in storing them that long. I had to store all of my collection for 5 months during a restoration on our basement suite. I just loaded them all into about 7 or 8 of those large tupperware type storage bins (I forget their size). They each held about 50 or 60 titles each. They were just heavy enough to require effort while ensuring to bend my knees when lifting from the floor.
