The absolute greatest regret of self-packers and movers (or those served
by poor quality moving firms) is irreparable damage to personal
pictures, LP records, and family action motion video stored on DVD.
These things are simply irreplaceable and must be given special
attention during both your pack-out and physical move.
Pack each of these media types vertically (rather than flat). Gravity
and heat work together to threaten to warp electronic media and “weld”
photos together. This is actually a more important consideration for
every-day care than for during your move as warping usually happens
slowly over time. This is never an issue for us. We always pack and
transport treasured items in center position. Boxes in center position
are surrounded on all sides and benefit from protective insulation. You
should use this same technique when you personally transport treasured
items.
