I recently moved across the country and had to pack up all my craft supplies. I thought it might be interesting to share the packing methods I used.
I bundled up my copic markers with rubber bands and then placed them inside gallon Ziploc bags, just in case any ink got out. I have a decent amount of markers and they all fit inside only 2 bags. This kept them organized in color families and it was really easy to have them all packed in just those 2 bags.
For my stamps and dies, I bundled them in small chunks and held them together with rubber bands as well. The dies that match stamps are already on magnetic sheets so they probably wouldn’t have moved around much but this made them extra secure.
I took all the stamp/die bundles and the bags of markers and put them inside a big piece of luggage. I used the zippers and clasps to hold them together as tight as I could. It was stuffed full and VERY heavy but everything fit. I consider these items to be one of the most valuable things I own because it took years to build the collection and it would be nearly impossible to replace a lot of the retired sets I have. So I wanted to pack them in a way where they could travel with me, and this worked perfectly.
I do have my standalone dies on large magnetic sheets and those remained inside their wood organizer and got packed in a regular box. The smaller items like embellishments and adhesive got packed in small boxes that went into larger boxes, and I used packing paper to keep everything tightly packed so it wouldn’t shift around. And everything else just got packed in regular boxes.
Everything arrived in perfect condition and it was pretty easy to unpack since things were well organized, so I would definitely recommend these methods and would use them again myself.
