It also includes an important crate and interior packing system from the past that just may be due for a modern resurgence, as well as examples of newer systems that “design-in” flexibility for reuse.
Also included - a survey of alternative non-wood crates that are currently in use. Their advantages and limitations will be discussed.
The utilization of non-art packing systems in the industrial sector which can be re-purposed for use in the transport of cultural property will be discussed, including the most proven and versatile system - commonly referred to as the Kiva system.
As well, recyclable alternatives to solid wood crates will be illustrated that draw upon examples published in CCI Notes, the National Park Service’s Conserv-O-Grams and the early classic packing reference “Way to go” published in 1985.
What about a proven system for moving collections that uses no boxes and no crates all? Find out more at this workshop.
Finally discover how re-purposed commercial packaging systems may come to your institutions rescue in a disaster situation. If you work in the Bay Area you already have this free resource available to you! If not, be on the look out as it may be coming to a city near you.
