Storage Unit Bedford: Perfect For Your Film Collection

If you are an avid film collector or, in this time of streaming, you simply don’t want to part with your film collection, our storage unit Bedford will be the perfect place to store it. Read on to find out more.

We are in a time where streaming films on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus etc. is the norm. But, that does not mean that people are not still interested in having an actual collection of DVDS, BluRays and sometimes even VHS tapes. We all watched as records came back into fashion. The same could happen for the good old VHS! And there are still many places that you can buy DVDs and BluRays like CeX Bedford and local charity shops,

It may be that your film collection is your hobby or that it means a lot to you. We completely understand but it can still be hard to come to terms with the amount of space it takes up in your home when you are watching more things via streaming platforms. This is where our storage will be a great help.

Within this article, we will look at how to properly store your film collection and why our storage is the best.

How To Store Your Film Collection

Before placing any of your film collection into storage, there are some things that you need to do first. Within this section, we will guide you through our top tips for storing your collection.

Catalogue Your DVDS

Before packing your collection for storage, it is a really good idea to catalogue all of your DVDs. This may lead you to finding hidden gems that you had forgotten about or films that you no longer want as part of your collection. These can be given away to local charity shops like Sue Ryder on Ampthill Road.

When it comes to cataloguing, alphabetically can be helpful but if you want to go all in you could do it by genre, year, country, director etc. Doing this will make it easier to find films if, after placing them in storage, you want to watch or need a film.

Clean Your DVDS

It is a good idea to clean anything you are placing into storage. With DVDs, you should be as gentle as possible. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and some isopropyl alcohol and wipe from the centre outwards, not in circles. This will prevent you from damaging the disk.

Pack Them Properly

When they are clean, you should pack them properly. You should pack them vertically as stacking them could cause them damage, particularly the ones at the bottom. You could place some bubble wrap or packing peanuts within the box for some extra cushioning.

Choose The Right Environment For Storage

DVDs are extremely sensitive to temperature and direct sunlight so you need to choose the right environment to store your collection. Exposure to UV light can cause disc rot which will leave your DVD unreadable. You need to choose an environment that is dark and cool. If you want to be extra cautious, you could use silica gel packs or dehumidifiers within your storage space.

“I have never previously used Self Storage, but Abbie explained everything clearly on the telephone and was very transparent with costs of storage at Bedford.

Abbie took the time to show me my unit ensuring I was happy with the size and condition of it and how to access it if we needed access outside of office hours which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this immaculate and professionally run Self Storage business.”
