This discussion includes input from packing experts from three major museums and two highly respected Fine Art service companies.<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>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.<br><br>Also included - a survey of alternative non-wood crates that are currently in use. Their advantages and limitations will be discussed.<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>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.<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>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.<br><br>What about a proven system for moving collections that uses no boxes and no crates all? Find out more at this workshop.<br><br>Finally discover how re-purposed commercial packaging systems may come to your institutions rescue in a disaster situation.
