How To Pack Souvenirs That Are Prone To Breaking

One of your goals when traveling is to find a souvenir that will embody all the things that your destination is all about. There are plenty of souvenirs out there but many of us would fall in love with the ones that are quite difficult to handle. After all, there is something in wine bottles and vintage plates that will surely attract you. But how do you pack such items? How would you protect it from breaking in-flight? Worry no more! Here are the tips that you need:

·         Check in Vs. Carry on.

This is the first decision (and the most important one at that) that you will ever have to make. When making a decision, it is important that you take into consideration the luggage policies that the airline or airplanes have. For sure, you would want to place your beloved souvenir near you all the time so you would choose to place it in your carry on. But if you will be bringing home a bottle of wine, it is a must that you check it in because that is not allowed in the plane.

·         Wrap it up.

In the event that you have decided to place it in your check in baggage, you have to make sure that it is well protected and a bubble wrap can give it the protection that it needs. This is a great way to protect all breakable items from wine bottles, ceramic bowls and anything breakable that you would want to bring home. Just make sure that your will secure the bubble wrap with plenty of tape.

·         Buy specialty containers.

Since fragile souvenir items have become quite popular, many souvenir shops now offer specialty containers where you can keep your fragile souvenirs. They now offer bubble wrap lined bags. Additionally, they also have inflatable travel pouches that you can buy at bookstores.

·         Place it right.

More than the container, the position of your souvenir is also important in keeping it intact. The best place for them would be in the middle of your suitcase. Place plenty of clothing below, on top and on the sides of it for best results.

Many travelers exert great time and effort in finding and looking for the perfect travel souvenir. And if luck would have it, the best souvenir that you will come across is something that is fragile and prone to breaking. Now that you have the best souvenir, your next challenge would be to pack it in a way that it will not break during the flight. The tips mentioned above will surely help you do that.
