When choosing a box for the Wrap method, make sure that it provides at least 3″-4″ (7.5-10 cm for my metric readers) of room between the wrapped item and the edge of the box. Sometimes people interpret the advice to “have 3 inches around the item” as meaning “around the unwrapped item”, forgetting that the wrapping itself is likely to take up at least 1″ of space, especially if it’s the large-bubble wrap. Starting with 3″ of space from the figurine alone could end up leaving less than 2″ for the other protective material…not optimal. So when using this method, wrap first and select the box second.

When you are moving fragile items from one residence to another it’s always advisable to NOT trust them to the “tender mercies” of a moving company if at all possible…. even if you need to accomplish that by renting a small cargo van (or better yet, a minivan with the rear seats removed if needed, for an even smoother ride) to pack up, drive, and unload yourself.

A floating home need not be sea-ready, but it is just what its name suggests: a home that floats (mainly on a dock). The definition of a floating home is one that is permanently moored and cannot move under its own power, unlike a houseboat. If you’ve been considering making the move to a floating home in the near future, read on to learn more about the pros and cons associated with this style of homeownership, to see if it’s right for you.

Now here’s where things get a little tricky. Tax rules vary widely from state to state, county to county, or even lake to lake, so it’s wise to do plenty of research before deciding to buy that quarter million-dollar floating home. In Nevada, for example, houseboats and floating homes aren’t subject to property taxes since the State believes you pay enough for the sale (there’s heavy sales tax on houseboats and floating homes) and anchoring space on the dock.

If you want to make sure that your Coroplast signs stay looking bright and new for years of use, there are a few tips that you should follow for keeping your sign in top condition.

Like any material, the lifespan of your Coroplast display depends on the conditions it is subjected to. When displayed outdoors in normal conditions, Coroplast will normally last about a year before it may begin to show a bit of warping or discoloration. When laminated with a matte finish for extra protection, a coroplast sign will look its best for longer. Coroplast can last virtually forever when kept indoors and not subjected to much wear and tear. more

Polypropylene, often abbreviated PP or referred to as a #5 plastic, is a thermoplastic polymer that is incredibly stable. Polypropylene is ideal for Coroplast projects because it is chemically inert and has a neutral pH — that means that it can be exposed to heat, cold, chemicals, and solvents without degrading. Furthermore, polypropylene is chemically stable enough that it can be mixed with additives to give the resulting material special properties, like flame retardancy, UV-protection, static resistance, or bright custom colors.
