SOS Packing Water Fire Smoke Soot Mold Damage Books, Manuscripts, Documents and Files X-Rays

Restoration of water damaged paper and water damaged documents and water damaged books should be packed in heavy duty vinyl milk crates, if available. (Heavy duty cardboard boxes, approx. 18"x12"x10", lined with plastic garbage bags are an acceptable alternative for water damaged books and water damaged documents.)
Restoration packing for water damaged leather books and water damaged documents alternating spine up and spine down. This proven packing method minimizes cockling.
Restoration water damaged books and water damaged vellum documents and water damaged file folders should be packed upright as if they were in a file drawer.
Restoration of oversized water damaged paper documents and water damaged leather books can be packed flat with other items of similar size.
Interleaf water damaged documents and water damaged leather books only if colors are bleeding or migrating. This usually happens with red or blue cloth bindings. Freezer paper, butcher paper, or deli wrap sheets are all suitable for this use. To save time interleaf every other volume.
Pack all water damaged books and water damaged documents tightly within the confines of the box but never force a volume into place.

Restoration of water damaged leather books and water damaged paper documents, comic books should be frozen as quickly as possible.
