Hi,
I will be moving soon and know how I am going to pack most of my scrapbook items: paper in art bin containers, tape the front and back of sterilite drawer units, etc. However I have not clue how to pack my large WRMK albums. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Judy

Stand them on end, upright as if on your bookshelf. And make sure there's padding all around and on top and bottom. I moved during the summer, so I sat mine on winter jackets, but you'll probably be needing yours! They're super heavy when you get more than a few in a box, so either find smaller boxes or else pack lightweight stuff around them. Good luck with the move!

I've moved a lot in my (scrapping) life. I've moved across oceans, even.
I always pack my albums (I use WRMKs too) in Rubbermaid or Sterilite bins with lids. I do pack them laying horizontal, alternating the way I lay the album spines. They lay like triangles, all nested together. Then if there is wiggle room left, I pack bubble wrap in the open spaces, to prevent shifting.
I've moved 12x12s and 8,5x11s this way.
Make sure to use packing or duct tape to secure the lids by making a few wraps around the entire bin and lid.

I second the suggestion of using bins. We moved cross country and my albums were in something similar to a POD for a few months. I also threw in cedar balls just in case. Don't know if it actually did anything, but it made me feel better.
