How to Store a Custom Medal with a Velvet Box
Storing your custom medal properly ensures it remains in pristine condition for years to come. Whether it’s a sports achievement, a military honor, or a commemorative award, proper storage is essential. Follow these tips to keep your medal looking its best.
Use a Velvet Box for Protection
First and foremost, always store your custom medal in a velvet box. Velvet boxes are not only elegant but also provide a soft, cushioned environment that protects the medal from scratches and other damage. The velvet lining helps to absorb any moisture, preventing tarnish and corrosion.
Clean Your Medal Before Storage
Before placing your medal in the velvet box, clean it gently with a soft cloth. This step removes any dust or oils that might have accumulated. For medals with intricate designs or delicate features, consider using a microfiber cloth to avoid any potential scratches.
Choose the Right Storage Location
Next, choose a location for your velvet box that is cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat and humidity can damage the medal over time, causing discoloration and weakening the material. A dark, climate-controlled environment, such as a closet or a drawer, works well.
Avoid Pressure and Weight
Moreover, avoid stacking heavy items on top of the velvet box. Even though the box is designed to protect the medal, excessive weight can cause the box to collapse or deform, potentially damaging the medal inside. Always store the box in a way that it stands alone, free from any pressure.
Display Options for Your Medal
If you plan to display your custom medal, consider a display case designed for medals with velvet backing. These cases offer the same protection as a velvet box while allowing you to showcase your achievement. Ensure the display case is sealed to keep out dust and dirt.
Organize Multiple Medals
For those who have multiple medals, organization is key. Arrange your medals in a way that prevents them from touching each other. Overlapping medals can cause scratches and other damage. Use individual velvet boxes or a larger display case with separate compartments for each medal.
Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Furthermore, regularly inspect your medals to ensure they remain in good condition. Check for signs of tarnish, scratches, or other damage. If you notice any issues, address them immediately to prevent further deterioration. For tarnished medals, use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for the material of your medal.
