Storing Your Flocked Tree Safely: Avoiding Damage and Protecting the Flock
1. Always remember to put this into the proper storage box. You will find that reusing the box that this tree came in is what most people do. However, if your box were to get damaged, then finding a plastic tote box that is meant for trees is a great alternative.
2. Many people opt to wrap their flocked tree with paper to ensure that the flocking stays intact. If you do this be sure to use packing paper, not newspaper, as you do not want any of the print ink to come off onto this flocking.
3. Ensure that this tree is stored in a location that is not going to see moisture or extreme heat. Heat is one of the ways that this flocking can easily turn yellow.
4. And most importantly, remember that you need to take this down the opposite way of putting this up to ensure that you do not break any branches.
Doing what you can to ensure that this tree is safe in storage is going to be the only way that you will get years of use from this tree.
