How to store customized EVA flowers?

Hey there! If you're into custom EVA flowers like I am, you know how important it is to store them properly. As a supplier of EVA flower customization, I've seen my fair share of beautiful creations, and I want to make sure they stay in top - notch condition for as long as possible. In this blog, I'll share some tips on how to store your customized EVA flowers.

Why Proper Storage Matters

First off, let's talk about why storing your EVA flowers correctly is a big deal. EVA, or ethylene - vinyl acetate, is a flexible and durable material, but it can still be affected by the environment. If you don't store your flowers right, they might get damaged, lose their shape, or fade over time. And let's face it, you don't want all that hard work and creativity to go to waste.

Clean Before Storage

Before you even think about putting your EVA flowers away, make sure they're clean. Dust and dirt can build up on the flowers, especially if they've been on display. You can use a soft, dry brush to gently remove any loose debris. If there are some stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Just be careful not to soak the flowers too much, as excessive moisture can damage the EVA material. After cleaning, let the flowers dry completely. You can lay them out on a clean towel or a drying rack. Make sure they're in a well - ventilated area. This might take a few hours, depending on the size and thickness of the flowers.

Choose the Right Container

Now, let's move on to finding the right container for storage. You've got a few options here.

Plastic Storage Bins

Plastic storage bins are a popular choice. They're affordable, come in various sizes, and can protect your flowers from dust and pests. Look for bins that are made of sturdy plastic. Clear bins are great because you can easily see what's inside without having to open them. Make sure the bins have tight - fitting lids to keep out dust and moisture.

Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes can also work, especially if you're on a budget. But they're not as durable as plastic bins and can be more prone to damage from moisture. If you choose cardboard boxes, line them with plastic wrap or a plastic liner to add an extra layer of protection. You can also use acid - free tissue paper to cushion the flowers inside the box.

Protect the Shape

One of the biggest challenges when storing EVA flowers is maintaining their shape. These flowers are often customized to have unique curves and petals, and you don't want them to get squished.

Use Separation Materials

You can use pieces of foam, bubble wrap, or even old newspaper to separate the flowers. Place these materials between the layers of flowers to prevent them from pressing against each other. This will help keep the petals and leaves in their original shape.

Avoid Overcrowding

Don't try to stuff too many flowers into one container. Overcrowding can cause the flowers to get misshapen. If you have a large collection of EVA flowers, consider using multiple containers or dividing them into smaller groups.

Control the Environment

The environment where you store your EVA flowers plays a crucial role in their longevity.

Temperature

EVA flowers are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them in areas that are too hot or too cold. A room - temperature environment is ideal. If you live in an area with extreme temperature changes, consider storing the flowers in a climate - controlled storage unit.

Humidity

High humidity can cause the EVA material to warp or develop mold. Try to keep the storage area dry. You can use a dehumidifier if the humidity levels are consistently high. On the other hand, very low humidity can make the EVA material brittle. Aim for a moderate humidity level, around 40 - 60%.

Light

Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colors of your EVA flowers to fade. Store the flowers in a dark or dimly lit area. If you're using clear plastic bins, you can cover them with a cloth to block out the light.

Different Types of Customized EVA Flowers and Their Storage

Let's take a look at how to store some specific types of customized EVA flowers.

Foam Flowers Marigold

Foam Flowers Marigold are often used for decorative purposes. These flowers have delicate petals, so it's important to handle them gently. When storing them, place them in a container with plenty of cushioning. You can use cotton balls or soft foam to support the petals and prevent them from bending or breaking.

Large Outdoor EVA Simulation Daisy Decoration Props

Large Outdoor EVA Simulation Daisy Decoration Props are bigger in size and are designed for outdoor use. However, when not in use, you still need to store them properly. Since they're large, you might need a bigger container. Make sure the container is big enough to accommodate the flowers without squeezing them. You can also disassemble the props if possible to save space.

Giant Tulip EVA Paper Flower Props

Giant Tulip EVA Paper Flower Props have a unique shape. To store them, you can roll them gently and place them in a long, cylindrical container. This will help maintain their shape. If you don't have a cylindrical container, you can also lay them flat in a large box, but make sure to use plenty of padding to protect the petals.

Long - Term Storage Tips

If you're planning to store your EVA flowers for a long time, here are some additional tips.

Check on Them Regularly

Even if you've stored your flowers perfectly, it's a good idea to check on them every few months. Look for any signs of damage, such as mold, discoloration, or pests. If you notice any issues, take action immediately.

Update the Cushioning

Over time, the cushioning materials inside the container might compress or break down. Replace the cushioning every once in a while to ensure that the flowers are still well - protected.

Conclusion

Storing customized EVA flowers properly is essential to keep them looking beautiful for years to come. By following these tips on cleaning, choosing the right container, protecting the shape, and controlling the environment, you can ensure that your EVA flowers stay in great condition.
