– Cover with waterproof nylon: use nylon bags to pack each book or magazine and seal the mouth, or wrap each volume individually with specialized nylon types.

– Wrap wire or tape around the files or packages to prevent them from being moved, crumpled, or dirty during the transportation.

– Cover the outside with packaging materials such as cartons, sacks, or other nylon materials and seal with tape.
