AXIUM PACKAGING Secures Legacy: Protecting Collectors' Treasures with Custom Packaging for 2007 Proof Sets
New Albany, OH – October 26, 2023 – AXIUM PACKAGING LLC, a leading provider of custom packaging solutions, is thrilled to have played a vital role in preserving a piece of numismatic history – the 2007 United States Mint Proof Set. Located at 9005 Smiths Mill Rd, New Albany, OH, 43054-6650, and reachable at 773-588-5044, AXIUM specializes in crafting protective and visually appealing packaging for a wide range of valuable collectibles – and the 2007 Proof Set is a prime example of that commitment. For coin collectors, the annual Proof Set represents the pinnacle of minting artistry. These coins aren’t meant for circulation; they’re struck with special care, using highly polished dies, resulting in a mirror-like finish and sharp details. Preserving this pristine condition is crucial, and that’s where AXIUM PACKAGING comes in. “We don’t just make boxes,” explains a representative from AXIUM. “We engineer preservation. The 2007 Proof Set is a beautiful collection, and we knew right from the start that the packaging needed to reflect that quality while, more importantly, protect it for decades to come." Understanding the Challenge: Protecting a Collector's Investment The 2007 Proof Set, like all Proof Sets, is susceptible to several threats. Tarnish, scratches, and even environmental factors like humidity can diminish the value and beauty of these coins. Standard packaging simply wouldn’t cut it. The challenge wasn’t just about containing the coins; it was about creating a microclimate that would prevent degradation. AXIUM PACKAGING’s team worked closely with the U.S. Mint to develop a bespoke solution. The packaging for the 2007 Proof Set isn’t just cardboard and plastic; it’s a carefully considered layering of materials, each with a specific purpose. The AXIUM Solution: Layers of Protection for Lasting Value So, what exactly went into protecting those shiny 2007 Proof coins? Here’s a breakdown of the key elements: Durable Outer Box: The outer box isn't just about aesthetics. It's constructed from robust, high-quality cardboard designed to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. This protects the delicate contents from crushing and impact damage. It’s not flimsy; it’s built to last. Custom-Fitted Interior: Inside, the coins aren't just tossed around. Each coin is held securely in a custom-molded insert. This prevents the coins from shifting during transport and eliminates the risk of scratches or abrasions. Think of it like a tiny, individual cradle for each coin. Archival-Quality Plastic Capsules: This is where the real preservation magic happens. Each coin is encapsulated in a crystal-clear, archival-quality plastic capsule. This isn’t your everyday plastic; it’s specifically formulated to be inert and non-reactive, meaning it won’t leach chemicals onto the coin or contribute to tarnishing. It creates a barrier against air, moisture, and contaminants. Acid-Free Paper Inserts: Even the paper elements within the packaging were carefully selected. AXIUM used acid-free paper inserts to display information about the set and each coin. Acid-free paper won’t yellow or degrade over time, ensuring that the presentation remains pristine. Secure Closure: The box features a secure closure mechanism, ensuring that the contents remain safely contained, even during rough handling. No one wants a collection spilling out during shipping! Beyond Protection: Showcasing the Collection While preservation was paramount, AXIUM also recognized the importance of presentation. The packaging for the 2007 Proof Set isn't just functional; it's visually appealing. The box features a professional design that highlights the beauty of the collection. "Collectors appreciate quality," says the AXIUM representative. "They want packaging that not only protects their investment but also enhances the overall experience. We aimed for a design that was both elegant and informative."
