Recently, AXIUM PACKAGING partnered with a major numismatic distributor to create specialized packaging for 2007 Proof Sets. These sets, which contain beautifully struck proof versions of that year’s coinage, are prized by collectors. But keeping them in pristine condition requires more than just the original government packaging. That's where we stepped in. “These proof sets are special,” explains a representative from AXIUM PACKAGING. “They’re not everyday coins. Collectors want to preserve them for generations, and the packaging plays a huge role in that. The original packaging is… okay. But it’s not designed for long-term storage or protection against all the elements." The Challenge: Protecting a Collector's Investment The biggest problem? The original packaging, while functional, lacked the rigidity and protection needed to withstand handling and environmental factors over the years. Collectors were reporting issues with scratching, tarnishing, and even damage to the sets during storage. The distributor needed a solution that would: Enhance Protection: Shield the coins from scratches, fingerprints, and environmental damage (humidity, temperature fluctuations). Improve Presentation: Offer a more sophisticated and appealing presentation for display and resale. Maintain Value: Help preserve the collector’s investment by keeping the set in the best possible condition. Streamline Handling: Make the sets easier to store and handle without risking damage. AXIUM PACKAGING’s Solution: Custom-Designed Boxes After careful consideration of the collector’s needs and the characteristics of the 2007 Proof Sets, AXIUM PACKAGING designed and manufactured custom boxes that address all these concerns. Here’s what we came up with: Durable Construction: The boxes are made from high-quality, rigid cardboard, providing a sturdy and protective shell for the set. This isn’t flimsy stuff - it’s built to last. Custom-Fitted Interior: The interior of the box is precisely designed to hold the 2007 Proof Set securely, preventing it from shifting or rattling during transport or storage. We used foam inserts cut to the exact dimensions of the set and the original packaging. Protective Lining: The interior is lined with a soft, archival-quality material. This material not only cushions the set but also prevents any potential damage from abrasion or chemical reactions. It’s designed to not interact with the coins at all. Sleek Design: The boxes feature a clean, minimalist design that complements the beauty of the proof sets. We worked with the distributor to incorporate their branding, creating a professional and recognizable presentation. Easy Access: The box is designed for easy opening and closing, making it simple for collectors to access their sets without damaging the packaging or the coins inside. We didn't want a complicated system, just something that works. UV Protection: We added a UV coating to the exterior of the box, protecting the set from fading due to sunlight exposure. This is super important for long-term preservation. What Collectors Are Saying The response to the new packaging has been overwhelmingly positive. Collectors are thrilled with the added protection and enhanced presentation. "I've been collecting proof sets for years, and this new packaging is a game-changer,” says one enthusiast. “It gives me peace of mind knowing my investment is well-protected, and the box itself looks fantastic on my shelf.” Another collector commented, “I was worried about my 2007 Proof Set getting damaged over time. This box solves that problem perfectly. It’s solid, well-made, and looks great. I’m definitely going to be looking for this packaging for other sets."
