How, Where To Store Completed Puzzles

What To Do With Your Completed Puzzles

Storage for Jigsaw Puzzles

What to do with all those assembled and glued jigsaw puzzles? That question is asked a lot but more often than not, it does not get answered. Well the most likely answer is, sadly, they end up in the recycle bin. Maybe some survive on another owner ’ s wall for an extended length of time. Maybe some end up in Thrift stores or yard sales. We puzzlers hate to think the worst - dump :(

But while we still have them in our possession, we need some kind of storage for them. There are big suitcase-type puzzle boards that can store more than a few but then you cannot use the board for puzzling.

I have seen some pretty nice extra large ‘ mail-slot-type ’ custom made wood

units that store puzzles quite well.

However, if these are not an option, you may also stack your completed puzzles between poster boards inserted into large plastic bags. Tightly sealing and taping the bags makes them safer to store under beds and inside closets for future use, especially the ‘ seasonal’ jigsaw puzzles.

Furniture stores have big boxes that can be cut to perfect storage size or puzzle boards. That’ s how I moved my puzzles across the country. I sandwiched all my puzzles between two large pieces of sturdy furniture boxes. Then I completely surrounded it with large plastic bags and then used wide clear packing tape all around the outside to secure it. Worked perfectly!
