Secure Storage for Film and Production Companies

The film, TV and advertising industries are highly dynamic. Every project calls for new sets, costumes, lighting systems and all kinds of equipment. And when the project is over, where to put all this equipment becomes a big question mark.

Some film studios or offices overflow with items that will sit idle for a long time, leading to both a lack of space and a loss of organization. On top of that, the possibility of costly equipment breaking or going missing is a significant risk factor.

This is where storage for film and production companies comes in. The goal is to keep your set materials in secure, organized, climate-controlled environments for the short or long term, and to let you get them back quickly whenever your project requires.

Troy Depo delivers a storage experience to the highest standards. That way, we keep your belongings in the same condition as on day one, even over long periods. Whenever you need them, you can retrieve everything in good order, from your delicate camera gear to your costumes.

Why Do Film and Production Companies Need Storage?

The materials used on film and TV sets are highly varied. Costumes, sets, props, lighting and sound equipment, camera gear and many other items sit idle after a project. Keeping these materials in professional storage facilities rather than a random storeroom ensures a longer service life and convenience.

Lack of Space and Constantly Changing Projects

• Seasonal or Project-Based Use: Commercial shoots, TV seasons and feature films create material needs at different times. This equipment may sit on the sidelines until your next project.
• The Need for a Permanent Solution: Creating a storage area inside the office can be both costly and inadequate. In addition, professional solutions are important for keeping costumes and sets clean and organized.

Security and Risk of Damage

• Valuable Camera Gear: Cameras, lenses and lighting systems are usually expensive. Leaving these items lying around increases the risk of theft or damage.
• Delicate Costumes and Sets: Unprofessional storage conditions can cause costumes to fade or set pieces to break. Climate-controlled environments minimize fluctuations in humidity and temperature.

Production Materials That Can Be Stored and Key Points

Storage for film and production companies accepts almost all set equipment. However, hazardous items such as flammable or explosive materials are prohibited in most storage facilities. On the other hand, valuable set materials may require an extra insurance option.

Costumes and Textiles

• Precautions Against Moisture and Odor: Costumes, covers, curtains and similar textiles are quickly damaged in damp or dusty environments. Vacuum bags, fiber-padded boxes or hanging systems should be preferred.
• Cleaning and Folding: Valuable costumes should be stored washed and dry. Adding a label or catalog number makes them easier to find when needed.

Set Pieces and Props

• Oversized Pieces: During the move, these should be protected against impacts with moving and packing services. The width and height of the storage space matter.
• Fragile Objects: Glass, porcelain or delicate sculptures should be wrapped in special foam, Styrofoam or bubble wrap and marked with a "fragile" label.

Camera, Lighting and Electronic Equipment

• Humidity Control: Electronic devices are affected by dampness and temperature fluctuations. That's why climate-controlled facilities are preferred.
• Boxing Cables and Parts Separately: To avoid confusion during a project, it's wise to label cables and box adapters and small parts separately.

What to Choose Alongside Storage

Storing belongings is not just about renting a storage unit. Factors such as the move itself, insurance and the contract are also very important.

Moving and Packing Service

• Saving Time and Effort: Risks increase if large lighting systems or delicate cameras are moved by amateurs. A professional team ensures a fast and well-protected move with the right packing methods.
• Protection Against Breakage and Impact: Special boxes, bubble wrap and Styrofoam supports reduce the chance of delicate devices getting scratched or damaged.

Insured Storage: Protection Against Unexpected Risks

• Unexpected Situations: Unexpected situations can arise in any line of business. In professional work, the expectation is that these risks are anticipated and prevented.
• Production Costs: Camera gear, set materials or costumes can be expensive; insurance significantly prevents financial loss.
