Artificial Christmas Tree Storage Ideas

There are several types of containers that you can store artificial Christmas trees in (besides the beat up box it came in that it never seems to fit properly back in). For instance, you can use an artificial Christmas tree storage bag.

♦This one to the left is from Organize.com. It's a Deluxe Titanium Collection Artificial Tree Storage Bag that holds up to a nine-foot artificial tree. Christmas tree storage bags are built long and sturdy to hold tall, heavy artificial trees. This one has a polyester shell and nylon zippers plus it has metal handles that help you to carry it.

♦Another option for artificial Christmas tree storage is a long, rectangular plastic container with a lid. If you're taking your artificial tree apart each year, a plastic container similar in rectangular shape and size to the box that the tree came in is a better storage option than the original box.  In fact, you might get a container that's a few inches bigger than the original box. The manufacturers who packed the tree in the original box have a well-learned probably automated process for getting the tree in the box just so without any extra space. But once you unpack the tree, you never can get it in exactly the same, which is why you can't comfortably close the lid again. So a plastic container slightly larger than the original box will solve this dilemma and keep you from having to crush your tree parts back into the box. The one pictured above is a Holiday Tree Storage Box from Stacks and Stacks.

♦Both options, the artificial tree storage bag or the rectangular plastic container keep dust, moisture and bugs out when sealed properly.

♦Both of the options above work well for typical full-size artificial Christmas trees. If you have miniature artificial Christmas trees, you might store them in smaller plastic containers. Some plastic totes are even deep enough to hold tiny miniature trees upright in them. However, if you do this, you still might add some packing material around the mini tree to keep it from tipping over and getting damaged when you move the tote.
