How to Pack Fragile Items:

Moving fragile items can be one of the most stressful parts of the moving process. From delicate glassware to valuable artwork, these items require extra care and attention to ensure they arrive at your new home safely. In this blog post, we'll share some tips and tricks for packing fragile items and making your move a success.

 

Use the Right Packing Materials:

One of the keys to packing fragile items is to pack them with the right materials. Start by gathering sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, lining paper, and markers. Avoid using newspaper or other printed materials, as ink can transfer and damage your items.

Wrap Items Individually:

For extra protection, wrap each fragile item individually in bubble wrap or packing paper. Start at the corners and work your way inwards, using tape to secure the wrap in place. For larger items, consider using a double layer of bubble wrap or adding extra padding.

Fill Empty Space:

Make sure there is no empty space in the box, as this can cause items to shift and break. Fill any gaps with packing peanuts, crumpled paper, or bubble wrap. You can also use towels or blankets for extra cushioning.

Label Boxes Clearly:

It's very important to label fragile items clearly, both for your own reference and for the movers. Use markers to label boxes as "fragile" or "handle with care," and indicate which side is up. This will help ensure that your items are handled appropriately during the move.

Consider Professional Packing Services:

If you have valuable or irreplaceable items, consider hiring professional packers to do the job for you. They have the experience and expertise to pack even the most delicate items safely and efficiently.
