How to Pack Fragile Items Like a Pro

[moving service]

Packing fragile items requires extra care and attention to prevent damage. Here’s a guide to help you pack fragile items like a pro:

1. Gather the Right Supplies

• High-quality boxes (new if possible, as old boxes may weaken over time).
• Bubble wrap for padding delicate items.
• Packing paper for wrapping (avoid newspaper for items that stain easily).
• Packing peanuts to fill in gaps and prevent items from shifting.
• Sturdy tape to seal boxes securely.
• Markers for labeling boxes as “Fragile.”

2. Prepare the Box

• Reinforce the bottom of the box with extra tape to prevent it from falling apart.
• Line the box with a layer of bubble wrap or packing peanuts for added cushioning.

3. Wrap Each Item Individually

• Wrap each fragile item in bubble wrap or packing paper, covering it fully to avoid direct contact with other objects.
• For glassware or small items, use a double layer of bubble wrap.

4. Use Dividers for Dishes and Glasses

• Consider using cardboard dividers in boxes with multiple fragile items, especially glasses and dishes. These keep items separated, preventing them from hitting each other.

5. Layer Items Carefully

• Place heavier, sturdier items at the bottom of the box and lighter, more delicate items on top.
• Add packing peanuts or crushed paper between layers to minimize movement.

6. Fill in Gaps

• Fill empty spaces in the box with packing peanuts, paper, or cloth to prevent items from shifting.

7. Seal and Label the Box

• Use heavy-duty tape to securely seal the box.
• Label it as “Fragile” on multiple sides so movers know to handle it with care. You may also want to mark "This Side Up" if it contains items that should remain upright.

8. Pack Strategically

• Pack fragile boxes on top or in a secure location in your moving vehicle, away from heavy items that could crush them.

With these steps, your fragile items will be well-protected and more likely to arrive at their destination intact!
