Fragile items require special attention during a move to ensure they arrive at your new location intact. Here’s a guide to packing and moving delicate belongings safely:

  1. Use Appropriate Packing Materials: Invest in high-quality bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes specifically designed for fragile items.
  2. Wrap Each Item Individually: Cover each fragile item completely with bubble wrap or packing paper to provide cushioning and prevent scratches.
  3. Choose the Right Box Size: Use smaller boxes for heavy, fragile items to prevent them from shifting during transit.
  4. Pad the Bottom of the Box: Place a layer of crumpled packing paper or foam peanuts at the bottom of the box for added protection.
  5. Avoid Overpacking: Do not overload boxes; ensure there is enough padding between items to prevent them from touching each other.
  6. Label Boxes as ‘Fragile’: Clearly mark boxes containing delicate items to alert movers to handle them with extra care.
  7. Pack Dishes Vertically: Stack plates and bowls on their sides, like records, with padding in between to reduce the risk of breakage.
  8. Secure Loose Parts: For items with detachable parts, such as lamps, remove and pack components separately, wrapping each piece securely.
  9. Seal Boxes Properly: Use quality packing tape to seal all box seams, reinforcing the bottom and top for added security.
  10. Consider Professional Packing Services: For valuable or highly fragile items, hiring professionals can ensure they are packed using industry-standard techniques.
