How to Pack Fragile Items Like a Pro
Packing fragile items can be one of the most daunting tasks when preparing for a move.
At Hevligt Movers, we have the expertise to ensure your delicate belongings arrive safely at your new home.
In this blog post, we’ll share our top tips for packing fragile items like a pro.
1. Gather the Right Supplies
Before you start packing, make sure you have all the necessary supplies:
Sturdy boxes in various sizes
Packing paper
Bubble wrap
Packing peanuts
Packing tape
Markers for labeling
2. Wrap Each Item Individually
Wrap each fragile item individually with packing paper or bubble wrap. For extra protection, you can double-wrap particularly delicate items.
Ensure there are no exposed surfaces to prevent scratches or breaks.
3. Use Dividers for Glassware
For glassware and stemware, use dividers to keep each piece separate. Place a layer of packing paper or bubble wrap at the bottom of the box before adding the dividers.
Fill any empty spaces with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent movement.
4. Pack Plates Vertically
Pack plates vertically instead of stacking them flat. This reduces the risk of breakage. Wrap each plate in packing paper and place them on their edges in a sturdy box.
Use padding between each plate for added protection.
5. Label Boxes Clearly
Clearly label each box with its contents and mark it as “Fragile.” Indicate the room it belongs to and add arrows to show which side should be kept upright.
This ensures movers handle the boxes with the necessary care.
6. Fill Empty Spaces
Fill any empty spaces in the boxes with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent items from shifting during transit.
This added padding will absorb shocks and protect your fragile items.
By following these tips, you can pack your fragile items safely and confidently. At Hevligt Movers, we offer professional packing services to ensure your belongings are handled with care.
