    How to pack and move fragile items

    By Bailey N. | Top tips for moving to Beverly Hills | 0 comment | 5 July, 2019 | 0

    Fragile items are often a tricky point of each relocation. Even if movers want to handle them, there’s always the risk of damaging some of these items and losing a lot of money and valuable memories. That’s why it is best to pack and move fragile items by yourself. However, that’s not always easy. You need to learn how to do it properly and that’s why here are the main tips on how to pack and move fragile items without worrying about their safety during transport.

    Don’t pack and move fragile items in a hurry

    Since these are sensitive items, be sure to dedicate some time to pack them. Be careful with your breakables if you are packing in a hurry since packing them quickly usually leads to damaging them by accident.

    Gather all the necessary supplies

    For packing the items that break easily, you will need special, high-quality packing supplies. Here’s what you will need:

    • moving boxes – be sure to find sturdy, high-quality moving boxes. Also, think about the size. Maybe you don’t need boxes that are too big, because it’s not too safe to have a huge, heavy box with fragile items inside. Packing them in smaller groups is much safer.

    Be sure to have high-quality packing supplies so you can pack and move fragile items safely

    Prepare a special place for packing

    Dealing with fragile items require a special place to do it properly. Prepare a large table so you can safely lay out all the items and pack them with ease.

    Mix heavy and light items

    Don’t over pack the boxes and make them too heavy to carry. Instead, mix heavy and light items. Just be sure to put heavy items at the bottom, and lighter at the top of a box.

    Pack odd-shaped items alone

    If you have some items that have uneven shape, place them alone in a box. The safest way to protect them is to put a blanket on the bottom, and then put the item in the box. Furthermore, you can place a pillow, or several small pillows on top of the item, so it’s protected from jiggling.

    How to pack and move fragile items that are the most common

    Plates

    Plates and similar kitchen items are quite delicate. So, especially if you have expensive china, be sure to pack it properly. First of all, choose medium sized boxes. Then, put a piece of packing paper (crumple it beforehand) at the bottom of the box and place the plates vertically. Be sure to wrap each plate separately and don’t put too many plates in the box.

    Kitchen items like plates, glasses and cups are sometimes tricky to handle when moving

    Glasses/cups

    Apart from wrapping each glass separately be sure to put the crumpled paper between them, as well as between the box wall and glasses.

    Mirrors and frames

    If possible, find the box mirror or frame came in when you bought t. Also, be sure to wrap the items in wrapping paper, then wrap them with carton, and tape from all sides. Everything needs to be tight so it doesn’t move around.

    mirrors

    Mirrors and frames need special care when moving, so be sure to learn how to pack and move fragile items properly
