Tips to pack the breakable and fragile items

For moving you have a lot of items to pack before the move. This can be very difficult especially if you have a lot of breakable and fragile items you need to bring with you.

Unlike clothes, you can simply fold and stack them inside a box, seal it with packaging tape,but for breakable valuables like your china collection or crystal figurines, you would need to invest more time packing them to make sure they are not smashed into tiny pieces during transit.

Materials you will need to pack before move:

  • Sturdy boxes
  • newspapers
  • Insurance papers
  • Bubble wraps
  • Packing tape
  • Markers
  • Packing peanuts
First of all place your breakables in a flat, clean surface. If they are big, then place them flat on the floor. Dust them with any soft cloth before packing.Make sure that there are no small debris that can cause scratches to the item and the bottom of the box is secure and sturdy. Place packaging tape check whether it would not open when lifted. Add a layer of cushion inside the box by layering the bottom with bubble wrap or news paper.
