Use the right type of box: Prep your box with a layer of packaging material on the bottom such as unprinted news wrap. For example, you can use glass and dish pack kit for packing kitchen fragile utensils. These boxes can better absorb the shock of sudden moves during transportation. Pack costly items in smaller separate boxes.
Cushioning is important: Firstly, wrap the delicate item in one layer of paper, and then with bubble wrap. You can secure the packing of larger items such as a TV set or expensive fragile item by filling void spaces using packing peanuts.
Use packing tape and label it: Use permanent box markers to mark boxes having delicate goods with inventory type and caution tips. Group thinner pieces such as mirrors, frames, etc. together, and separate them with layers of bubble wrap. Apply a star pattern of masking tape over boxes containing these items. Protect the corners of the boxes with foam corner protectors.
Packing fragile items requires care, patience and time. Never pack breakables in hurry; otherwise you’ll end up with damaging these items after your move.
