When it comes to moving, fragile items are the ones that cause the most worry — and for good reason. Without proper packing, valuables like glassware, electronics, and ornaments can be damaged in transit. Here’s how to keep them safe:
✅ Do’s:
1. Use the Right Materials
Bubble wrap, packing paper, and double-walled boxes are your best friends. Don’t forget packing tape and labels.
2. Wrap Items Individually
Wrap each item separately and cushion the spaces between them with crumpled paper or soft material.
3. Label Boxes Clearly
Use bold “FRAGILE” labels on all sides of the box — not just the top.
4. Pack by Weight and Type
Put heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Don’t mix glass with metal.
5. Use the Right-Sized Box
Avoid overpacking. Use smaller boxes for fragile items so they don’t shift around.
❌ Don’ts:
1. Don’t Use Newspaper for Glassware
It can leave ink stains. Use plain packing paper or bubble wrap instead.
2. Don’t Leave Gaps Inside Boxes
Gaps = movement = risk. Fill all empty space securely.
3. Don’t Rush It
Fragile packing takes time — slow and steady wins the move.
4. Don’t Stack Fragile Boxes Under Heavier Ones
Always keep them on top during loading.
