Moving can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to protecting delicate belongings. At Y&O Moving Consulting Services LLC, we understand how important your fragile items are—whether it’s your grandmother’s china set, glassware, or valuable electronics. With the right packing techniques, you can keep them safe and arrive at your new home stress-free.
Why Fragile Packing Matters
Fragile items are the most at risk during long-distance moves. Without proper protection, vibrations, shifting boxes, and bumps on the road can easily cause damage. Investing a little extra time in packing them correctly can save you money, time, and heartache.
Step-by-Step Guide to Packing Fragile Items
1. Gather the Right Supplies
- Sturdy boxes (double-walled for extra protection)
- Bubble wrap and packing paper
- Packing peanuts or foam inserts
- Heavy-duty packing tape
- Fragile stickers or labels
2. Wrap Each Item Individually
Wrap glassware, dishes, and ceramics separately in bubble wrap or packing paper. Never stack unwrapped fragile items together.
3. Cushion the Bottom of the Box
Before placing anything inside, add a layer of packing peanuts, foam, or crumpled paper at the bottom of the box to absorb shock.
4. Place Heavier Items at the Bottom
Always start with heavier fragile items at the base and lighter ones on top. This prevents pressure and reduces the chance of breakage.
5. Fill Empty Spaces
Use packing peanuts or crumpled paper to fill gaps so items don’t shift while in transit.
6. Seal and Label Clearly
Close boxes with strong packing tape and label them “Fragile” and “This Side Up” for extra care during handling.
Extra Tips for a Safe Move
- Dishes: Pack vertically, like records, to avoid pressure cracks.
- Glasses: Stuff the inside with packing paper before wrapping.
- Electronics: Use original boxes if available, or wrap with bubble wrap and secure cords separately.
