Packing fragile items can be nerve-wracking. No one wants to unpack shattered glassware or broken electronics. Follow these expert tips from Express San Antonio Movers to ensure your valuables arrive safely.
1. Gather the Right Packing Materials
- Sturdy cardboard boxes
- Bubble wrap and packing paper
- Packing tape
- Foam peanuts or towels for extra cushioning
2. Wrap Items Individually
Never place glassware or fragile items directly in a box without wrapping. Use bubble wrap or packing paper around each item before placing them in boxes.
3. Use the Right Box Sizes
Heavy, fragile items like dishes should go in smaller boxes, while lightweight items like lampshades can be packed in larger boxes.
4. Pack Plates & Glasses Vertically
Instead of stacking plates and glasses flat, place them vertically like records. This reduces pressure and lowers the risk of breakage.
5. Fill Empty Spaces
Use crumpled paper, foam peanuts, or towels to prevent shifting inside boxes.
6. Label Boxes as ‘Fragile’
Clearly mark boxes containing delicate items so movers handle them with extra care.
7. Consider Professional Packing Services
For high-value or sentimental items, professional packing services can ensure maximum protection.
With these strategies, you can safeguard your fragile belongings and enjoy a worry-free move. Need expert packing assistance? Express San Antonio Movers is here to help!
