Packing fragile items is one of the most difficult and complicated tasks in a move. It’s also one of the most important because the safety of your most fragile objects greatly depends on the packaging. We want to share our top tips for safely packaging fragile items.
You must organize your work before you start packing for Residential moving. Usually, we do this with lists. Let’s start.
What materials do I need for fragile items?
It is difficult to get down to work while also having to make a run for it to shop. We have prepared a list of all the packaging materials you will need.
- Pair of scissors
- Cutler
- Tape for the painter
- Seal
- Wrapping paper
- medium boxes
- bubble wrap
- Shaves or filler chips
- Packaging profiles
We are now ready to go once we have prepared all of the packing materials and the objects we will be storing. We have divided the types of fragile objects usually found in homes into two separate groups.
How to pack ceramics and glass
You need to consider several factors when packing your glasses and crystal glasses. These are the factors we list.
The dimensions and weight of the boxes
You can choose boxes based on what you intend to pack. The ideal size is medium. This type of material should not be heavy and easy to transport. You should place the boxes in a high enough that you can’t place anything else on top but not too high that you cannot see them at first glance. A label or marking indicating “Very Fragile must be visible.
Below are the heaviest
When stuffing your boxes leave the heaviest items at the bottom. These items are more durable and can be used as a base material for fragile materials that are more susceptible to breaking.
All the gaps must be filled
We must make sure that all holes are filled in so that delicate items can be protected. By doing this, we can prevent them from colliding or moving. This can be done with shavings or stuffing chippings. Or just crumpled packing paper into balls.
Put object separately
Each object can be packed in a separate box. Wrap each item using packing paper and cover with bubble wrap. Remember that all interior holes for glasses, cups, and bowls must be filled with chips or shavings.
How to pack mirrors or pictures
These objects are usually made with very clear glass and have no thickness or exposed corners. Let’s look at how we can proceed
- Protect the glass by crossing it from corner to corner and creating a large “X” with painter’s tape. The painter’s tape is not marking and will protect from scratches while adding stability.
- Next, we place protective cardboard on top of the glass. This will cover the entire surface. (You can also use an old open container).
- After the cardboard has been placed, we cover the corners with profiles to packaging.
- We will now wrap the mirror or painting with bubble wrap, and seal it with packing paper.
- Your paintings and decorative mirrors can be stored in a vertical location in your storage area. However, remember to see the label “Very Fracture”.
