How to Pack Fragile Items when Moving

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Moving day is around the corner and its time to pack up the house.
We often over look the fragile items which need to be packed for a safe arrival at the new home.
For glass and fragile items get your moving box, use packing tape to seal the bottom and make sure to have plenty of packing paper on hand.
Take the glass and wrap it in a sheet of packing paper (Packing paper should be inkless) and lay the wrapped glass in the box. Continue this and soon you realize the box is safe because each glass is protected within itself with the inkless packing paper, fill the box accordingly and use some packing paper to fill in the dead space inside of the box, tape up the box, write “fragile” on it and “this side up” and your done!
Remember to mark which room it will end up in at your new home.
You can do the same with dishes, figurines, fragile items on top of your dressers and your items located in the curio cabinets.
Tell the moving crew to place these fragile moving boxes on top when packing the moving truck, this eliminates heavy boxes sitting on top.
