Packing Like a Pro – How to Protect Fragile Items

Worried about your dishes, glassware, or antiques during your move? Here’s how to pack fragile items like a pro:

  • Wrap individually: Use bubble wrap or packing paper for each item.

  • Use dividers: For glasses or mugs, cardboard dividers help prevent shifting and breaking.

  • Fill empty space: Prevent movement by stuffing empty spots with towels, paper, or clothing.

  • Label boxes: Clearly mark boxes with “FRAGILE” and “This Side Up”.

  • Don’t overpack: Heavier doesn’t mean safer. Use multiple smaller boxes if needed.

Bonus tip: Let your moving team know which boxes are fragile—so they handle them with extra care.
