How to PACk Fragile ITEMS

How to PACk Fragile ITEMS

This is the most crucial step to ensure your fragile items are safe during your move. You can make sure your fragile items arrive intact by taking the time to learn how best to pack them.
Take your time when packing. This is the best thing you can do. You can easily forget to wrap or mess up if you are in a rush. So plan ahead and allow yourself enough time to pack your items before you move. You can ensure that your valuables arrive safe and sound by taking the time to properly pack and protect them.
It is a good idea to start planning a month ahead of your move. You should take the time to clean out your home. Take the time and get rid of all valuable china, mirrors, crystal, and other fragile items. You can set aside time for packing and make sure they are ready before the movers arrive.

To ensure that all your valuables are packed efficiently and properly, it is important to stay organized. You can find the following packing materials at Wal-Mart and ULINE. You should also check with your moving company to see if they can provide any equipment that you may need.
Bubble wrap should be used only if the item is heavy, unusually shaped or pointed. It's possible for the bubble wrap to pop during the move. If you're moving long distances, your item may end up being wrapped in plastic paper with no bubbles to protect it. If this happens, you should avoid bubble wrap.
The right packaging materials can make a difference when your broken items arrive in one piece or in many.

HOW TO PACK PLATES
Each plate should be wrapped in bubble wrap and secured with a piece of scotch tape. You can reduce the surface area of your plates and decrease the risk of them breaking during transport by placing them vertically within your box. Fine china should be stored vertically. To do this, place a piece of cushion foam or pliable cardboard between each plate. To reduce movement, fill the empty spaces with newspaper crumpled and/or an old T-shirt. Do not overpack boxes. This is a sure way for your breakables to be damaged.

HOW TO PACK GLASSES & FINE GLASSWARE
Wrap each glass in newspaper first, tucking the paper into the glass. Secure the glass with tape. You can use small or medium double-wall boxes to pack glassware. However, they tend to be heavier when stacked. You can layer the box. Just make sure that the heavy glasses are placed on the bottom and the lightest glasses on the top. Between each layer, you will need a piece of flexible cardboard. Label which side of the box is the top.

HOW TO PACK MIRRORS & LARGE GLASS ITEMS
Mirror
Mirrors and sheet glass (picture frames, windows, etc.) can be shipped by using mirrors or sheet glasses. Start by placing painter’s tape in the center of the glass in the shape of a star. Expand to the edges. This will help prevent the glass from shifting and absorb vibrations that could crack it. Bubble wrap is used to protect the edges of the sheet glass or mirror with foam frame protectors.

A mirror corrugated container is recommended for smaller mirrors and glass items. This box is designed to protect your mirror while it's being transported. ULINE.com offers a mirror corrugated box. You can also check with your local moving company to find out what they offer.

You should group multiple pieces together if you plan on storing them together. You should keep larger mirrors together, away from smaller and more fragile pieces. You can protect each piece by adding a layer of bubble wrap, newspaper crumpled up, or foam sheets between them. We recommend crating valuable pieces of art, such as mirrors or family heirlooms, for extra protection.

CRATING
Moving quotes will not include crating costs. If you do decide to crate your items, it is possible that the moving company can do this for you. Ask about crating options early on. A single item can be crated for an average of $70. Each crate is made specifically for the item being cratered, so the price will vary.

HOW TO PACK VASES & FINE CERAMICS
Vases
You will want to again use smaller containers when making vases. When working with fragile items, remember that less is more.

To reduce friction, wrap the vase in the newspaper. Wrap the entire thing in bubble wrap, and secure it with tape. Before you insert the vase, cover the box with old towels or t-shirts.

You can package smaller pieces together by placing their heavy ends down. Between each piece, use pliable cardboard and cushion foam. You can pack a larger vase in a single box with double walls. To fill extra space, wrap it in newspaper and towels.

HOW TO PACK ABNORMALLY-SHAPED Pieces

Wrap any other unusually shaped items in newspaper and tape them securely. Then wrap in bubble wrap. Be sure to protect all angles and edges. Foam covers can be used to protect delicate edges or points. Never overpack your boxes. Use pliable cardboard between layers if you stack pieces. Double-wall boxes are better if you do. If you need extra space, fill it with bubble wrap and/or crumpled paper.

Be careful not to overpack fragile items. However, you should not leave any space for them to move around in. This problem can be solved by using crumpled newspaper or bubble wrap to fill the box. Use bubble wrap and tape to secure your items during transport. You can feel confident using all the tools you have.

These packing tips will ensure that your items arrive at their destination in perfect condition.

Whatever you pack, make sure it is labeled as "fragile" and that the top of the container is clearly marked. It is also a good idea to note the space where the box should be placed in your new home.
That's all for this video thanks for watching.
