Packing for moving is a stressful process, so when it comes to fragile items packing, it becomes even more troubling. Especially if you don’t have a lot of time, but you need to be extra careful with fragile items – it can become overwhelming. But don’t you worry. Here at Armando Movers we have some tips for you. Follow our guide on how to pack fragile items, and you’ll see that it’s not that hard after all.
Start on Time
Even though we think packing fragile items is an easy task, it actually takes time. People usually underestimate the job of fragile items packing, so they end up rushing it in the last minute and end up damaging some of the items. To avoid this, start preparing in advance, so you don’t have to hurry a couple of days before the move.
Sort Out your Fragile Items
Before you even start thinking about packing the items, go through them first. Decide if you will be taking all your items with you. Getting rid of items that you don’t need is half the job. Make a list of items that you have and simply get rid of the items you no longer need.
Make Sure you have the Right Packing Materials
No matter how excited you are for packing, if you don’t have the right materials you won’t get the job done. Prepare everything you need in advance, so when you start packing, you don’t waste time and money buying materials. In order to pack everything fragile you will need these supplies:
- Boxes – strong cardboard boxes are a must. You can find them in different sizes and shapes, so the type and the number of those will depend on the number of your items.
- Bubble wrap –Bubble wrap will protect your items from damage so be sure to get loads of it.
- Packing paper – you can collect some old newspaper and use it for this purpose as well.
- Tape – use tape to secure the boxes from breaking
- Blankets, towels, old clothes or packing peanuts
- Pens/markers for labeling
