Packing fragile items is one of the most challenging parts of moving. Glassware, ceramics, electronics, and décor pieces can easily get damaged if not packed properly. The key to a successful move is proper technique, quality materials, and careful handling. With years of experience, BH Movers and Packers has developed proven methods to ensure your delicate belongings arrive safely at your new home. Here are some professional packing hacks to help you protect fragile items like a pro.
Use the Right Packing Materials
The foundation of safe packing lies in using high-quality materials. Ordinary boxes and newspapers may not be enough to protect delicate items. BH Movers and Packers always recommends using sturdy cartons, bubble wrap, packing paper, and cushioning materials such as foam or air pillows. Double-walled boxes are ideal for glass and porcelain items.
Wrap Each Item Individually
Never stack fragile items together without individual wrapping. Wrap each piece separately with bubble wrap or packing paper to prevent scratching or cracking. For added protection, secure the wrapping with tape and make sure there are no gaps. BH Movers and Packers trains its team to wrap every fragile item individually to ensure maximum safety during transport.
Cushion the Bottom and Top of Boxes
Before placing items in a box, always add a layer of cushioning at the bottom. You can use foam peanuts, towels, or soft cloths. Once the items are packed, fill any empty spaces with extra padding and add another soft layer on top. This prevents movement inside the box, which is one of the main causes of damage. BH Movers and Packers uses professional cushioning techniques to absorb shock during transportation.
Pack Heavy Items First
When placing items in a box, always start with heavier objects at the bottom and lighter ones on top. This method distributes weight evenly and prevents lighter items from being crushed. BH Movers and Packers follows a strict order while packing to maintain stability and balance in every box.
Label Boxes Clearly
After sealing the boxes, label them with “Fragile” and indicate which side should face up. This helps movers handle them with extra care. BH Movers and Packers uses color-coded labels and symbols to ensure that fragile items are recognized instantly by the moving team.
Handle with Care During Loading and Unloading
Even perfectly packed boxes can be damaged if handled carelessly. That’s why BH Movers and Packers trains its team to move and load fragile boxes using special techniques. Items are placed in the truck strategically to avoid pressure or movement during transit.
Don’t Rush Unpacking
When you reach your new home, take your time unpacking fragile items. Open each box slowly and remove items one at a time. Inspect everything for cracks or breaks before arranging them in your new space. BH Movers and Packers always advises customers to unpack fragile items in a clean, stable area to avoid accidental slips or falls.
