Packing fragile items can be nerve-wracking during a move. Whether you’re moving delicate glassware, electronics, or heirlooms, protecting these valuables from damage requires careful packing techniques. Here are five essential tips to ensure your fragile belongings arrive safely at your new Columbus home.
Invest in quality packing supplies such as:
Sturdy boxes in appropriate sizes
Bubble wrap and packing paper
Foam peanuts or crumpled paper for cushioning
Packing tape and scissors
Dividers for glasses or dishes
Using the right materials minimizes the risk of breakage.
Wrap each fragile item separately with bubble wrap or packing paper. For glassware or ceramics, consider double wrapping. Place wrapped items snugly inside boxes with cushioning material to prevent shifting during transit.
Avoid putting too many heavy or fragile items in one box. Keep boxes manageable in weight and size to reduce the risk of dropping or crushing.
Mark boxes containing fragile items with “Fragile” and “This Side Up” labels. Clear labeling alerts movers to handle those boxes with extra care.
Place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top. Fill any gaps with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to keep items stable. For electronics, pack cords separately and keep all parts together.
