  1. PACK LIKE AN EXPERT 5 Tips for Packing Fragile and Expensive Items

  2. Moving to a new home can be exciting but it is not easy. You need to prepare yourself for a seemingly unending process. There are plenty of tasks in line that you need to finish before you move so it’s not surprising if you’ll easily get overwhelmed during the process. More importantly, you also need to prepare your belongings for packing. Pack as early as you can so you can still gather the materials that you need. If you do it in the last minute, you might not be able to pack your belongings carefully and it might get damaged. And, packing properly is really important especially when you have fragile and expensive items. Here are 5 tips on how to pack fragile and expensive items like an expert: Use Quality Cushioning Materials Use Quality Cushioning Materials The reason why fragile items break during your move is because they were not cushioned properly. When packing fragile/breakable items, you need to make sure that they are properly cushioned. Bubble wraps and packing papers serve as excellent cushioning materials. Wrap items in bubble wrap and secure it with tape. But, avoid using too much tape as you might have a hard time removing it when you start unpacking. Just use enough tape to secure the bubble wrap. Stuff vases, bowls, glasses, and stemware with crumpled paper. It will provide pressure from within. If you don’t have enough paper, you can also use tissue paper. When packing plates, place a layer of bubble wrap in between the plates you stack.

  3. Use Use New Moving Boxes New Moving Boxes When packing fragile items, it’s best to utilise new moving boxes. New moving boxes are still in great condition so they’ll be sturdy enough. You can always find stores in your local area that sell moving boxes. And, if you happen to live in Australia, you can conveniently order moving boxes online. You can find websites, like themovingboxcompany.com.au, that offer quality moving boxes. And, they can even deliver these boxes right to your doorstep. If you utilise used boxes, you can’t be too sure if they are still in good condition. They may be, but you are not sure if they will stay sturdy throughout your move since they are already used. If you think getting new boxes is costly, you can always opt for discounted moving packs which contain a number of moving boxes. It also includes several packing materials that you’ll need so you can really save money when you buy it in packs. If you want to know what’s included in such packs, you can check the details here.

  4. Strategically Place Your Items Strategically Place Your Items in in the the Box Box Before you place your items in the moving box, make sure to place 2 to 3 inches deep of packing peanuts on the bottom of the box. Strategically place items in the box and make sure that it is surrounded with 2 to 3 inches of packing material in all sides of the moving box to provide more cushion. It’s best to place heavier items at the bottom to avoid lighter items from being shattered or crushed as you move.

  5. Place Smaller Boxes Place Smaller Boxes within within Larger Moving Boxes Larger Moving Boxes For items that are extra fragile (or for items that you really cherish), pack them in smaller moving boxes. After that, place the smaller boxes in a much larger moving box. This will provide another layer of protection to keep your extra cherished belongings safe while it’s transported to your new home. This will also lessen the pressure put into the box while it’s stacked with other boxes. Make sure that the boxes are securely taped. Label Your Moving Boxes Label Your Moving Boxes Don’t forget to label your moving boxes. By labelling boxes, you will know what you placed inside it. Boxes will also be handled with extra care, especially if you hired moving companies to assist with your move.
