Packing Tips for Fragile Items: Safely Transporting Dishes and Delicate Household Items

When it comes to moving, one of the most delicate tasks is packing dishes and other fragile household items. Proper packing is crucial to ensure that these breakables arrive at your new home intact. Here are some essential tips to help you pack your dishes and other fragile items securely.

Tips

  1. Gather Supplies: Collect sturdy boxes, newspaper, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers.
  2. Reinforce Boxes: Strengthen the bottom with extra packing tape for added support.
  3. Individual Wrapping: Wrap each item separately using packing paper or bubble wrap.
  4. Create a Cushioned Layer: Line the box's bottom with crumpled newspaper or bubble wrap.
  5. Pack Vertically: Place wrapped dishes vertically in the box, heaviest items at the bottom.
  6. Add Padding Between Layers: Separate each layer with  newspaper or bubble wrap.
  7. Label Boxes: Clearly mark boxes as "Fragile" and include contents and room destination.
