Dos

  Makes assets in top-notch packing materials like sturdy boxes, packing paper, packing peanuts, adhesive tape, and bubble wrap. Do not paper articles for packaging strong items because the ink may get transferred and damage the delicate surfaces.

2. Wrap Each Item Individually:

  Every fragile item you have needs to be wrapped separately. Ensure that there are 2-3 layers of bubble wrap or packing paper. When it comes to items having complex designs or fine edges, we can wrap them carefully with bubble holders to provide full protection.

3. Use Proper Packing Techniques:

  Making sure that you tightly fix all fragile things in the box so they won’t shift during your move is very important. Section shapings with cups or papers to add more cushioning and back.

4. Label Boxes Clearly:

  Certainly, sprinkle labels over the boxes that contain the fragile stuff with "Fragile" stickers or markers to warn movers to beware of that stuff. Point out the side of the box that should always be facing up. If the item is not, then please inform the customer that the product needs to be treated with caution.

5. Reinforce Boxes:

  Do box reinforcing with duct tape or larger double bubble tape on the bottom and sides of the boxes that store the fragile items to ensure that they don’t collapse or even break open during transit. Double boxing, particularly for fragile items, usually makes up a second box.

6. Pack Electronics Securely:

  When packing up their electronic devices like TVs, computers, stereos, etc, it would be better still when they make use of their original packaging if possible. 

  If the original packaging is unsecured, things should be wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap and then secured in strong cartons which should be padded with a lot of fabrics under them.

Don'ts

1. Overpack Boxes:

  Do not overload boxes with too many fragile things which may lead to the increased risk of breakage by the excessive weight that applies the pressure on each object. Use lighter items in the small boxes and maintain the top height of the box to balance the weight of the boxes.

2. Neglect Proper Cushioning:

  Cushioning is essential and can hardly be compromised when you are dealing with fragile items. Inadequacy of the padding will increase the risk of damage during transit. If the items experience handling or shaking, they may be damaged on the way.

3. Stack Heavy Items on Top:

  Do not put heavy things atop the carefully packed fragile items. Also, do not put them on moving vans while loading the moving truck. Hard things if tom and put lead items or their wrapping may cause damage to more delicate fares underneath. Therefore, such objects should be packed properly.

4. Pack Liquids or Hazardous Materials:

  While liquids, flammables or hazardous materials should never accompany fragile items, you should not forget to pack along a small brick, a layer of newspaper for extra padding or a small bag of rice. Besides, this is also an unsafe condition and there is a possible threat that the hazardous chemicals will leak out that may imperil the surrounding items.

5. Run the Packing Method:

   Take your time when packing fragile items and defy the urge to rush through the process. Careful planning and attention to detail are important for guaranteeing that your fragile belongings are adequately protected during the move.
