It is common for fragile items to break during a home move. To protect all your belongings its important to use the best packing materials.
Bubble wrap is ideal for wrapping fragile items as the air pockets cushion objects whilst in transit. Use generous amounts to wrap items. If you are concerned about the use of plastic in bubble wrap, you can purchase bubble wrap made from biodegradable materials, as this is more eco-friendly.
To make sure there are no empty spaces in boxes, use crumpled up packing paper to fill in gaps to prevent items from moving.
Large pictures, framed photos and mirrors are difficult to fit in boxes. Instead, you can use specialised picture cartons which are thin cardboard boxes designed to keep picture frames safe.
People often use empty cardboard boxes from supermarkets to pack things in for the house move. These are fine for inexpensive non-fragile items, but they tend to be thin and could collapse causing fragile items to break. Instead, purchase high-quality thick cardboard boxes.
Use packing tape with the word fragile printed on it to mark boxes containing fragile items. This warns the moving team to take exceptional care of these boxes.
