How to Pack Fragile Items?
If you decide to pack fragile items on your own, it’s critical to understand that by trying to cut corners on packaging materials people often end up damaging transported items.
Another common mistake people make packing fragile items too tightly in order to save some room in the vehicle. Remember a simple rule: size of a packaging must match sizes of transported items (or be slightly smaller).
Fill any empty spaces with auxiliary materials such as foam plastic, bubble wrap or paper. Carefully seal the joining flaps with tape to prevent opening during transport. Make sure to label the boxes! Notes like “Fragile” or “Handle with Care” will draw one’s attention and will be handled delicately during the moving.
We hope our advice will serve as a good help for you to take your vintage lamp or fine Chinese porcelain to a new place without any damage.
