How to pack fragile items

Of all the packing jobs before a move, fragile items are among the trickiest. They need special care and a few simple rules to make sure they arrive in one piece. This guide walks you through it.

Step 1: Get everything ready

Before you start packing, gather all the materials you will need:
- Good quality boxes in different sizes
- Wrapping paper or newspaper
- Bubble wrap
- Strong packing tape
- Scissors or a utility knife
- A pen or marker to label the boxes

Step 2: Pack the items

As you pack, follow these rules:

  1. A first layer of protection: wrap every item on its own in wrapping paper or bubble wrap. Make sure it is fully covered, with no exposed parts.
  2. Fill the gaps: as you arrange the items in the box, use crumpled paper or bubble wrap to fill the spaces and stop anything from moving. The aim is a snug box where nothing can shift.
  3. Separate the items: for larger items such as plates and mugs, put wrapping paper or bubble wrap between them. This lowers the risk of scratches and damage.
  4. Seal and label: once the box is full, close it with strong tape on every side. Then label it clearly: write "FRAGILE" in large letters, so anyone handling it knows to take care. If needed, also note what is inside (for example "glasses" or "plates") and which way is up, with an arrow.


Step 3: Check and fix

Before you finish, do a "shake test". Lift the box and move it gently. If you hear things moving inside, open it again and add more filling, so everything stays in place and nothing breaks on the way.

A few more tips

- Put heavy items at the bottom of the box and lighter ones on top.
- Boxes with dividers are especially useful for glasses and plates.
- Plan ahead how the boxes will be loaded in the moving truck. Make sure boxes with fragile items are never placed under heavy ones.

In short

Packing fragile items for a move takes time, attention and care with the small details. With the right preparation and the rules above, all your fragile items will reach your new home safely.
