4 Handy Tips for Packing Fragile Items

Fragile items can easily get damaged during a move if they haven’t been packed tightly or securely enough. As a trusted removalist in Melbourne, the team at Melbourne Cheap Removals can offer several tips to help you protect your fragile items. This includes wrapping each item individually, using dividers, adding layers of padding, and filling spaces with packing paper.

Wrap and Pack Every Item

Wrapping every single breakable item might seem excessive, but it can significantly reduce vibrations and other impacts that occur during transit. Removing loose pieces such as lids and wrapping them separately is also highly recommended. In addition, you can use both bubble wrap and packing tape together to create extra insulation in case the box is dropped accidentally.

Add Layers of Padding to Boxes

Having a top and bottom layer of padding keeps items snug and stable, reducing damage when they’re moved or stacked. Various materials can be used as padding, including packing paper, bubble wrap and foam. You can also use dish towels and table linens which serve the same purpose.

Use Dividers for Glassware

Items tend to shift and collide with other items during transit, but this can be mitigated if not entirely eliminated with the right dividers. You can buy cardboard dividers separately or opt for boxes that already come with them. Either way, these are perfect for glasses and stemware which are especially susceptible to breaking.

Fill Spaces with Packing Paper

Fragile items such as vases, bowls, glasses and jars have hollow spaces which can increase vibrations during transit. These can be filled with packing paper and other materials, preventing cracking and other forms of damage caused by excess movement.

  • We have used these guys 3 times now and overall happy. They are not high end movers but excellent value for money. Friendly, on time and happy to assist with a move with little notice. We assisted in taping things closed and supervised load/unload, and the boys were only too willing to move furniture within rooms. Thank you!
