1. Opt for Smaller Boxes for Heavy Fragile Items:

   Utilizing smaller boxes makes handling easier and minimizes the risk of items shifting within the box during transit. Ensure any additional space is filled with ample padding.

2. Avoid Flimsy Boxes:

   Choose boxes that are robust and sturdy. If a box exhibits any flexibility before placing items inside, it’s advisable not to use it. Prioritizing safety is crucial.

3. Reinforce the Box Bottom with Additional Tape Strips:

   Adding extra strips of tape to the box’s bottom enhances support and prevents it from bowing under the weight of its contents.

4. Line the Box Bottom with Soft Packing Materials:

   Use materials like packing paper, bubble wrap, foam, styrofoam peanuts, or towels to cushion the box’s bottom. After packing, fill any remaining empty spaces.

5. Arrange the heaviest Items at the Bottom:

   Layer items from largest to smallest to provide robust support at the box base and prevent smaller items from being crushed. Place heavier items at the box’s bottom and lighter, fragile items on top during assembly and loading.

6. Utilize Dividers for Glasses and Stemware:

   Invest in cardboard or special boxes with built-in dividers to prevent glassware from shifting and colliding.

7. Fill Hollow Items with Packing Paper:

   Hollow items like glasses and jars should be filled with packing paper to absorb vibrations.

8. Individually Wrap Each Item:

   Wrap items individually, considering size, shape, and material—separate delicate items, into smaller boxes. Use bubble wrap, tissue paper, or packing paper to wrap delicate items for added protection.

9. Apply Sufficient Packing Tape:

   Secure fragile items in packing material using an ample amount of packing tape to maintain the wrapping’s integrity and prevent items from shifting during transit.

10. Clearly Label Fragile Items:

 Mark boxes containing fragile items. Place these boxes separately and instruct movers to handle them with care during loading and unloading. Stack plates and bowls with packing paper or bubble wrap between each one of these fragile items to reduce the risk of damage.

11. Use Original Packaging for Electronics: 

Utilize original boxes for electronics, and for items without packaging, wrap cables separately, and label for easy reassembly.

12. Disassemble Bulky Furniture: 

Separate large furniture into smaller parts, wrapping each piece in bubble wrap for easier transport.

13. Utilize Cardboard Dividers and Bubble Wrap for Glasses:

Use special boxes or dividers to separate glassware and add extra layers of protection with bubble wrap

14. Take Your Time:

    Resist the urge to rush through the packing process. Taking the time to pack fragile items attentively prevents mistakes and ensures a smoother moving day.
