How to Safely Move Fragile Items: Expert Packing Tips from Jeebly Moveo
Moving homes or offices can be stressful, especially when it comes to delicate and breakable items. From glassware and electronics to artwork and decor, fragile items require extra care and proper planning. Knowing how to safely move fragile items can make the difference between a smooth relocation and costly damage.
At Jeebly Moveo, we’ve handled thousands of relocations across the UAE. Here are our expert packing tips to help ensure your fragile belongings arrive safely at your new destination.
1. Use the Right Packing Materials
The foundation of safe packing starts with high-quality materials. Avoid using old or weak boxes for fragile items.
Essential packing supplies include:
1) Sturdy, double-walled boxes
2) Bubble wrap and foam sheets
3) Packing paper or soft padding
4) Strong packing tape
5) “Fragile” and “This Side Up” labels
Each fragile item should be individually wrapped to prevent movement and impact during transit.
2. Pack Items Individually and Securely
One of the most common mistakes people make when packing fragile items for moving is stacking items without enough separation. Glass, ceramics, and electronics should never touch each other directly.
Wrap each item separately and place cushioning at the bottom, sides, and top of the box. Fill all empty spaces with padding to prevent shifting while the box is being moved.
3. Label Boxes Clearly
Clear labeling helps movers handle your boxes with care. Always mark fragile boxes visibly on multiple sides. Indicate the contents and the correct orientation of the box.
Proper labeling allows professional movers to prioritize fragile items during loading and unloading, reducing the risk of damage.
4. Don’t Overload Boxes
Heavy boxes increase the risk of drops and internal damage. Keep fragile item boxes light and manageable. If a box feels too heavy, split the items into multiple boxes.
Balancing weight is a simple yet effective way to ensure safe packing for relocation.
5. Protect Electronics and Valuables
For electronics, use original packaging whenever possible. If not available, wrap devices in anti static materials and add extra padding. Remove detachable parts and secure cables separately.
For high value or sentimental items, consider keeping them with you instead of placing them in the moving truck.
6. Trust Professional Movers for Expert Handling
Even with the best packing techniques, handling during transport plays a crucial role. Professional movers are trained to load, secure, and transport fragile items safely.
