Whether it's delicate glassware, valuable antiques, or sensitive electronics, it's important to take extra precautions when packing and moving these items. At Gorilla Movers of Wisconsin, we have years of experience in pack and move services, and we have mastered the art of safely transporting fragile items. Here are some tips on how to safely transport fragile items during a move.
How to Safely Transport Fragile Items
Pack Like a Pro
The first step in safely transporting fragile items is to use the right packing materials. This includes sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, packing peanuts, and tape. Make sure the boxes are of the right size and shape to fit the fragile item snugly. Use bubble wrap to wrap each item individually, and fill any empty spaces in the box with packing peanuts to prevent shifting.
The Importance of Properly Labeling
It's essential to label the boxes containing fragile items as "fragile" and "handle with care." This will alert the moving company to handle the boxes with extra caution and prevent them from being stacked or placed underneath heavy items.
Preparing Fragile Items for Transport
If possible, disassemble any fragile items such as furniture or electronics before packing them. Use enough cushioning material between components to prevent them from colliding during transportation. Disassembling will not only make them easier to transport but also reduce the risk of damage by protecting each part individually.
Professional Care
If you have a lot of fragile items or are not confident in your packing skills, it's best to hire a professional pack and move service. They have the expertise and experience in handling fragile items and will provide the necessary packing materials to properly pack and transport them, minimizing the risk of damage. At Gorilla Movers of Wisconsin, we understand your fragile items hold sentimental and monetary value, and we take extra care in transporting them.
