How to Pack Fragile Items Like Professional Movers
October 2, 2026
Broken glasses and chipped plates are the #1 moving complaint. Here’s how our crews pack fragile items.
The Right Materials
You need: small sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and “FRAGILE” markers. Never use large boxes for heavy fragile items β they break under their own weight.
The Method
- Plates: wrap each individually, pack vertically like records β never flat-stacked.
- Glasses: stuff with crumpled paper, wrap outside, pack rim-down.
- Electronics: original boxes are best; otherwise double-box with padding.
- Artwork: corner protectors + bubble wrap + flat rigid box.
The Golden Rule
Fill every gap. Movement inside the box is what breaks things. When in doubt, let professionals handle it β our packing service includes all materials and fragile-only options. Call 054 356 8729.
