Over 80% of accidental breakages during house moves occur due to improper packing materials or poorly cushioned cartons. Using the right double-walled boxes and packing methods eliminates transit risk.
Kitchen: Plates, Bowls & Stem Glassware
Always pack plates vertically on their rims like vinyl records, never flat on their bases. Cushion the bottom of double-walled cartons with crushed butcher paper. Wrap wine glasses individually with acid-free tissue paper and fill hollow glass bowls with bubble wrap.
Living Room: Framed Art, Mirrors & Electronics
Apply painter’s masking tape in an 'X' shape across glass frames to prevent shattering in the event of impact. Wrap mirrors in heavy bubble wrap and slip them into flat telescopic mirror cartons. Televisions should be transported in original packaging or padded TV flight cases.
Bedroom: Wardrobe Clothes & Perfume Bottles
Use tall wardrobe cartons with integrated hanging rails to transfer suits and dresses straight from your closet without wrinkling. Seal perfume and cosmetic liquids in watertight ziplock bags before placing them in cushioned boxes.
