🫙 How to Pack Fragile Items Safely for Moving
When it comes to moving, nothing causes more stress than packing fragile items — glass, dishes, mirrors, and electronics.
At TriServices Moving & Delivery, we’ve handled thousands of delicate items safely.
Follow these professional tips to make sure your belongings arrive damage-free.
💡 1️⃣ Use the Right Packing Materials
Invest in quality supplies to protect your valuables:
-
Double-layered moving boxes
-
Bubble wrap, packing paper, and foam sheets
-
Heavy-duty tape and corner protectors
-
“Fragile” labels on all sides
Pro tip: Don’t overpack boxes — allow a few inches of cushion space on all sides.
📦 2️⃣ Wrap Each Item Individually
Never stack unprotected dishes or glassware together.
Wrap each item separately using bubble wrap or paper, and fill gaps with crumpled paper or towels to prevent shifting.
🖼️ 3️⃣ Protect Mirrors, Frames & TVs
-
Place a cardboard sheet between mirrors or framed pictures.
-
Use TV boxes (available from TriServices) sized for 55″–85″ screens.
-
Mark arrows for “This Side Up” and “Fragile” on the outer box.
-
Keep large frames and TVs upright during transport.
🍽️ 4️⃣ Pack Dishes & Glassware the Right Way
-
Line boxes with soft material or foam.
-
Stack dishes vertically (like records) instead of flat.
-
Wrap glassware inside and out, stuffing paper into each piece.
-
Label boxes clearly by room (e.g., Kitchen – Fragile).
🧰 5️⃣ Use Dividers for Bottles & Vases
Use cardboard dividers or wine-box inserts for bottles, vases, and small fragile decor.
This keeps items separated and prevents side-to-side impact during transport.
🚚 6️⃣ Load Fragile Boxes Carefully
Always keep fragile boxes on top of heavier ones.
TriServices crews load and secure all fragile items last, with extra straps and padding inside the truck.
