When it comes to moving, packing fragile items is often the most stressful task. Whether it’s glassware, electronics, ceramics, or artwork, these belongings need extra care to arrive safely at your new home. At Hulk Movers, we’ve helped thousands of customers move with confidence — and we’re sharing our expert advice to help protect your most delicate items.

Choose the Right Packing Materials

The foundation of a successful packing job starts with quality materials. Invest in sturdy cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, foam peanuts, and strong tape. Avoid newspaper for wrapping as the ink can transfer onto items. Use specialty boxes for dishes, TVs, and mirrors when possible.

For fragile items, never leave empty space inside the box. Use soft materials like towels, cloths, or packing paper to fill in gaps and prevent movement during transport.

Wrap Items Individually and Label Clearly

Each fragile item should be wrapped individually to prevent direct contact. Start by wrapping in packing paper or bubble wrap, then secure with tape. For dishes and glassware, stack them vertically (like records) in padded boxes to reduce the risk of breakage.

Label every box that contains fragile items with a bold “FRAGILE” sign on multiple sides. Also indicate “This Side Up” to help movers handle the boxes properly during loading and unloading.

Layering Is Key

When packing a box, place heavier items at the bottom and lighter, more delicate ones on top. Use double layers of cushioning material between items and around the sides of the box. Reinforce the bottom with extra tape for added security.

For high-value items like electronics or antiques, consider using original packaging if available. These boxes are typically designed to protect the product during shipment and provide an extra layer of assurance.
