If you have fragile items in your home that you plan to take to the new house on moving day, you may be compelled to pack them yourself just so that you are sure that they would get there safely. You may also want to package and move your fragile items because you may not have the money to afford it. For those with extra money, we would suggest that you invest your income tax return into hiring an expert who can package your fragile items. However, if you must do this project by yourself, then be prepared to exercise a lot of patience and of course help from your friends.
Packaging fragile items are very tricky; you have to be very careful that you not only wrap and pad the items well but that they are also transported carefully. With fragile wrapping and packing projects such as these, both bubble wrap and extra padding should be your near and dear friends; you truly cannot have too much of those.
When wrapping and packaging items such as pictures and paintings, you would definitely need to use some corner protectors which would help to keep the frame intact. You would also need to protect the front of the picture or painting and this can be done by making an “x” formation on the picture with masking tape. For the painting you should tape cardboard to cover the front of the painting, not necessarily letting the tape touch the painting as it would ruin it. Once this is done then you can start applying a generous amount of bubble wrap to your items.
Also, when packaging other fragile items such as a computer monitor or a TV, your best bet would be to also tape on some cardboard to the screen followed by two layers of bubble wrap before you place them in sturdy boxes. These boxes should also be padded so that the items can fit snugly rather than having it shift around.
Newspaper is great for wrapping your chinaware and dishes but no one wants the ink stains that it can sometimes leave behind. If you live close to a newspaper or printing company, you can visit them and ask for plain rolls which are usually free or available at a very low price. The paper is also good for padding your moving boxes and not to mention it is also good for providing that perfect shine for your mirrors as well.
