Dakota, Scott, and Coleman were a great group of guys to get us moved to our new place! They kept us informed and showed up on time. Super efficient and even managed to get everything we wanted moved plus some other items in one trip! Saved us some time and kept all of our stuff safe. Would recommend and definitely will use again if we move.

Ross, Ty, Corn, Brandon and Shawn are the best. They were fast and efficient. They had to move it into a storage unit. Quite a few people said it wouldn’t all fit but they packed that unit expertly to the very brim. I’ll update in a few months when they have to move it all to the new house.

Moving fragile items can be one of the most stressful parts of relocating. From delicate glassware and artwork to sensitive electronics, packing breakable and valuable items requires special care. When packed improperly, fragile items can be damaged during the move, which is both costly and disappointing. But with the right materials, techniques, and a little bit of patience, you can safely pack these items and enjoy peace of mind on moving day.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through best practices for packing fragile items and show how Kentuckiana Moving can simplify the process with their specialized handling services for delicate and valuable belongings.
Packing fragile items properly is essential to prevent breakage. Without adequate cushioning or secure packing, items can shift during transit, resulting in cracks, chips, or even complete breakage. By using the right packing materials and techniques, you can reduce the risk of damage and ensure your valuables arrive at your new home in one piece.
Kentuckiana Moving offers packing services that cater specifically to fragile items. Their team uses proven techniques and high-quality materials to protect each item, so you don’t have to worry about damage during your move.
To safely pack fragile items, make sure you have the following materials on hand:
Sturdy Boxes: Use strong, durable boxes that can withstand the weight of the items inside. Consider double-walled boxes for extra protection.
Bubble Wrap: Provides cushioning and shock absorption, especially important for items like glass and ceramics.
Packing Paper: Non-inked paper is ideal for wrapping items without staining. Use it to fill empty spaces and add padding.
Packing Peanuts: Great for filling gaps around fragile items to keep them from moving inside the box.
Foam Sheets: Useful for wrapping individual items or placing between layers of packed items.
Dish Pack Boxes: These boxes have compartments, making them ideal for packing fragile glassware, dishes, and other small valuables.
Packing Tape: Use high-quality tape to seal boxes securely.
If you’re unsure where to find these materials, Kentuckiana Moving can provide high-quality packing supplies and can even pack fragile items for you with their specialized packing services.
Glassware, stemware, and other delicate kitchen items require extra care. Here’s how to pack them safely:
Wrap Each Piece Individually: Wrap each glass in bubble wrap or packing paper. If you’re packing stemware, pay special attention to the stems, as they are often the most vulnerable part.
Use Dish Pack Boxes: Place each wrapped glass into a dish pack box with compartments. If you don’t have a dish pack box, layer the bottom of a regular box with packing peanuts or foam.
Add Cushioning Between Layers: If you’re stacking layers of glassware, place a foam sheet or layer of bubble wrap between each layer.
Fill Empty Spaces: Use packing paper or peanuts to fill any gaps, preventing the glasses from shifting during transit.
Kentuckiana Moving’s packing experts use specialized boxes and methods to handle fragile kitchenware, ensuring your glassware arrives safely at your new home.
Dishes are particularly prone to chipping, so be mindful when packing them.
Wrap Each Plate Separately: Wrap each plate in bubble wrap or multiple layers of packing paper. Start with a protective layer around the item, then wrap it fully.
Pack Vertically, Not Flat: Plates are less likely to break when packed on their sides rather than stacked flat. Place them vertically in a sturdy box.
Use a Dish Pack Box if Possible: Place plates in a dish pack box with dividers if you have one. This prevents direct contact between plates.
Add Padding at the Top and Bottom: Cushion the top and bottom of the box with packing paper or bubble wrap to absorb any impact.
If you’re concerned about packing dishes properly, Kentuckiana Moving can take over. They use specialized techniques and dish boxes to secure plates, bowls, and other dishware.
Electronics are sensitive to shocks and should be packed carefully. Here’s how to protect them:
Use Original Boxes if Available: If you still have the original boxes for your electronics, use them. They’re typically designed to protect the specific item.
Wrap Each Device in Bubble Wrap: If you don’t have the original packaging, wrap each item in bubble wrap. Use anti-static bubble wrap for computers and other sensitive electronics.
Remove and Pack Cords Separately: Detach cords, cables, and accessories, and place them in labeled plastic bags. This keeps everything organized and prevents cables from getting tangled or damaged.
Add Extra Padding: Fill any empty space in the box with packing paper or foam to prevent movement. Place a layer of padding at the bottom of the box for extra protection.
Kentuckiana Moving’s team is trained in handling electronics and can pack your devices securely. They use anti-static materials and take extra care with valuable electronic equipment.
Artwork, mirrors, and picture frames are highly vulnerable to damage. Proper packing ensures they arrive in perfect condition.
Use a Mirror Box or Picture Frame Box: Specially designed mirror boxes are ideal for packing framed art and mirrors. If you don’t have these, use a sturdy, appropriately sized box.
Wrap in Bubble Wrap and Foam Sheets: First, cover the glass with masking tape to prevent shattering. Then wrap the frame in bubble wrap and secure it with packing tape.
Protect the Corners: Place foam corner protectors on the frame to prevent chips and cracks.
Place Padding at the Bottom of the Box: Put a layer of packing peanuts or foam at the bottom of the box, then place the wrapped item inside. Add more peanuts or paper to fill any gaps.
Kentuckiana Moving has specialized techniques for packing artwork and mirrors, including the use of protective materials and custom boxes. Their experience minimizes the risk of damage during transit.
Items like vases, figurines, and collectibles require delicate handling.
Wrap in Multiple Layers of Bubble Wrap: Wrap each item individually with multiple layers of bubble wrap, especially if it has irregular shapes or delicate parts.
Use Double-Walled Boxes: For fragile decorative items, double-walled boxes provide extra protection.
Cushion the Bottom and Sides: Use foam or packing peanuts at the bottom and sides of the box, and fill any gaps to prevent movement.
Label as “Fragile”: Clearly mark these boxes as “Fragile” and instruct movers to handle them with care.
Kentuckiana Moving can pack and transport fragile decorative items with precision and care, using custom solutions to ensure safe delivery.
Packing fragile items takes patience, and avoiding these common mistakes can help protect your valuables:
Overpacking Boxes: Avoid overloading boxes, as this increases the risk of breakage. Use multiple boxes if needed.
Ignoring Empty Space: Empty spaces allow items to shift, so always fill gaps with paper or foam.
Using Flimsy Boxes: Weak boxes can collapse or tear during transit. Opt for sturdy, high-quality boxes.
Not Labeling Boxes: Label each box as “Fragile” and include details about the contents. This helps movers know to handle with care.
Kentuckiana Moving’s packing services eliminate these common mistakes by using best practices and high-quality materials, so you can rest assured that your items are safe.
