Packing fragile items can be one of the most stressful parts of moving. Glassware, electronics, and delicate decorations need extra care to avoid damage during transportation. Whether you're moving across Perth or to a new suburb, using the right packing techniques can keep your valuables safe.
At AllCare Removalists Perth, we specialize in professional packing and moving services. Follow these expert tips to protect your fragile items and ensure they arrive at your new home in perfect condition.
1. Gather High-Quality Packing Materials
Using the right materials is essential when packing fragile items. Here’s what you’ll need:
✔ Sturdy boxes – Use double-walled cardboard boxes for extra protection.
✔ Bubble wrap & packing paper – Wrap each item individually to absorb shock.
✔ Packing peanuts & foam padding – Fill empty spaces inside boxes to prevent shifting.
✔ Strong packing tape – Secure boxes properly to keep them intact during transport.
✔ Fragile stickers & labels – Mark boxes clearly so movers handle them with care.
📌 Pro Tip: If you have the original boxes for electronics, use them—they provide the best fit and protection!
2. Wrap Each Fragile Item Properly
Different items require specific wrapping techniques to prevent breakage:
🔹 Glassware & Dishes – Wrap each piece in bubble wrap or packing paper, and stack plates vertically to reduce pressure.
🔹 Mirrors & Picture Frames – Tape an "X" across the glass with masking tape to minimize shattering if broken.
🔹 Electronics – Remove batteries, wrap cords separately, and pack gadgets in anti-static bubble wrap.
🔹 Lamps & Bulbs – Remove lampshades and bulbs, wrapping them individually.

3. Use Proper Box Packing Techniques
✔ Place heavier items at the bottom of the box and lighter ones on top.
✔ Fill gaps with packing peanuts or towels to prevent movement.
✔ Avoid overloading boxes—heavy boxes are harder to carry and more likely to break.
✔ Seal boxes securely with reinforced tape.
📦 Pro Tip: Shake the box slightly before sealing—if items shift inside, add more padding!
4. Label & Organize Boxes Correctly
Clearly marking fragile boxes ensures they receive extra care during the move.
✔ Write "FRAGILE" on all sides of the box in bold letters.
✔ Use arrows to indicate "This Side Up" for sensitive items.
✔ Group fragile items together to make unpacking easier.
✔ Create an inventory list so you know where each item is packed.

✔ Keep breakables separate from heavy furniture in the moving truck.
✔ Avoid stacking heavy boxes on fragile ones.
✔ Drive carefully, avoiding sudden stops that could shift items.
