You have every reason to be concerned about the integrity of fragile things throughout the journey. Take your time while packing because if you are packing in a hurry you tend to throw things clumsily which would eventually lead to the damage of treasured fragile objects. You can never say how a box is going to be relocated by the movers and if you have not marked the boxes, even you might harm it. So, protect your delicate items in every way possible. Here are a few tips by the top removalists of Perth for you that will help you move delicate items safely using the right packing materials:
● Plates:
Each plate should be wrapped in bubble wrap and taped shut. Put a layer of padding in between plates made of fine china or bone china. Flexible cardboard or cushion foam are two options for the layer of padding. And don’t forget to pack the plates vertically; doing so reduces the surface area and lowers the likelihood that they may shatter when being moved. Old newspaper or an old t-shirt can be used to fill the empty spots in the box. However, be careful not to overpack the box as this could result in a dish-aster. Label the containers “Fragile: Handle with Caution” and tape them shut.
● Glassware:
Individual glasses should be wrapped in newspaper, tucked within, and taped shut. Although the glasses may appear small, when they are placed one on top of the other, they become heavy. Therefore, it is essential to choose a double-walled box that is either small or medium in size for packing. Never pack glassware in big boxes because it is more difficult to handle and pack. You can layer the boxes with different types of glassware, but be sure to arrange the heavier glasses on top and the sturdiest ones at the bottom. Between the layers of glassware, add a layer of flexible cardboard or foam. Once the box is sealed, be sure to indicate which side is the front.
● Mirrors or sheet glass:
If the mirrors are not given appropriate shock absorption during shifting, they will break. Tape the mirror diagonally from edge to edge so that the center of the mirror resembles a star. This setup shields the glass and dampens vibrations. To keep the corners of the mirror or sheet glass in place, use foam protectors. If you are moving glasses of different sizes, make careful to split them into their appropriate sizes and set them aside.
A large glass placed next to small ones will undoubtedly break. Make careful to place a layer of newspaper, bubble wrap, or foam sheets in between stacked sheet glasses before relocating them. It is best to box precious pieces of glass or mirror when moving them. In crating, hardwood pallets and foam are combined to create a box that offers sufficient padding to safeguard your priceless item.
