Moving can prove to be a tragedy if you have discovered one
of your favorite antique items broken after opening the box. As a matter of
fact, every breakable is unfortunately enough expensive to eat considerable
amount of your earnings while you buy it. Hence, the breaking of these kinds of
items is surely heartbreaking too.<o:p></o:p></div>

Below mentioned are some easy tips that would help in
packing your costly breakables in a way that their integrity and best shape
remains intact.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Start packing ahead
of time<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Packing breakables is not something that you can do in
haste. The only way you can ensure the safety of these expensive items is to
start packing them while you have considerable amount of time left in moving.
With time in your hand, you will be able to secure your items in every way
possible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Get appropriate
supplies<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting strong and sturdy boxes is the foremost requirement.
After that, ensure that you have complete set of <a href="http://www.downholers.com/2016/08/19/great-diy-wrapping-paper-ideas/" target="_blank">packaging supplies</a> such as
bubble wrap, packing paper, cardboard (for sectioning inside the boxes),
packing tape and scissors. Make sure that you do the packing of these items on
a large table where you can spread the items for easier picking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Fragile items to be
packed<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Packing of each type of fragile items needs to be done
differently. Some of the most fragile items along with their packing procedures
are mentioned as under.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Plates</b> should be
packed in the form of a vertical stack. Moreover, the boxes used for packing of
plates should be of small to medium sizes. The best practice is to pack every
plate individually in a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_wrap" target="_blank">bubble wrap</a> and then secured with the tape. Do not
stuff too many plates in the boxes.</li>
<li>Packing paper should be used to secure the <b>glasses</b> in the box. Furthermore, crumpled
paper is recommended to fill the void. Small or medium sized boxes are
appropriate for the packaging of glasses. The heavy items should be placed in
the bottom and lighter ones on the top.</li>
<li><b>Lamp</b> shades are
highly fragile so they should be cushioned appropriately with a lot of paper.
Make sure that possible impact of one lamp shade with another in a box is
absolutely avoided.</li>
<li>The<b> picture frames </b>should
be stacked in medium sized boxes. Every picture frame should be separated from
the one at upper and lower side by crumpled paper. Large cardboard pieces can
also be used for separating purposes but cushioning needs to be ensured.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Specify the boxes
with fragile items<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Boxes, containing the breakable items, should be labeled
‘Fragile’. This labeling acts as an instruction not only for the family members
but also for the moving service personnel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One more worth mentioning thing is that the use of towels
and other fabrics for the cushioning of most of these items is really not the
wise idea. So, always go for standard cushioning materials.<o:p></o:p></div>
