Pack and Store Fragile Items With Confidence
Storing fragile belongings doesn’t have to be stressful. With the proper supplies and a few simple steps, you can protect your glassware, dishes, and home decor while creating space at home.
Whether you’re prepping for a move or just trying to stay organized, packing delicate items carefully is key. Our team at Right Move Storage will show you how to store them properly and make your storage unit work for you.
Gather the Right Materials for Packing Fragile Items
Before anything goes in a box, make sure you have sturdy materials, such as moving boxes, Bubble Wrap, packing paper, foam sheets, and tape. If you’re boxing up fragile glassware, cardboard dividers or dish kits help keep everything in place.
You can find packing materials like these at many Right Move Storage locations. They’re especially helpful if you’re not sure how to pack fragile items and don’t know where to start with buying supplies.
Best Ways To Pack Glass Furniture and Fragile Belongings
To guard your fragile belongings, carefully wrap each item individually and use soft padding, towels, or packing peanuts to fill empty spaces in every box. Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top to prevent any crushing.
For large glass furniture, thick blankets, moving pads, or shrink wrap help cover corners and edges during transport. Label each box clearly so you know what’s inside, and check out our full storage and packing tips for more ways to maintain fragile or oversized items.
Why Climate-Controlled Storage Is a Smart Choice
Items like glassware, photos, electronics, and wooden furniture can be affected by temperature swings. Choosing climate-controlled storage helps reduce that risk by keeping your storage unit within a steady temperature range all year. This type of storage unit is ideal for shielding items that are sensitive to heat, humidity, or sudden temperature changes.
How To Arrange Your Storage Unit To Prevent Damage
Start by placing fragile boxes on shelves or at the top of stacks, never under heavier items. Leave walkways open so you won’t need to climb over anything later. You can also place heavier items against the walls of your storage unit for added stability, and stack lighter boxes on top as needed. Keeping your layout organized from the start helps prevent searching for boxes frantically down the line.
