How to Pack Fragile Items for Long-Distance Moves

By DeVries Family Moving & Storage

Fragile Doesn’t Mean Difficult

Whether it’s glassware, antiques, or artwork, fragile items require special care. With the right materials and strategy, you can ensure everything arrives safely — even across state lines.

Use the Right Packing Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Avoid newspaper — the ink can stain delicate surfaces. For extra protection, DeVries Moving offers professional packing services and specialty boxes for mirrors, dishes, and electronics.

Label Everything Clearly

Use bold “FRAGILE” labels and mark which side should face up. This helps movers handle your boxes with the necessary care.

Cushion and Fill

Fill empty spaces inside boxes with packing paper or foam peanuts to prevent items from shifting during transport. The tighter the fit, the safer your belongings will be.

Trust the Experts

For valuable or irreplaceable pieces, consider professional crating. DeVries Moving provides customized solutions for delicate or high-value shipments.

Protect what matters most. Choose DeVries Moving for expert packing and long-distance relocation peace of mind.
