Moving Tips from Applewhite Movers
Packing up your home or office can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to fragile items. Whether it’s Grandma’s china, your favorite glassware, or a one-of-a-kind piece of décor, we know how important it is to make sure your delicate belongings arrive safely at your new space.
At Applewhite Movers, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses move with care, and we’re sharing our top tips to protect your most breakable items!
🧼 1. Start with a Clean Surface and the Right Supplies
Don’t just grab the nearest box and newspaper. When it comes to fragile items, quality materials matter. Here’s what you’ll need:
✔️ Sturdy boxes (double-walled are best for heavier or more delicate items)
✔️ Packing paper or bubble wrap
✔️ Foam sheets or dish sleeves
✔️ Packing tape
✔️ A marker for labeling
🍽 2. Wrap Items Individually
Each fragile item should be wrapped on its own—no shortcuts! Use packing paper or bubble wrap and secure it with tape if needed. For dishes and glasses, place them vertically in the box with cushioning between each layer.
🧊 3. Cushion the Top, Bottom & Sides
Line the bottom of your box with crumpled packing paper or foam peanuts before placing any items inside. Fill in gaps between items and on top before sealing the box. This prevents movement and absorbs shocks during transport.
🏷 4. Label It (and Mean It)
Clearly label boxes with FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP so movers know how to handle them. At Applewhite Movers, we always double-check box labels and make sure fragile items are loaded and stacked with extra care.
