What items require special handling?

Moving fragile and valuable items, such as glassware, electronics, and antiques, requires careful preparation to prevent damage. The fundamental rule for all these categories is to ensure high quality padding.


For Glassware and Fragile Decor, wrap each item separately in tissue paper and bubble wrap, use double walled boxes, and fill empty spaces to prevent shifting. Plates should be packed vertically, and boxes must be clearly labelled “FRAGILE – GLASS.”


For Technology and Electronics, use original packaging when possible. Otherwise, use static free materials (cotton, wool, silk, linen, polystyrene foam, etc) to protect screens and sensitive components. Always back up all critical data before the move as a safeguard against potential loss.


For Old Heirlooms and Antiques, assess specific vulnerabilities. Extremely valuable items may require custom wooden crating by professional movers. Textile heirlooms should be wrapped in archival quality tissue and stored in sturdy boxes, avoiding vacuum seal bags. Small heirlooms need multiple layers of soft cushioning within a small, padded box placed inside a larger moving box.


Proper packing is a crucial time investment that ensures the safety of your most valued possessions during transit.
