How to Handle Breakables and Valuables When Moving

If you are moving to a new residence soon then you may be beginning the process of packing up your belongings.

This can be a tedious process and while you may begin to get tired of packing you want to make sure you take care when packing up your breakables and valuables.

Make sure you give yourself enough time to prepare before your Gainesville movers come to sweep your boxes away to your new location.

Wrap Separately

While it may be tempting to get the job done quickly and pack items together in one piece of wrap, you will want to take your time and wrap each item separately before your movers come. Any small amount of friction between two items can cause a crack or breakage in a fragile item.

Make sure there’s also enough padding in between wrapped items. When your hired Gainesville moving company comes along and begins to move your boxes you can rest assured they are not only being careful with your boxed items but you can be confident the items inside are perfectly safe and will make the move unharmed.

Wrap Types

You can use a couple of different wrappings when you are packing breakables. Bubble wrap is usually the best because you can not only wrap it around an item but the air-filled bubbles provide a protective padding.

Even if a box is jostled around a bit, each item should be protected from itself and should be perfectly safe.

Newspaper and tissue paper are okay as a buffer in between items like dishes or mugs but be prepared to use a lot of it. You are likely better off investing in some bubble wrap because you will need a smaller amount and it will be more affordable.

You can hire a company like Gainesville Moving to not only move your items but also pack them up. Gainesville Movers will properly handle and pack your items to make sure they safely arrive where you need them all in one piece.

This is a great service that can save you a lot of stress and time. When you are relocating miles away or just up the road it is very time consuming and finding a way to reduce the work load is a great option.
