Fragile Item Packing: Tellus Self Storage
Moving or storing fragile belongings doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re packing up glassware, antiques, electronics, or family heirlooms, the right techniques can make all the difference in keeping your items from breaking. At Tellus Self Storage, we know how important your valuables are, and we’re here to help with expert packing tips and secure storage solutions.
Why Proper Packing Matters
Fragile items are vulnerable to cracks, chips, and breaks during transport or while in storage. Taking extra care now saves you the heartache of damaged belongings later. By using the right materials and packing strategies, you’ll protect your items and have peace of mind knowing they’re secure inside your storage unit.
Packing Tips for Fragile Items
1. Use the Right Materials
- Sturdy boxes: Choose double-walled or heavy-duty boxes for better protection.
- Padding: Bubble wrap, packing paper, and foam peanuts help absorb shock.
- Dividers: Perfect for glassware, dishes, and bottles to prevent contact.
2. Wrap Items Individually
Each fragile piece should be wrapped separately in bubble wrap or packing paper. For glassware, stuff the inside with crumpled paper to reduce empty space.
3. Label Clearly
Always mark boxes containing fragile items with “FRAGILE” and “THIS SIDE UP” to avoid accidents during moving and unloading.
4. Pack Tightly (But Safely)
Fill empty spaces with packing paper, foam, or even soft items like towels. This prevents shifting during transport or while stored in your unit.
5. Stack Smart
When placing boxes in your Tellus storage unit, keep fragile boxes on top and avoid stacking anything heavy on them.
