Packing
Packing fragile items properly.
Tableware, glasses, paintings, mirrors: our movers’ method to make sure everything arrives intact.
The right materials
- Sturdy double-wall boxes, medium-sized for tableware.
- Plain white packing paper rather than newspaper, which leaves marks.
- Bubble wrap for the most delicate items.
- Good-quality tape and a marker.
Tableware and glasses
- Wrap each piece separately.
- Stand plates on their edge, never flat.
- Fill glasses with paper before wrapping them.
- Pad the bottom and top of the box and fill the gaps: nothing should move when the box is lifted.
Paintings and mirrors
- Protect the corners with cardboard corner guards.
- Wrap them in bubble wrap, then in a suitable flat box.
- Always transport them upright, never flat.
- Point out valuable works of art during the visit: we plan suitable protection.
Label your boxes
Write « fragile », which way is up and the destination room on two sides. Never overload a box: books go in small boxes, never in large ones.
No time? Our crews can pack all or part of your home, with materials supplied.
