🎨 Handle Fragile and Valuable Items With Care
Whether it’s family heirlooms, artwork, or expensive electronics, fragile and high-value items deserve extra attention. A few careful steps can protect your belongings and your peace of mind during a move.
📦 Step 1: Gather the Right Materials
Start with strong boxes, soft wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and sturdy tape. Avoid using newspaper since the ink can rub off on delicate surfaces.
For electronics, use the original packaging if you still have it. If not, wrap items in anti-static materials and cushion them with foam or padding.
🖼️ Step 2: Wrap Each Item Individually
Wrap every fragile item separately so they do not touch each other inside the box. For plates or framed items, stand them vertically with padding between each piece.
Delicate items like glass, ceramics, or fine collectibles should have at least two inches of cushioning on all sides.
🚚 Step 3: Label and Load Strategically
Label each box “Fragile” on multiple sides. When loading, keep these boxes on top of heavier ones.
Miracle Movers FLA uses careful loading methods to prevent movement and impact during transport, keeping your valuables safe from start to finish.
💡 Step 4: Protect Artwork and Antiques
Artwork and antiques often need custom wrapping or crating. Use corner protectors and heavy-duty cardboard for framed art. Keep paintings and mirrors upright and secured between padded surfaces.
Avoid plastic wrap on wood or painted finishes, which can trap moisture and cause damage.
🔒 Step 5: Keep Irreplaceable Items With You
If an item is valuable for personal or sentimental reasons, keep it in your vehicle instead of the moving truck. That includes jewelry, documents, and small heirlooms. Miracle Movers FLA recommends this for anything that cannot be easily replaced.
