How the Pros Pack Fragile Items

Fragile items break from movement, not distance. Pack plates on edge rather than stacked flat, wrap each piece individually, and fill every gap so nothing shifts inside the carton.

Mirrors, artwork, and stone tops deserve custom crating. A crate costs far less than the piece it protects, and it makes stacking safe inside the truck.

Label fragile boxes on the top and two sides, and note which room they belong in. It saves handling time and keeps delicate cartons off the bottom of a stack.
