How to Pack Frames & Mirrors

You may feel more comfortable hiring professional packers to pack your framed items, but with the proper supplies and preparation, packing pictures, frames, art, and mirrors is easy to do yourself.

Supplies needed:

  • Picture boxes
  • Blank newsprint
  • Masking tape

Instructions:

  1. Begin by taping a large "X" with masking tape across the front glass surface of the mirror or art.
  2. Line an empty picture box with blank newsprint for added cushioning.
  3. Wrap the piece in blank newsprint.
  4. If space allows, group two pictures or mirrors in each picture box.  Face the glass sides toward each other, with some newsprint in-between to reinforce the empty space. Particularly valuable mirrors and artwork should be crated separately.
  5. Fill empty space with newsprint to restrict movement.
  6. Tape the box shut.  Mark the box “FRAGILE” and draw an arrow pointing up to designate the top.
