How to Pack Fragile Items

Packing fragile items can be tedious, but protecting your valuables is worth the time. Follow these steps for packing any fragile or delicate item, such as china, glass, or crystal pieces.

Supplies needed:

  • Small boxes
  • Packaging peanuts
  • Bubble wrap
  • Blank newsprint
  • Tape

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing a small box by taping the bottom and adding a layer of packaging peanuts.
  2. If the surface of the item is painted, wrap it in blank newsprint to protect the finish.
  3. Wrap the item in bubble wrap and seal with tape.
  4. Place the items in the box and fill empty space with packaging peanuts.
  5. Once the box is well packed, not overstuffed, tape it shut and label it “FRAGILE” on the top and side.
