How to Pack Fragile Items Safely When Moving

Guides · Updated 20 May 2026

Safely packing fragile glassware and crockery for a move

Breakages happen when fragile items are rushed or under-packed. Here's how to protect your delicate belongings the way professionals do.

Use the Right Materials

  • Bubble wrap, packing paper and foam sheets
  • Sturdy double-walled cartons in the right sizes
  • Strong tape and clear 'FRAGILE' labels

Item-by-Item Tips

  • Glassware & crockery: wrap each piece individually; stack plates vertically (on edge), not flat.
  • TVs & monitors: use the original box if possible, or corner protectors + a blanket, and always move them upright.
  • Mirrors & frames: tape an X across the glass, wrap in bubble wrap and box on edge.
  • Cutlery & small items: wrap in paper and fill empty carton gaps so nothing shifts.

Golden Rules

Never leave empty space in a fragile box, fill gaps with paper. Don't overpack a carton beyond what you can lift. Label every fragile box on all sides.
