Packing Small Items

Packing small items can sometimes be as difficult as packing larger items because they are fragile and can break easily. If you have knickknacks, antiques, figurines, or other small items such as pictures and vases, and music boxes, taking the time to wrap them properly can help protect them during a move. Instead of putting all items on top or each other in a large box, smaller boxes will keep them from becoming scratched or dented.

There are a variety of materials you can use to wrap small pieces. Layers of newspaper, bubble wrap, cloth, or storing items in plastic containers are options that are available. Some small items that are valuable may even have their own travel cases. Wrap each piece individually to keep them safe. Place newspaper when layering items on top of one another and don?t overfill the box. Write ‘fragile’ on top and put it in the moving truck last so other items cannot fall on top of it.
