Tips to protect fragile and valuable items during the move

Here are the three main ways to ensure the safety of your items:

  • Invest in plastic bins and high-quality moving boxes
  • Get proper packing materials
  • Label every box

Invest in plastic bins and high-quality moving boxes

The first thing that you need to consider is appropriate containers for your valuables. While regular cardboard boxes are fine for most of your items, they are simply not that good for transporting either fragile or valuable items. For those, you need an extra layer of security. Therefore, the best containers for this purpose are either plastic bins or boxes of the highest quality. But the easiest way to have the maximum protection is to hire packing services from a moving company, such as Big Man’s Moving Company FL. This will both save you a lot of time and energy and provide absolute protection for your belongings. You can also ask us for any sort of packing advice, we will be glad to help!

Protect fragile and valuable items – Get proper packing materials

But having the right containers is not enough on its own. You are going to need padding for the boxes and wrapping for your items, among other things. Packing materials provide even more protection for the items inside the box. However, you need to use quality materials for delicate items. The more valuable your belongings are the higher quality of materials they require. Of course, if you opt for packing services Clearwater FL, this is yet another thing you need not worry about. We use only the highest-quality products for your fragile and valuable items. If you entrust us to handle your belongings, you can be sure that they will be well-protected!

Label every box

After everything is said and done, and your items safely in their containers, it is time to add the finishing touch. You will need to label all of the boxes that contain valuables or fragile items accordingly. This will ensure that whoever is handling them knows to take additional care. This is particularly important if you choose to go with labor-only services. Your moving crew is going to work better if they have clear instructions, after all.

Insurance

Even with all these precautions, you might want to purchase additional insurance for your belongings. Especially if you have a lot of valuable items to transport. You may think that your existing moving insurance covers everything but that is not always true. If you really want to protect fragile and valuable items, you will need to choose adequate insurance for the job.
