One of the most exciting changes in your life is finding that perfect home or perfect apartment. It is so much fun starting all over again. The hardest part can be packing everything up correctly.
The worst thing to do is quickly pack everything up without really paying attention to what we are doing. It is usually situations like that that we find that after the move, when we open our boxes, our glass is broken. Here are some tips that Ive been able to find to make sure that our glass makes it safety to our new house.
First, find good cushion packing wrap. There are so many to choose from and every type will have fit to different needs. Ive used newspapers and a lot of paper before to give it a good cushion space.
The next good tip would be to make sure that you have the right size box for what you are packing. You dont want it moving around a lot. I usually keep the boxes that I buy them in so that I have exactly what I need.
That leads us to our next tip. If you have a lot of glass items that you would like to pack together, make sure that you wrap them all separately. You cant have anything loose. This means you also should be packing the box with a lot of paper or some kind of cushion so that all things in the box are prevented from moving.
Never use tape to tape certain glass items together. The tape will leave a sticky residue that will take long hours of hand washing to take it off. Just wrap things up tightly.
Mark all fragile boxes. This may sound like a no brainer but you will be surprised at how many times youll forget when all the packing starts. Its so important to have these things marked for yourself or for those that are helping you move.
If you are moving and packing yourself, these tips are sure to be a guide to success. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming trying to pack and move all by yourself, Ive found a lot of success with hiring professional movers. They really took the stress out of it.
