Moving to a new home can be both exciting and challenging, but transporting delicate items like pictures and mirrors can add stress. These sentimental and valuable pieces require special care and attention to ensure they arrive at your new destination unharmed. Packing them right is essential to safeguard them throughout the moving process. In this guide, we will provide you with valuable tips on how to pack pictures and mirrors for your move, ensuring they reach your new abode in pristine condition.<\/span><\/p>\n Before you start packing, ensure you have all the necessary supplies at hand. These may include:<\/span><\/p>\n Start by measuring your pictures and mirrors to determine the appropriate box sizes. Disassemble larger frames, if possible, to reduce their size and make them easier to pack. Once you have boxes, line the bottom with crumpled packing paper or bubble wrap to create a cushion.<\/span><\/p>\n Take your time to wrap each picture or mirror individually. Lay the item face down on a clean, flat surface, and start by placing corner protectors on all four corners. Next, cover the front with bubble wrap or packing paper, ensuring there are no exposed areas. Secure the wrapping with packing tape, but avoid taping directly on the surface of the frames or mirrors to prevent damage.<\/span><\/p>\n For added security, place a sheet of cardboard on the wrapped front surface before gently turning it over. This will provide extra protection against accidental bumps or impacts during transit.<\/span><\/p>\n Carefully slide the wrapped picture or mirror into the appropriate box, making sure it fits snugly. If you are packing multiple items in one box, separate them with additional cardboard sheets or bubble wrap to avoid contact between frames.<\/span><\/p>\n Fill any remaining gaps inside the box with packing peanuts or Styrofoam to minimize movement. Once the box is packed, close and seal it securely with packing tape. Label the box as “Fragile” and include a brief description of the contents.<\/span><\/p>\n When moving day arrives, load the boxes containing pictures and mirrors with utmost care. Always place them upright and never stack heavy items on top of them. Use soft materials like blankets or pillows to provide cushioning around the boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n Packing pictures and mirrors for a move requires meticulous attention to detail and proper materials. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure the safe transportation of your cherished items, allowing you to focus on settling into your new home with peace of mind. <\/span>Visit <\/span>UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Las Vegas<\/span><\/a>, or call us at (702) 602-6015 for excellent service and a free quote!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to Pack Pictures and Mirrors for Your Move Moving to a new home can be both exciting and challenging, but transporting delicate items like pictures and mirrors can add stress.
