When it comes time to move from one home into another, there are a lot of odds and ends that you'll need to pack into different boxes. When you're moving from one city to another in the same state or moving somewhere new in the same city, the way you pack your stuff may not be such a big deal since you will be unpacking it shortly. But for a long distance move, such as a coast-to-coast move, you will need to pack items carefully for a long trip, especially fragile items. Here are a few tips for packing fragile items. First, get all of the supplies you will need: sturdy boxes, sheets of bubble wrap, and rolls of butcher paper. These will be essential. Every box you pack with fragile items should be carefully cushioned on all sides. Start by placing a sheet of bubble wrap at the bottom of the box before you start filling it up. Butcher paper can be an excellent cushioning material when packing up plates, china, cups, dishes, pitchers, etc. Some people use newspaper but the ink on newspaper can rub off on your items so butcher paper is often a better choice. When packing up your kitchen, a great way to cushion fragile items and pack your kitchen towels and washcloths is to wrap them around the fragile items before putting them in the box. Liquor boxes make excellent boxes for fragile items because they are sturdy and often come with cardboard inserts for separating glassware. Once you've filled up a box, place another sheet of bubble wrap on top, tape up the box, and label each side clearly as fragile so your long distance movers will know to handle it carefully.
