Moving internationally is an exciting experience, but ensuring your fragile items arrive safely at your new destination requires careful planning and proper packing techniques. At BPL Relocations, we specialize in secure international moving services from Jubail, Dammam, Riyadh, and Jeddah to major destinations such as the USA, UK, and Canada. Follow these expert tips to pack your fragile belongings safely and avoid damage during transit.

1. Gather High-Quality Packing Materials

Using the right materials is crucial to protecting fragile items. Invest in:

  • Sturdy moving boxes – Preferably double-walled for extra protection.
  • Bubble wrap and foam sheets – To cushion delicate objects.
  • Packing peanuts – To fill empty spaces and prevent shifting.
  • Heavy-duty packing tape – To secure boxes properly.
  • Fragile stickers and labels – To alert movers to handle with care.

2. Wrap Each Item Individually

To prevent breakage, wrap every fragile item separately:

  • Use bubble wrap or foam padding for delicate surfaces.
  • Wrap glassware and ceramics with multiple layers.
  • Secure items with tape or stretch film to keep the wrapping in place.
  • Fill hollow items (such as vases) with crumpled paper to reinforce their structure.

3. Choose the Right Box and Packing Method

Not all boxes are suitable for fragile items. Consider these tips:

  • Small boxes work best for heavy fragile items (e.g., dishes and glassware).
  • Compartmentalized boxes are ideal for wine bottles and collectibles.
  • Custom crates provide additional protection for high-value items such as artwork or electronics.
  • Always reinforce the bottom of each box with extra tape to prevent accidents.

4. Use Layered Cushioning Inside the Box

Proper cushioning inside the box minimizes movement and impact damage:

  • Start with a soft base layer (bubble wrap or foam padding) at the bottom.
  • Place wrapped items individually and upright with space in between.
  • Fill gaps with packing peanuts, paper, or foam to prevent shifting.
  • Add another protective layer on top before sealing the box.

5. Label Boxes Clearly and Correctly

Proper labeling ensures your fragile items receive extra care during transit:

  • Use “Fragile” and “This Side Up” stickers on multiple sides of the box.
  • Indicate the contents and room destination for easier unpacking.
  • Use color-coded labels for quick identification during customs inspections.

6. Consider Professional Packing Services

If you have valuable or delicate belongings, professional packing is a wise investment. BPL Relocations offers expert packing services, ensuring:
