Packing Fragile Items for a Safe Brisbane Relocation

🥴 Don’t Let Your Next Brisbane Move End in Broken Glass

Moving fragile items — like TVs, mirrors, wine glasses, or family heirlooms — is one of the most stressful parts of relocating. All it takes is one sharp turn or bumpy ramp and your box of "kitchen stuff" turns into shards.

The solution? Learn how to pack fragile items properly — and book removalists in Brisbane who treat your belongings with care.

📦 Fragile Items Most at Risk During a Move

Here’s what usually gets damaged:

  • 🖥️ Computer monitors and TVs

  • 🍷 Glassware, plates, and fine china

  • 🪞 Mirrors and framed prints

  • 🕯️ Decorative candles and ornaments

  • 🖼️ Artworks and canvases

  • đź’ˇ Lamps, shades, and vases

  • 🎸 Instruments and electronics

If it’s glass, ceramic, or sentimental — it needs more than just bubble wrap.

âś… How to Pack Fragile Items the Right Way

  1. Use double-walled boxes for strength

  2. Wrap each item individually with bubble wrap or packing paper

  3. Add padding at the bottom and top of each box

  4. Label the box clearly: “FRAGILE – THIS SIDE UP”

  5. Don’t overpack boxes (they’ll crush under weight)

  6. Use towels, clothes, or pillows as extra padding

  7. Keep fragile boxes separate from furniture in the truck

Want to avoid packing altogether? Some Brisbane removalists offer professional packing services. You can filter for that when comparing options.

🧠 Should You Move Fragile Items Yourself?

If something’s irreplaceable — like a wedding photo frame, antique item, or limited-edition art piece — you may prefer to move it in your own vehicle.

Otherwise, use movers experienced in handling fragile loads.

🧽 Combine Your Move With a Clean Exit

Fragile packing takes time, which means less time for cleaning. If you’re ending a lease or selling a home, save time by booking a bond clean through us:
