There are many ways to protect fragile items from harm. Wrapping glass and other valuables in newspaper, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, or cushioned inserts that come with boxes purchased through moving companies will help protect them during the loading, unloading, and transportation stages of your move.

When placing glass and other fragile items into a box, line the bottom of the box with newspaper or bubble wrap. Completely cover the items in wrapping material and place them carefully into the box. Do not pack too many items in one box. Make sure the box can be sealed completely before placing in the moving truck.

You may be able to buy moving insurance when using a moving company. This insurance will cover any damage to items up to a certain limit. If moving across the country to internationally, this insurance is a good investment.
