Ensuring the safety of your fragile items during transportation and storage can be challenging. Items such as ceramics, electronics, and glassware require extra care to prevent damage.

📦Filling Empty Spaces

If you are storing your fragile items in boxes, be sure to fill the empty spaces with packing peanuts or crumpled paper helps prevent items from shifting during transportation or storage. 

📦Label Boxes Appropriately

By clearing labeling your boxes that contain fragile items, it alerts you or your movers to handle the boxes with care.

Depending on the items that you need to store, climate-controlled units should be considered for those items that require stable temperatures and humidity levels.

When unloading your items into your storage unit, be sure to load the heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top to prevent crushing. Don't stack the boxes too high and don't forget to leave aisles for easy access.
