Guide to Packing Breakables/Gerber Moving & Storage, Inc.The best way to ensure extremely fragile items such as valuable crystal glassware, china sets, and even glasses for everyday use will arrive safely is to make sure they are packaged properly, as you will look forward to using them as soon as you arrive in your new kitchen.

Before handing over boxes with fragile items to Gerber Movers, make sure all breakables are packed correctly. A great idea is to place dish towels in the empty spaces of these boxes. For more fragile items, there are many products you can wrap them in such as bubble wrap and cushion wrap. You can also place a pillow or other soft item in the bottom of the box.

Sturdy items like coffee mugs can be wrapped in several layers of newspaper or packing paper. If you pack them close together in a box there will be less chance of damage, as the items don’t have much room to shift.

By marking boxes containing breakables with a dark, broad tip marker your Gerber movers will know to give these boxes the careful attention they deserve.
