Pictures carry some of our most cherished and prized memories. They are often irreplaceable and priceless in the eyes of the owners. For these pictures you want to frame them in something special, unique, and that looks good. Moving often presents a challenge for the pictures as things can get lost in the shuffle, thrown around, and chipped or scraped. Contact us to know more about how to protect pictures during move.
Follow this easy step-by-step guide to pack pictures and frames, avoiding chipped corners and broken glass.
- Choose a box that is bigger than the picture and frame that you are trying to pack.
- If you have already put the box together, break it apart; otherwise, keep the box flat.
- Tape some masking or packaging tape and tape one end of the box securely.
- Take your picture and place it in its frame on an oversized piece of bubble wrap.
- Wrap the picture with bubble wrap, just like wrapping a gift. Secure the bubble wrap with packaging tape.
- Using your flat and tapped box, slide the picture into the opening of that box. Take the open end and seal it with some more packaging tape.
- Mark the box as “Fragile” with a sharpie and specify where movers should place it in your new house to ensure they handle your pictures with care.
- You can not guarantee that the picture will not hit or tossed around during the move. When packing the box in the truck make sure to keep the picture on its side and not flat. This is preserve the picture as it will be able to absorb pressure easier on its side or edge rather than when flat.
