1. Wrap individually, not in bulk. Every fragile item should get its own layer of bubble wrap or packing paper — never rely on a shared layer of padding between stacked items.
2. Fill every gap. Movement inside a box is what causes breakage, not the outside impact itself. Use crumpled paper or foam to fill any space so nothing can shift during transit.
3. Use double-wall boxes for heavier fragile items. A single-wall box can flex under weight; double-wall corrugated boxes hold their shape far better for glassware, electronics and small appliances.
4. Keep electronics upright and original-boxed where possible. TVs, monitors and similar items are more vulnerable lying flat, and manufacturer packaging is usually engineered specifically for that item's weight distribution.
5. Mark it clearly and load it last. A box marked "Fragile — This Side Up" should also be loaded onto the truck last, so it comes off first and isn't buried under heavier boxes for the whole journey.
