---


Packing delicate frames and mirrors for a move can be a daunting task. At Highway Men Moving, we understand the value of these cherished items, and we're dedicated to making your move as stress-free as possible. In this blog post, we'll share expert tips to ensure your frames and mirrors arrive at your new destination in perfect condition.



Tips for packing frames and mirrors


1. Gather the Right Supplies


Before you begin packing, make sure you have the necessary supplies on hand:


- Mirror boxes: Invest in special boxes designed for mirrors and artwork.

- Packing paper: Use clean, unprinted paper to wrap the items.

- Bubble wrap: Wrap fragile frames and mirrors generously.

- Packing tape: Choose a strong packing tape to secure items.

- Corner protectors: Prevent damage to delicate corners with protectors.


2. Clean and Prepare the Items


Clean your frames and mirrors thoroughly before packing. This helps prevent dirt or debris from scratching the glass or frames during the move. Let the items dry completely before wrapping them.


3. Wrap Each Item Individually


Wrap each frame or mirror individually with bubble wrap or packing paper. Pay special attention to the corners and edges, as these are the most vulnerable areas. Secure the wrapping with packing tape.


4. Use Mirror Boxes


Mirror boxes are designed to protect frames and mirrors. Place each wrapped item inside a mirror box and secure it with packing tape. For larger items, you can tape two boxes together.


5. Label Boxes Clearly


Label each box containing frames or mirrors as "Fragile." This will alert movers to handle these boxes with extra care. Be sure to indicate the orientation ("This Side Up") for fragile items.


6. Secure and Pad Inside the Moving Truck


When loading the moving truck, place mirror boxes upright and against the truck's walls. Fill any gaps with soft items like pillows or blankets to minimize movement during transit.


7. Mark as High-Priority Items


Clearly mark boxes containing frames and mirrors as high-priority items. This will ensure they are among the first to be unloaded and carefully placed in your new home.


8. Hire Professionals for Added Peace of Mind
