Got2Move (415 936 4109) releases a new guide for first-time movers on the vital topic of safely packing fragile items. The document covers materials, techniques, and best practices for protecting valuables during relocation.

San Francisco, United States, August 10, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Got2Move has released a guide to address a critical challenge for first-time movers: protecting valuables during relocations. The release comes as fragile items continue to represent a significant source of moving-related insurance claims, highlighting the need for proper packing techniques.

As such, Got2Move’s guide provides actionable solutions that demonstrate the company’s expertise in helping people safeguard their belongings throughout the moving process. Specifically, the resource outlines materials and techniques for protecting valuables during a move, including dish pack boxes, sturdy double-walled containers, packing paper, and bubble wrap.

“We do not recommend using old towels, sheets, or small linens for packing breakable items,” advises the guide. "They are not reliable or strong enough to protect breakables.”

The document also features detailed tips for handling fragile items such as dishes, mirrors, flat-screen TVs, and electronics. Pertinently, it emphasizes industry best practices such as proper labeling, weight distribution with heavier objects at the bottom of boxes, and individually wrapping delicate objects to prevent shifting.

One of the most pressing warnings noted in the guide is that improper packing carries significant risk. To prevent handling accidents and box failure, then, many crews recommend that boxes containing fragile items should ideally weigh around 30 pounds - though a general maximum of 50 pounds is widely accepted. Such thresholds, combined with the use of appropriate cushioning materials and strategic placement, reduce the likelihood of damage that leads to insurance claims and overall dissatisfaction, says the document.

And yet, while the guide is primarily aimed at those who prefer to pack independently, Got2Move also highlights the role that professional packing teams play while employing these same techniques. For instance, Got2Move cites its own usage of high-quality materials, from brand-new double-walled boxes to extra-thick corrugated dish pack boxes, anti-static bubble wrap, and protective foam.

Their spokesperson adds: “Preparing for a move can take more time than expected - especially when you need to sort, wrap, label, and protect everything properly. Got2Move provides packing services residents and businesses can use for a faster, safer relocation.”
