While our professional Toronto movers take steps
to help protect items while in transit, you still
need to verify you have packed them properly to
protect them from vibrations, stacking, and other
movements that could cause damage.

1. Use the right size moving boxes.
It is important to pack items in the right size
boxes. People make the mistake of getting the
largest boxes they can find when preparing for a
move.

The problem with this, is larger boxes are not
well-suited for fragile and heavy items. Instead,
you need to use smaller boxes for fragile and
heavy items.

Smaller boxes ensure the weights do not become
overly excessive, as well as makes it easy to pad
and protect fragile belongings.

Great for books, DVDs, CDs, heavy items, dishes,
glassware, and other fragile items.

2. Use bubble wrap, foam padding, foam peanuts or
other padding for fragile items.
You need to wrap fragile items up in some form of
protective padding to avoid breakage.

Bubble wrap works great for most items. There are
also special types of padding you can use with
dishes and glasses.

3. Prep furniture by wrapping it in furniture
pads.
You will want to obtain furniture pads from your
professional Toronto moving company to wrap up
larger furniture pieces and protect the finish
from damage during the move.

4. Inform your mover of any artwork, paintings or
mirrors that need moved.
With these types of items, they need to be kept
upright during the move.

In addition, they need to be protected with
padding or art work boxes. For smaller pieces,
there could be special shaped boxes you can use
that also includes foam inserts.

5. Do not leave boxes partially empty.
When a box is not fully packed, the contents can
move around and could get damaged. It is better
to fully pack the box.

If you do have boxes that are not full, you
either need to use a smaller box or make sure the
space is filled in with foam peanuts, wrapping
paper, and other padding.

6. Write a summary of the contents on the outside
of the box.
While writing the room or using colour coded
stickers of where you want the box unpacked in
your new home is useful information for the
movers, you also need to include a summary of the
contents.

This will let your movers know if there is
anything fragile inside and assist them in
ensuring it is packed in the right location on
the truck.
