When packing for a move, you probably already know your heavy items should go in small boxes, and you can keep your clothes on the hangers to make moving them easier. However, you might not know the best methods for packing your valuable items. Below are a few tips the Rochester, NY, movers at Caccamise Moving suggest you follow to protect your priceless pieces.

3 Moving Tips for Packing Valuables

1. Keep Jewelry and other Valuables in Your Possession

Most professional movers recommend keeping any expensive jewelry you own with you instead of putting in the moving truck. This is to prevent the chains of your necklaces and bracelets getting tangled with other pieces and causing damage. A couple tricks you could implement include slipping delicate chains through a straw and wrapping thicker chains with toilet paper.

2.  Wrap Them Up

Use packing paper and bubble wrap to wrap up your valuable china and other breakables or to provide a buffer between pieces. Just make sure to steer clear of using newspaper, as the ink can rub off onto your items.

3. Be Thorough With Labels

Ensure your moving company knows what is in each and every one of your boxes by adding clear, detailed labels. These should state the contents are fragile.
