Smart Storage | 4 Steps To Pack Your Fragile Coffee Mugs For The Storage Unit

If you've decided to move away temporarily or if you're planning to renovate your home, then you'll need a storage facility to keep all your belongings for the short term. Your fragile items like glasses, plates and coffee mugs need special care and attention to ensure that they remain damage-free in the storage unit. This guide will equip you with step-by-step instructions to pack fragile coffee mugs for storage.

Wrap Each Coffee Mug Individually

You will need to begin the wrapping process by stuffing the interior of your coffee mug with paper. Once done, use wrapping paper to cover all coffee mugs individually. Avoid packing them together because they could break if they come into direct contact with each other. Packing them individually will also help them to withstand any impact when the box moves around in transit.

Prepare The Cardboard Box For Safe Transport

Before placing the coffee mugs inside the cardboard box, be sure to place a layer of crumpled packing paper or bubble wrap at the bottom. This will provide added cushioning and will prevent the coffee mugs from coming into contact with the ground. Make sure the cardboard box is sturdy. To ensure that it doesn't open from the bottom with the weight of the coffee mugs, seal the box base with masking tape. You should ideally purchase cardboard boxes with individual compartments. This will ensure that every mug remains protected inside the box.

Place Coffee Mugs Inside Box

Place each coffee mug inside the cardboard box gently into the compartments. If you're using a regular cardboard box, simply place them into the box and fill all empty or hollow spaces with packing paper. Make sure you put adequate packing paper inside the box to snugly fit all your coffee mugs. This will prevent the mugs from moving around when they are being transported to the storage unit.

Seal The Box And Mark Fragile

Before you place the cardboard box in the truck, be sure to seal it properly with masking tape to ensure that it doesn't come undone while in the storage unit. Mark the cardboard box as fragile, and list down the items so that your removalists or transporters know that it needs more care when loaded and unloaded. Make sure that no items are placed above the box because the heavy weight of other boxes could end up damaging your fragile coffee mugs.

Follow these smart steps when packing your fragile coffee mugs for the storage unit.
