Packing Breakables for a Move: Smart Tips & Tricks

Stallion is happy to pack all your items, just your breakables, or specific rooms – we customize moves to your needs. But if you choose to pack yourself, we have some tips to make it easier!

Packing can be a huge chore, especially when you feel overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to do in a short time. If you like the idea of killing two birds with one stone, we suggest using soft t-shirts, scarves, blankets, and towels to wrap your breakables!

When packing plates, glasses, fragile knick-knacks, and anything else delicate, use what you have on hand to provide an extra layer of protection inside the carton!

Bonus: You’ll also have packed a lot of the clothing and linens you might not use regularly!
