But, make sure you finalize a team of moving professionals from Agarwal Packers for the assignment before you get into the crux of this comprehensive manual!

Let’s begin:

• Start with inventorying all china items

Ahead of getting started with the packing task, you must, at first figure out, which are the ones you are planning to pack and move. Note that packing everything, without even evaluating them could cause you to move extra – including the broken, damaged, and unnecessary ones. So, sort out your chinaware items concerning their condition and usage. The ones that you rarely use and those that are outdated and could be sold out for some extra money should be considered for disposal and sale respectively. Your final inventory of items should have only those items that you would be needing in the future.

• Order/Buy everything you will need

The packing task would require you to have most importantly a couple of things – first, the entire packing materials kit and secondly, clean, open space where you will pack your stuff. While the latter one can be managed pretty easily, the former ones have to be done well so you can come across high-quality products at reasonable rates. Remember, packing any fragile item or specialty objects in your household calls for an ample amount of packing gear (materials) because you need to provide the best protection to these delicate pieces so they reach your new home intact. Some of the key packing items you must have, include double-duty packaging tape, double layered moving cartons, high-quality cardboard boxes in different sizes, bubble wraps, packing paper, foam peanuts, moving blankets, etc.

• Be careful and deliberate while packing

If you have never dealt with any sort of crucial packing task before, you need to be cautious because packing fragile items is both a tough job and a time-consuming assignment. So, draw out a plan as to how you wish to start the packing task and then work on it. Sort out items as per their fragility and size. Group similar items together to make it quickly. Never pack plates, glasses, or other similar things in the bunch. Every item should be wrapped alone. Begin by adding double coats of packing paper, followed by a coat of bubble wraps to provide them with a layer of insulation and protect them from transit disturbances. Never use newspaper as a substitute for packing paper as they might leave imprints on the smooth, white finishes of the chinaware. Seal everything properly with tapes.
• If not sure, seek professionals’ assistance

Packing and moving fragile china is a risky job. Rather than trying a DIY move or hiring a local mover for your relocation job, make sure you research and hire an expert team of movers who can make your job sorted, planned, and easy. Also, by doing this, you won’t jeopardize your precious articles in any way. Moving professionals are well-versed with the best relocation techniques to provide you with a seamless service.

• Have full-fledged moving insurance

Purchasing full-coverage moving insurance is a must. So, while you discuss things with the moving professionals from Agarwal Packers and Movers, do not forget to clarify your insurance policy to know more about the reimbursement aspects. Never consider your moving insurance as an added cost, but rather as an investment that you’re making for the wellbeing of your belongings in the transit, that stay prone to certain unforeseen situations for a longer time.

• Double-check the moving boxes & label

Before the moving cartons are being shifted into the moving vehicle, double-check the moving boxes thoroughly. See if the boxes are sealed properly with packaging tapes. Hold the carton in your hands and try to move it gently to see if the items within it are moving even a little. If you find them slightly shifting from their place, it means there is quite some space left within the cartons that needs to be sealed. So, check for the same and fill them using packing peanuts or packing paper. And, make sure every moving carton is labeled correctly with handling instructions, item name, package number, and room name.

• Know how to arrange moving cartons

Fine china must be moved and arranged into the moving vehicle with equal diligence and care. Though you will have your moving experts with you for the job, you can still make an effort to arrange the cartons within the moving truck on your own. You can keep the boxes as you want to, but make sure to follow the right measures. The heavier cartons must be placed at the bottom and the lighter, smaller ones must be kept over them. A little bit of jerk and jolt is part and parcel of moves, but make sure that does not damage your belongings in any way. Seal every possible space within the boxes and also the gaps between two boxes within the truck.
