Packing Your Mirror

A mirror is something everyone has in their home. Us as human beings love to look at ourselves, so of course when we’re moving, we are going to take our beloved mirror/s. It’s important that you pack and move your mirrors in the correct way, so no damage is done. As you know they are very fragile. The first thing to be done is to make sure you have the correct packing materials: – mirror box (there are different sizes to buy online or in stores) – kraft paper – cardboard – bubble wrap – painter’s tape – packing tape – permanent marker

After laying your mirror down you are going to grab your painter’s tape and make an “X” across the entire reflective front of the mirror. Then you will grab your cardboard and cut it into the exact size of the mirror and cover and tape it together. The next steps would be to wrap it in kraft paper, tape, bubble wrap it, and tape again. This will ensure that your mirror is extra protected. The last things to do are to put the mirror, all wrapped up, in the mirror box, tape the box, and label it. If the mirror box leaves extra space, you should stuff the kraft paper in those spaces, so the mirror isn’t shifting around in the box. If you feel nervous about doing the whole process you can always call a professional packing company and they will be happy to do it for you.
