| Item type | Suggested packing | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Glassware and cups | Newsprint or paper, then carton box with padding around gaps. | Prevents knocking and movement during loading. |
| Plates and bowls | Wrap each piece and pack tightly, preferably upright for plates. | Reduces pressure cracks and rattling. |
| Decor and frames | Bubble wrap, edge protection and clear fragile label. | Helps movers identify careful-handling boxes quickly. |
| Mirrors and glass tops | Photo review first, then special wrapping or separate handling. | Flat glass can crack if stacked wrongly or pressed by heavy items. |
| Marble or stone tops | Send photos and dimensions before booking. | Heavy fragile items may need extra manpower and cannot be treated like normal furniture. |
How to label fragile boxes
Write the room name, item type and handling note on the box. For example: “Kitchen – plates – fragile – keep upright”. A box that only says “fragile” is less useful because movers still need to know where it goes and how heavy it is.
If you do not have suitable cartons, read the moving boxes Singapore guide or compare box packing service Singapore. Tip Top Movers packing support starts from S$8 per box depending on scope and materials.
What not to leave loose on moving day
- Loose plates, cups or glassware in open bags.
- Picture frames stacked without padding.
- Mirrors leaning at walkways without labels.
- Marble tops still attached to unstable furniture.
- TVs, monitors and lamps with cables still tangled.
Before booking: If the item has glass, marble, existing damage, sentimental value or very high replacement cost, send photos first. The mover can advise whether normal moving, packing services Singapore or special handling is more appropriate.
