Your Moving Guide: Keeping Your Keepsakes Safe Your picture frames and other framed items are probably one of the most important things you will need to pack. They contain mementos and remembrances that mean a lot to you. So it only follows that extra care must be made when packing these items so that you won't be greeted with cracks and damage when you open the box at your new home. Like all breakables, you are best secure when you use bubble wrap. You can also buy some cardboard protectors for the corners before putting it inside the bubble wrap. Make sure that the wrap is secured with packaging tape. Only then do you put it inside a box and label it with ‘Fragile' to alert your movers that breakable items are inside. Make sure to line the sides with extra cardboard or Styrofoam and fill the gaps with crumpled newspaper and / or packing peanuts. It is also recommended that instead of stacking your frames on top of each other, it would be better if you placed them side by side. This will minimize the chances of damage, as your frames can better withstand pressure when they are side by side compared to if they are stacked on top of each other.
