How To Pack Full Length Mirror For Moving

• I gathered moving blankets, bubble wrap, packing tape, cardboard, and a large box.

• Cleaned the mirror’s surface with a soft cloth, and ensured it was completely dry before packing.

• Laid the mirror face down on a moving blanket, and covered the mirror with a layer of bubble wrap. Secured it with packing tape, but I avoided taping directly to the mirror’s surface to prevent adhesive damage.

• Used cut pieces of cardboard to fit the corners of the mirror, and taped these pieces to the corners for extra protection against impact.

• Now, I placed the wrapped mirror inside the large box, and filled the gaps with packing peanuts to prevent movement.

• Clearly labelled the box as “Fragile” and indicated the correct orientation with “This Side Up” stickers.

• When moving, I ensured the mirror was placed upright and secured properly in the truck to avoid movements.
