How to pack pictures?

Hello Tara, I can help you understand how to pack photo frames for shipping. We moved from Vikhroli to Mulund East a month ago. We packed all our items along with a lot of photo frames in cardboard boxes. So, I am aware of the process.

How to Pack a Photo Frame?

1. Start by picking the right box size for your frames. For smaller-sized frames, choose a smaller box and so on. If you’re not able to find the right-sized box, you’ll have to cushion the picture frame.

2. Tape the glass in front of the frames to make a cross or an X symbol. This will help keep the glass still while moving the frames.

3. Next, wrap the frame in a couple of layers of paper and bubble wrap to cushion the frame and the glass. The whole frame should be covered in the wrap using packing tape.

4. After you have placed the frame in the box, fill any gaps with packing peanuts, which are small peanut shaped foam. 

5. Seal the box well and add a fragile label on the top of the box.

If you don't realise that packing your home for a move is the most critical task you must complete, you will most likely learn from experience. It will be more challenging for packing a full household and it will be the most time-consuming activity on your relocation schedule. So we should know the process for packing pictures for moving.

How to pack large pictures?

The availability of sufficient packing materials in the necessary amounts is one of the most critical factors of safe packaging. You may not realise it, but appropriate packing materials help significantly to the overall safety of the packing process. One of the most frequent packing mistakes that most individuals do while packing up their belongings is in a desperate effort to save money. But you should not make that mistake. So let’s see how to pack the pictures.

Ideas on packing pictures for moving:

1) Gather Boxes

When you are transporting large pictures and drawings, it's better to pack each one separately in a specific box that's larger in size than the frame you're relocating. Customised boxes might be found at a relocating goods store. If you can't find specialist boxes, dismantle and compress an old box. A box that is larger than the picture and frame is required.

2) Attach Corner Guards

You can set a corner guard on every corner of the picture while it is laying flat on a clean, firm surface. Tie the rope around each corner guard to keep the corners in place. Make a knot in the rope and pass it through the closure slot to connect the rope and buckle. If you want to fix the rope, pull the free end. If required, the extra rope can be cut after it has been secured.

3) Wrap the Items

You must tape over any pointy overhanging hooks or loose hanging cables first. You can remove any pieces that can be removed and store them safely somewhere. Cover your item with stretch wrapping to secure it from dust if it has a glass cover.

4) Pack the Items

Now you can insert the mirror or photograph inside the box. Fill cover the spaces with crushed packing papers or additional pages to protect your item from moving. You have to gently shake the box to check if more materials are required. Seal the box with tape once all of the space has been covered with foam.

This is the ideal process of packing pictures for moving.
