To pack a picture frame with glass, use packing paper on a flat surface. The paper should be twice the size of the frame. Center the frame on the paper. Apply packing tape in an “X” shape on the glass for shattering prevention. Wrap the paper around the frame securely and tape it closed for added glass protection.
Next, wrap the picture frame itself in bubble wrap. Ensure you cover all edges and corners. Use extra layers for fragile areas. Place the wrapped frame between two pieces of cardboard for added protection. Secure the cardboard with tape.
Label each package as “Fragile” to alert handlers. If you pack multiple frames, keep them separated with foam sheets or cardboard dividers. This prevents them from scratching each other.
For shipping, choose a sturdy box that fits the frames snugly. Fill any excess space with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to stabilize the contents. Seal the box well.
Proper packing of picture frames with glass ensures they arrive safely at their destination. Following these easy tips minimizes the risk of damage. Next, we will discuss best practices for unpacking these delicate items safely.
