You have invested a lot of money in acquiring your antique furniture, so you might be skeptical about entrusting it to just any company when relocating. A bumpy ride in a moving truck can be all its takes to damage an item that is not properly packed. Most household items can be replaced if broken or damaged during a move, but most times, no amount of money can replace the sentimental value of your antiques. For this reason, all efforts must be made to ensure their safety while relocating.
It starts with choosing the right moving company. You need a professional moving company with an in-depth knowledge of how to handle these items and ensure they arrive unharmed. The good news is that you don’t have to handle it on your own. At All Edgewater Movers, we specialized in full-service moving for New Jersey residents.
With our trained movers and packers, we’ll help you get your fragile items to your new location without a scratch. Whether you choose to rely on our professional movers or you want to pack your antique furniture on your own, look at the top strategies for antique furniture moving from our team at All Edgewater Movers.
Pack Them with Their Value in Mind
It is important to pack your fragile items carefully. Wrap the larger items like bureau, chairs, sofas, desks, armoire, and canopy beds with furniture pads, blankets, or sturdy foam to protect them from scratches, dents, and breaking. Use lots of air bubble packing around breakable items and secure the air bubble packing with packing tape.
Make Plastic Wrap Your Best Friend
This simple and clingy material is an important material to have when packing your antique furniture. Not only will it protect your furniture from damage during transport, but it will also help condense large items like china cabinets so you can have more space in your truck for other items. A plastic wrap is tear-resistant, and it helps to add an extra layer of protection for your valuable items.
Custom Crating
When moving priceless furniture, damage must be avoided at all costs. Big items like tables, dining room credenza, and bedroom sets cannot be shipped on their own. With custom crates, you have the chance of getting a precise shape and size for your items. Besides, custom crates do not require excessive padding, and they create only a little mess. Custom crates are strong, and you can easily recycle them for your next move. Whether you are trying to preserve your artworks or big furniture items, wooden crates give you the confidence that your package will be delivered in excellent condition.
Here are just some of the useful strategies for transporting your antique furniture. When it is great to have some basic knowledge about packing priceless items, it is best to leave this task to experienced professionals while you focus on other details of your move.
