How to Pack a Large Mirror to Move

At the very least, one large mirror is in every house, usually more than one. One is within the bedrooms (of course) and one located in the hallway (corridor) near the entrance to the home or apartment, and occasionally an additional mirror in the living room or in the spare bedroom.

Mirrors play a crucial part in our lives and, without doubt, are utilized daily. This is why when you are moving from a location, many people choose to carry mirrors, especially when the mirrors are sentimental of any kind.

Determine how much you would like to keep the mirror.

The first step in packing a mirror before moving is to consider whether it's worth the effort and time to transport and pack your home's furniture to the new location. Large mirrors can take up a place in the truck too, so it's crucial to determine whether it's necessary to move the mirror at all in the first place.

• Are your large-scale mirrors in good working condition and free of any cracks, scratches, or staining on the reflective surface?
• Have you realized for certain that there won't be a single mirror of a large size in the new location?
• Are the mirrors you plan to move a quality item, which would be an absolute shame to let go of?
• Does the mirror possess any sentimental value to you or someone in your family?

If the mirror in question isn't damaged, you should be sure to pack it and take it along with you. Why do you need to buy a new mirror after moving when you already have one that's in good shape?

Make sure you have the correct mirror packing equipment.

Next step is to collect the materials for packing that you'll require to secure your mirror during transport to ensure its safety. Being aware of the correct steps to pack will ensure the mirror's arrival intact; therefore, you'll require the proper packing materials prior to the actual packing stage for your mirror.

The components needed to pack for moving a large mirror include:

• A mirror box. It is necessary to purchase special mirror boxes for every mirror you're carrying. Learn more about why a box for mirrors is the most secure option for transporting anything as fragile as mirrors between houses.
• Kraft paper. It's a kind of wrapping paper that's denser and more durable than soft, white packing paper. Kraft paper is typically brown and can protect glass, which is extremely fragile.
• Cardboard. You'll need a huge piece of cardboard to shield the mirror's reflective surface.
• Bubble wrap. Bubble wrap can create an excellent layer of protection on top of the wrapping paper.
• Painter's tape. Also known as masking tape, you'll require this kind of tape to shield the glass that can break in the mirror.
• Packing tape. A roll of the standard packing tape should work right.
• Permanent marker. For labeling the mirror box after you've put it in.
