With these supplies in hand, you’re ready to get started on packing your pictures and mirrors. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

    1. Gather all of your pictures and mirrors that you’ll be packing. If you have any particularly large or heavy items, it’s a good idea to enlist the help of a professional mover – after all, A Mile Above Moving is known as one of the best Ottawa movers for a reason!

    2. Begin by wrapping each picture or mirror in bubble wrap. Make sure to wrap it tightly, so that it’s completely covered. If you have foam sheets or foam padding, you can use them to add an extra layer of protection around the edges of the picture or mirror.

    3. Once you’ve wrapped each picture or mirror in bubble wrap, it’s time to start packing them into boxes. When choosing boxes, be sure to select ones that are sturdy and have enough padding to protect your items during transport. You can also use foam sheets or foam padding to add an extra layer of protection to the bottom and sides of the boxes.

    4. As you pack each picture or mirror into the box, make sure to fill in any gaps with extra bubble wrap or foam padding. This will help prevent your items from shifting around during transport.

    5. Once all of your pictures and mirrors are packed into boxes, be sure to label each box with the contents and the “Fragile” label. This will help ensure that your items are handled with care during the moving process.
