When you're preparing for a local move in Gilbert, AZ, with Dose Moving & Storage, it's crucial to pack your valuables correctly to ensure they arrive at their new destination in perfect condition.

First, identify the most fragile items and pinpoint high-risk areas like handles and edges. Then, categorize your items into high, medium, and low-risk groups.

Protecting Fragile Items First

When packing for a move, carelessness can be a recipe for disaster. A single mistake can result in irreparable damage to your cherished possessions. That's why Dose Moving & Storage emphasizes the importance of prioritizing item packing, focusing on the most delicate items first.

Identify the fragile zones within each item, like handles, corners, and edges, which need extra care. Then, categorize your items into high, medium, and low-risk groups. This way, you'll pack the most fragile items before anything else.

 

Wrapping Mirrors and Glass

At Dose Moving & Storage, we understand that wrapping mirrors and glass requires extra care. To ensure they arrive at their destination without a scratch, we recommend a minimum of two inches of cushioning to protect against shocks and vibrations during transit.

To get started, cover the entire surface of your mirrors and glass with paper or cloth to prevent scratching.

Next, use sturdy paper or bubble wrap to create a cushion around the edges, paying special attention to the glass edges and mirror corners, which are particularly prone to chipping or cracking.

 

Bubble Wrap for Electronics

At Dose Moving & Storage, we know that bubble wrap is more than just a fun way to pop bubbles - it's also a crucial tool for safeguarding your sensitive electronics during a local move. Electronic devices require special care to prevent damage from shocks, vibrations, and static electricity.

When wrapping electronics, we use expert techniques that guarantee complete coverage. We wrap each item individually and use multiple layers of bubble wrap to ensure maximum protection.

We also make sure to wrap cables and accessories separately to prevent tangling and damage. 

 

 

Secure Artwork With Acid-Free Paper

When it comes to moving fine art pieces and sentimental prints, Dose Moving & Storage knows that extra care is essential.

That's why we use acid-free paper to prevent damage during local moves. This specialized paper is crucial in art conservation, as it stops acidic substances from transferring and causing discoloration, brittleness, or even complete destruction of the artwork.

By using high-quality acid-free paper, we ensure that your valuable pieces arrive at their new destination in the same pristine condition they were in when we picked them up.
