The pros at Movers.com deliver their hard-won advice in a new guide detailing which prized possessions require bubble wrap for an interstate move. The site helps homeowners in Queens, New York, and other locales pack themselves or find moving services.
It's hard to pick the most prized possession in your house. There are cherished family heirlooms. Essential tools that make daily life manageable. Items that support your favorite hobbies. When it's time to move, you'd bubble wrap it all if you could.
But the price tag for that much padded packing material would require yet another mortgage.
There's good news. In a new guide, the relocation specialists at Movers.com explain the most important items to protect with bubble wrap during interstate moves. The report also tips consumers off to specialized variations that help preserve items better than the original product.

Compiled by moving experts with decades of experience, the report also includes packing instructions to help ensure valuables arrive at their destination intact. The advice helps do-it-yourself movers trying to move on a budget prioritize their use of the pricey product.
Wine glasses top the list of delicate items, thanks to their slender stems, according to the experts at Movers.com. You can wrap easily-replaced simple glass goblets with paper, but valuable crystal pieces or sentimental glasses should be bubble-wrapped for protection and placed in a cell box.
While major electronics may seem sturdy, their delicate inner components make them a prime candidate for bubble wrap, according to Movers.com. Look for specialized static-free pink bubble wrap - it protects electronics from accidental static-induced zaps. The guide recommends packing electronics in their original boxes, or a sturdy, well-labeled carton, if the original packaging is gone.
Heavy glass tabletops are awkward to move, and expensive to replace. The guide recommends you encase the entire piece in wrap with larger bubbles to avoid mysterious marks often left by smaller bubbles. Movers.com suggests sealing the wrapped tabletop with packing tape and covering it with a blanket or sliding it into a telescoping box. It also gives similar advice for mirrors and furniture with glass doors and shelves.
