Furniture comes in all sizes, shapes and weight classes. Therefore, the appropriate packaging is always tailored to the specific piece of furniture. Especially for very valuable furniture, it is important to use the appropriate packaging materials. This minimizes the risk of possible damage in transit.
Here is a selection of the packaging materials used for furniture shipping:
Regardless of whether you want to ship a cabinet or send a bed: It is usually a good idea to disassemble the furniture as compactly as possible before packing. This is not always possible. Antique furniture in particular can often only be transported as a whole.
If protruding parts such as chair and table legs or a mirror attachment can be removed from the piece of furniture, this should also be implemented. The next step is to fold the parts together if possible. Here, for example, there is the option of wrapping chair legs separately in corrugated cardboard and placing the individual parts together in one box. If there are several parts in one carton, the voids are filled with filling materials such as bubble wrap.
Drawers and cabinet doors that are transported as a whole must be secured to the piece of furniture with tape or by a lashing strap. Then wrap the entire piece of furniture with a tear-resistant stretch film. For various pieces of furniture, it is advisable to place an edge protector made of cardboard or plastic beforehand. For example, if you are shipping an armchair that has a wooden frame.
