**Expert Packing Tips from River Road Mini Storage to Protect Your Fragile Treasures**
*PASO ROBLES, Calif., Oct. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb* — We all have delicate and fragile items that bring us joy — whether it’s a beautiful hand-blown Venetian glass bowl purchased on vacation, a charming ceramic giraffe snagged for $2 at a local yard sale, or a peacock-patterned dish set bought online. No matter the cost or who gave it to us, these treasures hold a special place in our hearts. When they break, it feels like a piece of us breaks, too.
Rick Runnells, owner of River Road Mini Storage in Paso Robles, shares expert packing tips to help you avoid the heartbreak of discovering cracked or broken items when unpacking after a move or storage.
**Careful Packing is Key**
Packing fragile items carefully with the right materials is essential. Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or foam to cushion your items securely inside sturdy boxes. Proper labeling is equally vital—clearly mark boxes containing fragile items to ensure they receive appropriate handling.
**Safe Handling and Storage Make a Difference**
“Storing boxes of fragile items is just as important as proper packing,” says Rick Runnells. If you are storing these boxes at home, consider dedicating a closet or an enclosed section of your garage exclusively for fragile items. Label the area for added awareness and protection.
When moving, keep fragile boxes separate from other belongings. They should be the last boxes loaded onto the moving van and the first ones unloaded into storage or your new home. If using a storage unit, designate a specific section for these fragile boxes to keep them secure.
At your new place, placing all fragile boxes in one room or a dedicated corner helps keep them safe and accessible. This way, you’ll know exactly where your delicate possessions are and can unpack them carefully at your own pace.
