Secure packing for fragile exhibition items
Clear, practical instructions to pack furniture, electronics and glassware for safe same‑night delivery within Switzerland.
Quick answer
Pack fragile exhibition items to withstand shocks, vibration and moisture during pickup and same‑night delivery in Switzerland. Use sturdy outer boxes or wooden crates, internal cushioning with foam or bubble wrap, secure fastening and clear labelling. For large furniture, add covers, edge protection and reliable tie‑downs in the vehicle.
Why correct packing matters
Same‑night deliveries leave little room for error. Poor packing raises the risk of damage during loading, transport and unloading. Proper packing protects the object, reduces claims and speeds up handling in Zurich, Geneva or Basel.
Materials and tools — the basics
Keep ready: sturdy corrugated boxes or plywood/OSB crates, bubble wrap, foam sheets, edge protectors, packing paper, 50 mm tape, tie‑down straps, felt or blanket covers, box cutters and a labeller. For electronics: antistatic wrap.
Furniture: protection, fixation and handling
Clean and dry the piece. Remove loose parts like knobs. Wrap furniture in felt blankets or stretch foil, then add edge protectors. Fix moving parts internally with foam. For same‑night jobs consider wooden crates or reinforced cartons and internal tie points.
Electronics: ESD and shock protection
Wrap electronic exhibits in antistatic film. Use a tailored foam insert or specialist padding. Place the device in a small protective box inside a larger outer box and secure against movement. Label access points for sensitive ports.
Glassware and ceramics: individual protection
Wrap each piece separately in packing paper and bubble wrap. Fill voids with foam or packing fill. Place heavy items at the bottom. Use ‘This Side Up’ markings and clear ‘Fragile’ labels on all sides.
Labelling and documentation
Label packages with sender, receiver, phone number and Swiss delivery address. Add handling instructions like ‘Keep Upright’, ‘Do Not Stack’ or ‘Two Person Lift’. Photograph the packed item before pickup for records.
Frequently asked questions
What box size is best for glassware?
Choose a box with about 5–8 cm clearance on all sides. This leaves space for sufficient cushioning and prevents direct contact.
Do I need a wooden crate for a sofa?
Not always. For high‑value or antique furniture, a wooden crate is safer. Modern sofas often do fine with blankets, stretch film, edge protection and a reinforced box.
How do I secure large monitors for same‑night delivery?
Use sturdy foam blocks top and bottom, secure with tape, place the unit in a strong outer box and mark the front. Label as ‘Monitor/Fragile’.
What should I check for vehicle transport?
Use tie‑down straps and avoid empty space. Place heavy items low. Blankets or rubber mats reduce slipping and scratching.
