The best way to prevent seven years of bad luck is to properly pack your mirrors! There are many ways that you can approach this process. One way to pack is to use a mirror box, a heavy-duty cardboard carton that has four layers to keep your mirror safe. If you are using a box, you will want to cushion the reflective surface with bubble wrap and other packing supplies. Another option is to use a fabric moving pad and secure the mirror with packing tape. While not the safest option, it is a cost-effective way to move your mirror and reduce the risk of shattering.
Corner protectors, styrofoam, and other materials can also be used to pack and secure your mirror. The most important part is the use of good quality packing material. Test the materials before you start putting your mirror away. You can never be too careful. Once your mirror is packed away, all that’s left is to label it! Make sure you identify it as a mirror and that it is fragile! This will guarantee that your movers will handle the package with care.
