How to Pack a Violin, Step by Step

1. Put the Violin in the Case

The first and foremost is the safe setting of a violin within a case. The case has to be fine in condition, with no cracks or damages in the structure and preferably be meant to carry a violin. The case should close well so that there is no movement inside. The properly fitted case provides the first layer of protection since it will hold the violin tight.

2. Wrap with Furniture Pads

Once it is snug in its case, wrap the whole case in multiple layers of furniture pad. The pads supply a crucial layer of cushioning that absorbs the shocks and vibrations of transportation. In wrapping these pads around the case in multiple layers, you increase protection against any possible accidental bumps or drops.

3. Use Adhesive Tape to Secure the Shape

Once the case is wrapped in furniture pads, use adhesive tapes to hold the shape and keep the padding in place. This step ensures that protective layers are held together intact and provide protection consistently while the move is underway. Adhesive tape will prevent slipping or unraveling of the furniture pads during handling.

4. Prepare a Carton Box

Next, prepare a sturdy carton box that will hold the violin case. The box should be a tad larger than the violin case because some protective materials will be added later. Line with bubble pads at the bottom of the box. These pads provide a soft base for the violin case, further cushioning it against any impacts.

5. Put Violin Case Inside the Box

Carefully set your wrapped violin case inside your carton box. Be sure not to force it so that it is snug in the box, lest it gets damaged. It has to sit on the bubble pads firmly with enough space around, and with room to pad more around the case.

6. Provide Additional Safeguard with Newsprint Paper

Once the case is in the box, fill the rest of the space with crumpled newsprint paper. This will act as extra cushioning material, absorbing the shocks and preventing the movement of the case inside the box. Place more newsprint paper on top of the case, and then seal up the box.

7. Close and Label the Box

Finally, seal the carton box with packing tape. Make sure that it is sealed on all sides and won’t open during transit. Label clearly “Fragile” to alert the movers for extra handle care. A “This Side Up” label will help ensure the correct orientation of the box.
