Delicate ceramic plates, wine glasses, and cookware can easily chip or shatter during transport. This practical packing tutorial explains how to pack plates vertically, wrap stemware with packing paper, and cushion boxes effectively.
Pack Plates Vertically Like Records
Never stack heavy ceramic plates flat on top of each other. Wrap each plate in paper or bubble wrap and pack them vertically on their edge. Plates placed vertically withstand road shocks much better.
Stuffing Hollow Glassware with Paper
Fill the inside of cups, mugs, and wine glasses with crumpled paper before wrapping the exterior. This strengthens the glass wall and absorbs vibration.
Using Sturdy Double Walled Moving Boxes
Avoid packing fragile glassware in flimsy single ply boxes. Use heavy duty cardboard boxes and line the bottom with a two inch layer of crumpled paper or towels.
Labeling Boxes with Bold Fragile Stickers
Mark all four sides and the top of the box with bright red Fragile / This Side Up markers so moving staff handle them with extra care.
