How Do You Pack Breakables For A Move?
Don’t toss your good china and crystal willy-nilly into boxes – unless you prefer them smashed to bits. Here’s how to get those breakables safely to their destination. Place a layer of cushioning – wadded up newspaper, bubble wrap or packing paper are good – at bottom of box. Loosely fill insides of mugs, glasses and vases with cushioning. Wrap each item separately in cushioning. Layer pieces neatly inside box using plenty of filler (more crumpled newspaper or foam peanuts). Leave room for another layer of cushioning at the top of the box. Slightly overfill the box with cushioning. Close and seal the box securely with tape.
