Properly packing glass dishes can help ensure they arrive at their destination intact. Here are some steps to follow:
- Choose the right packing materials: Use a sturdy, medium-sized box that can hold the weight of your dishes, and line the bottom of the box with crumpled packing paper.
- Wrap each dish individually: Wrap each dish separately with packing paper. Place the dish in the center of the paper, and bring the corners of the paper up to meet at the top. Secure the paper with tape.
- Use dividers: Place a layer of crumpled packing paper on top of the dishes, and then insert cardboard dividers to separate the dishes and prevent them from touching.
- Add more packing material: Once the first layer of dishes is in place, add another layer of crumpled packing paper on top of the dividers. Then, repeat the wrapping and inserting process for the remaining dishes.
- Close the box: Once all the dishes are securely in the box, add a final layer of packing paper on top. Close the box and seal it with packing tape.
- Label the box: Label the box as “Fragile” and “Handle with Care” so that the movers know to be extra careful when transporting it.
By following these steps, you can help ensure your glass dishes are properly packed and protected during transport.
