How Do You Pack Glasses for Moving?
Packing glasses for your next move can be relatively simple as long as you follow a few guidelines. The first of which is to make sure that you are using the correct type of moving box. While single-layer corrugated cardboard boxes may be suitable for less fragile household items, double-layer cardboard boxes should be used for glasses, ceramics, china, and any other fragile items that need to be moved.
Beyond just using the right type of box, there are a few other rules that should be followed to ensure a safe trip for your delicate items. These include:
- Using a lot of padding material such as packing paper, which should be used to wrap your dishes and glasses. You can also create an extra buffer by stuffing the box with bubble wrap and packing peanuts.
- Stacking lighter items on top of heavier items. Doing the opposite may result in breakage of the lighter items.
- Stacking glasses upright and plates on their side, which allows for ideal weight distribution and minimizes the chance of breakage.
Another way to ensure that your items are safely transported to their destination is to hire the experienced movers at Atlantic Relocation Systems.
