Shoot! Honey, all the wine glasses are broken! No one wants to have that experience when they unpack. By following these simple instructions, you'll be able to safely store all of your glasses and China and not have to worry about those wineglasses.
China Plates - To begin put a 3-4 inches of clean packing paper on the bottom of the container. Wrap each plate in two or three sheets of packing paper and stack three or four plates together. Then wrap each stack with another two or three sheets of packing paper.
Put each bundle of plates into the container standing on the edge. Keep putting the plates in until you have a row right across the bottom of the carton. Be sure to keep the role snug so that the plates remain upright. If there is still some room after all the plates are stacked vertically, use pieces like soup bowls and gravy boats to hold them in place. At the very top of the box, put down another layer of crushed paper.
The next layer may be filled with pieces of good size and strength. Always leave enough space at the top to place a good cushion of newspaper. Fold the top flat and seal with tape and label well.
Bowls and Cups - Wrap the cups individually and place them upside down with their handles pointing to the inside of the box. Use lots of packing paper to make sure that the cups don't bump into each other during a move. The cups should be on the top layer of the box.
Each large bowl should be individually wrapped and then nested with smaller bowls. Place them upside down at the bottom of the carton. It's okay to put smaller items inside the bowls. Just make sure they are wrapped safely. Lids to containers and bowls should be individually wrapped and placed upside down on the bowl or container they belong to. Finally, wrap the bowl and its lid in two more sheets of packing paper.
Fragile Glasses, Stemware and Figurines - Wrap these items individually and pack them in celled cartons wherever possible. Protect them with plenty of bubble wrap. Use colored tissue paper to wrap figurines and small items to avoid throwing them out by mistake.
Silverware and Stainless Steel Flatware - Each piece of silverware should be wrapped in paper with a low sulfur content or in clear plastic to prevent scratching and tarnishing. Once they are in the silver chest, wrap the entire chest in paper or even a large soft towel and put it at the bottom of the container. Stainless steel flatware doesn't need any special packing. Just wrap them individually or in sets with clean paper.
Following all of these instructions will certainly help your China arrive to your new home in one piece. However, for insurance, write the word 'FRAGILE' in BIG letters on all your boxes! Good luck.
