China/
Glassware/ Silverware Packing
Professionals use "Dish Pack", an exceptionally sturdy
corrugated carton of double-wall construction designed
for china, glassware and other fragile items less than
18 inches in size. China and glassware are INDIVIDUALLY
wrapped in clean paper. Remember to mark these boxes as:
"FRAGILE->THIS SIDE UP". |
Flat China & Glassware
The larger china, glass plates, platters and other flat
pieces should be placed in the bottom of a "Dish
Pack". Place cushioning material in bottom of carton.
Wrap each piece individually; then wrap four to six in a
bundle with a double layer of newspaper. |

Packing Bowls & Odd
Shaped Pieces
Depending on their weight, these may be used
either as the bottom or middle layers. Wrap in
the same way as flat plates. Stand shallow bowls
(soup plates, etc.) on edge in the carton and
deep ones (such as mixing bowls) nested two or
three together, upside down on their rims. Wrap
sugar bowl lids in tissue, turning upside down
on top of the bowl, then wrapping together in
clean paper followed by an outer double layer of
newspaper. Wrap cream pitchers in clean paper,
then a double outer wrapping. Place sugar bowls,
cream pitchers, sauce |
|
| container and similar pieces
upright in the carton. Complete the layer as for
plates. |
Packing
Cups
Even when using a "Dish Pack" and mini-cells for china,
wrap cups individually, protecting handles with an extra
layer of paper.
Sterling Silver or Silver Plate
All silver pieces should be completely enclosed in
fresh, clean tissue paper or plastic wrap. Hollowware,
including bowls, tea sets and serving dishes, should be
carefully wrapped as fragile items and packed as china.
Loose flatware may be wrapped either individually or in
sets, in clear plastic or tissue. If the silverware is
in a chest, you still may want to wrap the pieces
individually and replace in the chest. Or fill in all
empty spaces in the chest with tissue paper or paper
toweling. Wrap the chest with a large bath towel.
Packing
Fragile Items
Professional packers use a material called "bubble wrap"
for exceptionally fragile items. If the article is
extremely valuable as well as delicate, it may be wise
to have it packed for you. Special materials may be
needed for maximum protection.
Packing
Collectibles & other Delicate Items
Wrap first in tissue paper or facial tissue. Then wrap
carefully in newsprint which as been crushed and
flattened out. Be sure these items are well protected
with plenty of cushioning.
Packing
Small Mirrors, Plaques & Pictures
Should be wrapped individually in tissue paper. A bath
towel or small blanket makes an excellent outer wrapping
and padding for the glass.
Packing
Lamp Bases
After removing the light bulb and lamp harp, wrap the
base, harp and bulb separately in newsprint, and place
together in a carton, filling spaces with crushed paper.
Packing
Lamp Shades
NEVER wrap lampshades in newspaper. Carefully wrap each
shade in three or four sheets of fresh tissue paper, a
pillowcase or large lightweight towel. To allow for
movement, use a sturdy carton at least two inches larger
all around than the largest shade.
Packing
Books
Pack on edge, alternating bound edge to open edge. Pack
books of the same general size together. Use only book
boxes for packing purposes.
Packing
Records/ Compact Discs/ Tapes
Keep in mind that records are heavy and should be packed
in small book boxes that are (16 3/8 x 12 5/8 x 12 5/8).
If records are not in jackets, wrap individually in
tissue paper or plastic wrap to protect against
scratching. Stand records and compact discs ON
EDGE-NEVER FLAT - on a layer of crushed paper. Support
at both ends with a large, hardcover book or several
pieces of cardboard cut to fit.
Packing
Clothing
Clothing left on hangers and placed in wardrobes
available from Boxes on the Run will arrive at
destination wrinkle-free and ready to wear without the
need for pressing.
Packing
Linens & Bedding
Blankets, sheets, tablecloths, towels, pillowcases and
other linens may be protected by a large plastic bag and
packed.
Packing
Small Appliances
Items such as clocks, small radios and other small
appliances should be wrapped individually and packed in
a carton (medium 18 x 18 x 18) cushioned with crushed
paper.
