How to pack glass for moving professionally?



How to pack glass for the move is not as simple as you think, especially since there are so many different shapes and sizes. Here are some helpful tips that will help you make sure everything is intact when you open that box in your new home. With the right supplies on hand, packing dishes and glasses can be stress-free. Here what you’ll need:

 



 

MATERIALS

  • Bubble Wrap
  • Foam Pouches
  • Moving Kits
  • Packing Tape
  • Moving Boxes
  • Dish Packing Kit
  • Packing Paper

 

TOOLS

  • Scissors
  • Tape Dispensers
  • Markers

 

Donate dishes that you no longer want

Before you begin packing for a move, you’ll want to take some time and sort through what you have. Chances are, there are some items in your kitchen that you no longer want or need. Getting rid of old wine glasses or plates you never use will save you from having to move them and free up valuable space in your truck or vehicle.

 

Invest in dish pack boxes

Invest in proper packing boxes for all dishes. Boxes for packing dishes are made of double corrugated board and are sturdier than ordinary cardboard boxes. They are designed to support the weight of heavy and fragile objects. You can also use a plastic tub if you have one on hand.

 

 

Prep Materials

Consider using a box kit, with easy to use sleeves and dividers. If using a moving box add six inches packing papers to the bottom.

 

Packing dishes

You want to group plates and bowls by size and wrap each dish individually. Lay out a sheet of packing paper. Place plate in center, fold over corners and secure. Place dishes in the box in rows. Group like items to save space. Place heavy items at the bottom. Platters should be packed in separate boxes. Fill in spaces with papers of bubble wrap. Do write “FRAGILE” and add an arrow to indicate the direction of dishes..

 

 

 

Pack cups and glasses

Stuff the interior of the cups with packing paper or cells packs and wrap handles. Wrap glasses individually with double sheets of paper of bubble wrap. Pack upright in rows. If there is room, add a second layer of glasses. Use dish towels to fill the empty spaces.

 

Pack stemware

To pack stemware, wrap glass stems before wrapping entire glass. Consider double boxing anything fragile or expensive.

 

Weight of each box

A single box shouldn’t weigh more than 50 pounds. You may want fewer boxes, lighter in weight for easier portability, and more cushioning for your dishes. Pack really well so nothing can  move. Empty space means no support and fragile objects can move into each other.

 

Conclusion

Now that you know how to pack glasses for moving, it’s time to grab your materials and get to work! You will definitely want everything to go smoothly with your move. Packing dishes is a lot easier when you have a great plan. Have a safe move.
