How to store dishes and glassware

Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and top of boxes containing breakables. Protect fragile items by wrapping them individually in packing paper or bubblewrap (newsprint can be very messy and possibly stain). Nest cups and bowls, stand plates, sauce platters, casseroles dishes on their edges. Fill any gaps between the cartons with packing e.g. scrunched paper linen. This will keep your fragile items well protected and prevent them from moving around in the cartons whilst in transit. Label all cartons containing fragile items and avoid storing heavy items on the top of these cartons.
