Packing China Properly to Prevent Breakage during a Move
Breaking the fine china will definitely hurt either a mother's or grandmother feelings when moving because of the importance they place on these items. China can be heirlooms, wedding presents, or more simply status symbols meant to be looked at and never touched. When packing china for a move, it is important to pay special attention to packaging these items because they are easily damaged.
When packing china, it is important to do it correctly because these plates and glasses tend be very delicate. For this reason, it is important not be cheap or hasty in the packaging process. Make sure that there is enough material to package each piece of china properly, or you can end up with a box of broken plates when it is unpacked.
One way a person or family can package these materials is buy individually wrapping them in old newspaper. This wrapping material can be very easily obtained and offers a good layer of protection between each specific item when packing china. Make sure to always put an extra layer between each plate while stacking them in a box.
Once these items are packaged safely, it is important to clearly label the box. Labeling the box as fragile will aid in taking extra care of these when packing china into a moving van. These pieces should be securely fastened in a moving van and should be out of the way of any item that can fall on them while in transit.
Packing china is important because of the high expense that items cost and their sentimental value to people. When packing china, always try to stack these items with two layers of protection to ensure their survival. Finally, place these objects in secure places in the moving truck to avoid them falling or other objects falling on them.
