how do you pack stemware?

Answer 1

In foam wrap or lots & lots of newspaper & place your towels you are packing with them in between them & around them.

Answer 2

Like most everybody said, with wadded up newspaper or towels or most anthying soft like pillows or clothes or stuff like that. A lot of times when I was moving, I would pack my glasses in with the clothes and towels when I was in a hurry to move. That way you don't have to worry about wadding up all of the paper or throwing it away later. Basically the idea is to make sure they are cushioned and that they don't touch each other. Also try keeping them from the edges of the boxes. Keep them towards the center. Especially keep them away from the bottom. If someone drops it the bottom or whatever side it falls on will take the brunt of the damage. Bubblewrap or foam will also work but there are cheaper alternatives such as the newspaper or the cloth materials you have around the house. Wadded up T-shirts and sweatshirts work well too.

Also never use packing peanuts to package your breakables. Packing peanuts can allow the piece to work its way to the bottom while riding in the vehicle due to the vibrations and if someone drops it after it vibrates to the bottom there is no cushioning to protect it.

I went to U-haul and found a box that had devided areas and they also have small bubble wrap bags for stemware I have had great results with this. I have a event planning business and have a lot of stemware in my wharehouse and have not had a problem

Answer 4

Tissue paper is excellent for packing stemware or anything that is fragile.I recycle all my tissue paper to reuse for whatever.Plastic shopping bags are also good for packing.Newspaper ink gets all over everything.You can also use your dish towels,dish cloths,pot holders,placemats,napkins and tablecloths for extra padding when packing fragile items.

Answer 5

There are boxes with separate little holes for this, but wrap each piece separately with a whole sheet of newspaper or newsprint paper first. The more padding the better.
Make sure no pieces touch each other. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Wrap it in lots of newspaper. In the same box, pack tablecloths, dish towels, oven mitts and other kitchen items that are made of fabric. That will help cushion the glassware.

Answer 7
