Different Types Of Fragile Item Packing

Packing Bone China

Bone china requires individual packing, i.e. each item should be carefully wrapped in newspaper, in two or three layers. After that it should be placed in neat boxes depending upon the size of item. This means that if you have cups, you can club them together; if you have bowls you can group them separately.

Newspaper wrap can be a bit risky, if there is an accidental fall. This is the reason why bubble wrap would be more appropriate. It can safely and effectively help you transport Bone China. One more important thing, all hollow bone china should be filled with something soft, newspaper or sponge etc. to make it bear the impact of fall.

Packing Sharp Edged Items

Sharp edged items come with the danger or getting you hurt. That is why you should be utmost careful with them. Firstly you can use knife guards and seal away the sharpness of knifes. If you cant arrange for knife guards then you can wrap them into two or three newspaper and place all these covered knifes into one Box. You should explicitly label the box containing knifes, so that while loading, unloading and unpacking the person handling it is cautious.

You can also use special knife rolls to pack knives. Knife rolls are canvas sheets which have placeholders for all kinds of knifes. You can safely place these knifes into these place holders and roll them up.

One more less costlier and easy alternatives would be to use old towel. Just take an old towel and place one knife on the towel, wrap it a bit, then place another knife and wrap it a bit and continue till all the knifes have been placed.

Packing Glasses and Crystal Objects

Stack all glass plates one top another. But before doing that place plenty of newspaper or foam inside the box. Then cover each plate separately with newspaper or bubble wrap and place in order. Crystal object should be transported in boxes made especially for them. They are insulated quite adequately for this purpose and ensure that the item is protected through its transportation.
