Packing fragile items such as delicate china cups can be extremely difficult and very wearing on the nerves. Everyone always thinks that they are aware of how to go about packing china, but in such a situation it is always better not to take chances and to instead hire the services of a professional moving company.
A professional moving company will have its own experts who know precisely how to move such fragile items, and you may even learn a thing or two from them. It is important to make sure that you have enough in the way of packing supplies to be able to pack these delicate items in the correct manner. If you still have the original boxes that the items came in and these boxes remain in good condition, using them is highly recommended; the original boxes often have extra foam for the sake of protection. Make sure that the foam is also still in good condition; if not, replace it with new foam inserts.
The double-boxing method can be successfully applied if you still have the original boxes, and this is by far the safest way to move china and other glassware; alternatively, you might want to think about making use of sturdy double-walled boxes.
Professional movers will be able to provide you with all the relevant information with regard to the necessary procedures for the packing of glassware. They can also work out the amount of space you should leave between the items.
