Packing Steps That Will Keep Glass Figurines Protected And Organized While Moving

Posted on

If you own a large collection of glass figurines and plan on moving some of them to your office that is located across town, the following steps can be used to assist with keeping the glass pieces protected and organized while they are being transported.

Materials

Wrap Each Glass Piece Inside Of Fabric

Insert small glass items inside of tube socks. Place a single glass piece inside of each sock. Wrap the ends of the socks securely around the portion of each sock where a collectible is located. Use strips of packing tape to secure the wrapped items. For larger glass pieces, place each one on top of a piece of cushioned fabric. Wrap the fabric around each piece several times. Use packing tape to secure the edges of the fabric.

Add An Extra Layer Of Padding And Label Each Piece

Cover each fabric-covered collectible with a layer of bubble wrap. Use tape to seal the edges of the wrap. Place a an adhesive label on the outside of each item and use a permanent marker to identify what type of collectible is wrapped inside of the bubble wrap and fabric. Create a list that contains information about each item inside of a notebook, as well. By doing so, you can keep track of the items that are being moved without needing to unbox them.

Place The Glass Pieces In Cartons And Add Packing Peanuts Or Paper

Place the wrapped collectibles inside of cartons that have dividers. Put one piece inside of each divided section so that weight is not placed on any of the pieces. Use packing pieces or crumpled up sheets of newspaper to fill in gaps around and above each collectible. Seal the cartons with a few strips of packing tape. Label the outside of each carton and affix fragile stickers to each one.

When it is time to move the items across town, anyone who is assisting you will be aware that the contents in each box are breakable and will be likely to move the boxes in a careful manner. Once the glass collectibles are dropped off at the office, you can open each carton and locate specific pieces without delay. The glass pieces will be damage-free and you can proudly display them inside of the room where you work.
