The number-one rule of packing fragiles: empty space is your enemy. Here's the system our crews use to make sure your favourite pieces arrive intact.
Plates and bowls
Stand them on edge, not flat. Wrap each individually and fill the box with paper so nothing shifts.
Glasses and stemware
Use a divided box (we sell or hire them). Wrap stems separately from bowls.
Mirrors and framed art
Tape an X across the glass to contain shards if it cracks. Wrap in bubble, then sandwich between cardboard.
Televisions
Original box if you have it. If not, blanket-wrap and transport upright — never flat.
Lamps and lightshades
Remove bulbs and shades. Wrap shades separately and don't stack anything on top.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use newspaper or packing paper?
Packing paper for anything that touches white china — newsprint transfers ink.
