Wrapping Breakables for Shipping

If you have to wrap and ship something that is breakable -- china, glass vase, figurine, etc. -- take this one tip and never forget it:  Bubble wrap is your best friend. You cannot use enough bubble wrap to protect your breakables. It's worth the investment and time.

If your shipment contains multiple items, such as china dishes, it is important to remember that one plate should not touch another plate -- that's how you get chips and cracks. Place a piece of bubble or foam wrap or layers of newspaper between each plate (no more than 4 or 5 plates in a bunch), and then wrap that bunch in bubble wrap, at least 3 times around. It is worth it.
