If you happen to be relocating to another location, most likely, you will want to take your heirlooms and valuable stuff with you. But priceless treasures such as porcelain figurines, wine glasses, and ceramic jugs can be damaged or destroyed during shipment. You wouldn't want that to happen to your shipment.

Fortunately, there are several ways to ensure that your treasures get to your destination unbroken and unharmed. Furthermore, these approaches are easy, simple, and inexpensive. 

1. Porcelain, glass, or ceramic dishes are fragile. To protect them, place them inside dish barrels. Dish barrels are tubular boxes that enable you to stack up dishes. Made out of thick cardboard, they can absorb shock and protect your dishes from impacts, moisture, debris, and other elements that can damage your treasures. They also come in different sizes, which enable you to fit various sizes of dish sets easily.

2. Before packing your fragile items, you must wrap them with some sort of flexible padding. Normally, crumpled old newspapers are used, but this is not recommended; the old print can mar the surface of the items. t is better to use special packing paper since it does not stain the items. Bubble wrap also works very well because it provides excellent cushion. Secure the wrapper with transparent tape.

3. Before putting your wrapped items in the removal boxes, place a soft “bed” at the bottom of the box. That bed can be made of any cushioning material such as layers of newspaper or packing paper, folded old clothes, towels, bubble wrap, or styrofoam peanuts. The bed reduces the chances of your items being damaged during transit.

4. When packing glasses, pitchers, jugs, vases, or similar vessels, crumple and tuck a piece of paper or bubble wrap inside each vessel. These crumpled pieces provide cushioning that prevents damage and destruction.

5. Before putting your heirlooms in, place strong and heavy stuff inside the box first. Heavy mugs, serving trays, and solid sculptures are examples of these items. These durable items will support the more delicate ones that will be placed above them.

6. It would be excellent if you can use cardboard dividers to separate one item from another inside the box. Cardboard dividers, which can be purchased from your contracted removals company, prevent the contents from rubbing against each other. They prevent your items from getting cracked, chipped, or scraped. 

7. Fill up the box with contents. Once it's full, place cushioning materials such as bubble wrap, crumpled paper, and Styrofoam peanuts in it.

8. Close each of your corrugated cardboard boxes and secure the lids with duct tape or masking tape. Securely sealed lids have remote chances of opening or ripping apart as the boxes are lifted off the ground. Conversely, improperly sealed lids can rip apart, causing the items stored within the box to fall out. It is better to have additional layers of adhesive tape to guarantee a good seal. 

9. Your shipment may be transported via a freighter, especially if your cargo is heavy and has to be transported overseas. Because it may be subjected to harsh weather conditions at sea, you might want to weatherproof your boxes by enclosing them in plastic wrap. 

Ultimately, you should utilise excellent packing containers to store your items. You can obtain a wide variety of moving boxes for sale from your removals services provider.

I went to Japan, and I was with a buddy of mine, and he bought some little glass figurines for his wife. He wrapped those things up like crazy when we were packing for the trip home. I told him he should find a small box or something to put them in. One the way home, I was watching people load luggage onto the plane, and they're pretty rough. Luckily he wrapped the glass up enough and had them in a box.
