How to Pack and Move Glassware

If there is one thing St. Augustine movers know, it is that packing glasses and glassware can be nerve-racking. Lucky for you, there are easy ways to pack glasses which do not require a great amount of time, are efficient, and will leave you with peace of mind knowing your fragile belongings are safe.

Use Your Clothing

You do not have to buy divider kits to pack glasses, or even special boxes to move glassware. You can kill two birds with one stone and use your clothing. Start by cleaning your clothes then using sweaters and padded clothing to line boxes. Stuff socks inside glasses and wrap them in your tops and shirts. This way, you are keeping your glassware safe when moving and packing your clothing into the same box. Security and efficiency all in one.

Pack Glasses Last

Before you call the St. Augustine movers, you will be packing up your home. The best thing to do is start with the bedrooms first, and finish by packing kitchenware. You should pack your glasses last, because having glass in boxes while you pack the rest of the house can cause some breakage. Also, be sure to leave enough clothing unpacked to use as the lining for the boxes.

Load Glassware Last

Be sure to load the glassware and other delicate items into the truck last. Your St. Augustine movers know to do this automatically; however, if you are moving yourself you should take note of that. Make sure there is nothing heavy sitting on top of your glassware boxes, either. You do not have to spend money on boxes to move glassware, specialty boxes for wine glasses, or glass moving divider kits – all it takes is a little ingenuity. Happy moving!
