Make Sure You Store Your Glasses Properly

Some packing tips you can use to your advantage is protecting your glassware. You can use a box with newspaper and even some bubble wrap to help you keep your delicate items safe. The same things goes with your precious plates. Put the wrap over the item and tape it down so that it covers the item completely.

Whether you, your family, or hired help is carrying it, this automatically sends a mental note to handle the item carefully.
