Moving boxes for heavy kitchen objects

When packing plates, glassware, and other heavy fragile items, 32 ECT strength is simply not sufficient. The containers needed are our 44 ect heavy duty boxes (18 x 18 x 22) that are super-strong. Our preference is for new ones, since the integrity of the seams and walls are most important. Used boxes may fail. For the average household, 
Start with the larges dishes on the bottom and work up with the smaller plates on top. Always lay them flat and never on their sides. Stemware and glasses should be packed in a separate moving box. We suggest investing the relatively small amount in cell dividers. Wrap each glass in a light layer of bubble wrap prior to placing in the cells. Depending on the height of your glasses, it may be possible to place more than one layer in the moving box; using cardboard to completely cover the bottom layer, before starting the second. Should there be insufficient room for a second layer, used enough crushed newspaper to pack the box snuggly; not allowing any room for shifting during transit. Fill up any remaining space with linen napkins, placemats, or figurines wrapped well in bubble wrap.
