Since glass is fragile, you need to search out a company that has experience picking up, packing and shipping fragile items. Be sure to ask if each piece of glass is delicately double bubbled. Once the pieces are wrapped they are put inside one box, they should then be placed inside another double wall box with a minimum 2-3 inch cushion of peanuts packed fully into the box.
Ask if the company you are choosing for your valuable glass has experience packing the following items:
- Bowls
- Goblets
- Lamps
- Wine Glasses
- Vases
- Cups
- Glass table tops
- Picture Frames
- Stained glass
- Waterford Crystal
- Swarovski Crystal
Certain items such as Stained Glass will need specialize packing.
Stained glass should be packed in a custom built crate. Depending on the size and fragility of the piece we use up to 3 inches of Styrofoam on the bottom of the crate and 1-2 inches of Styrofoam on the sides and top. After double or triple bubbling, a minimum of 2-3" of peanuts should be used on the front and back. The crate should be closed with staples on the bottom, and screws on the top to make it easy to open. Then a metal band should be put around the crate to secure it.
