Breakables

• Boxes with breakable contents should be marked "FRAGILE".
• Place a layer of screwed-up tissue paper at the bottom of the box to act as a cushion. Wrap each item in a sheet of tissue paper or bubble wrap and put the flatter, heavier items at the bottom. When the box is almost full add another layer of screwed-up tissue paper before sealing it with with packing tape and marking.
• Plates should be packed one on top of the other with a sheet of packing paper between each. Place in the corners of the box with the largest at the bottom and work upwards. Wrap smaller breakables such as cups, mugs and bowls and place them in the centre of the box.
• Jugs, teapots and items with handles should have extra padding and be packed upright.
