Packing glass, porcelain, and ceramic items during a house move is the biggest challenge. Transporting fragile items safely to a new home amidst Guwahati's roads, traffic, and monsoon weather is a true art.

If you are shifting your home in Guwahati, use these packing techniques to keep your valuable crockery safe.

Choose the Right Packing Materials

Instead of ordinary old paper or newspapers, use high - quality materials.

Bubble Wrap : At least 2 layers of bubble wrap are essential for every glass item.

Corrugated Boxes : Use double-wall, heavy-duty boxes that can handle the weight.

Packing Paper : Use plain packing paper instead of printed newspaper to prevent ink stains on your crockery.

Heavy Items at the Bottom, Light Items on Top

Pay attention to weight distribution when packing boxes. Place heavy dinner plates and ceramic bowls at the very bottom with padding like bubble wrap or thermocol sheets between them. Always place delicate wine glasses, cups, and glass bowls on top.

Plate Standing Method (Most Important Tip)

People often stack plates flat on top of one another, which is a major mistake. Plates packed flat break easily due to bumps and shocks during transit. Always pack plates vertically (standing up), just like they are placed in a dish rack, and insert paper or bubble wrap between each plate.

Zero Void Rule (Leave No Empty Space)

If there is any empty space inside the box, the items can shift and break. Fill empty gaps thoroughly with crushed paper, packing peanuts, or soft cloth (like kitchen towels) so that nothing rattles when the box is moved.

Clear Labeling & Heavy-Duty Taping

After sealing the box securely, clearly mark it on all sides in large letters with "FRAGILE - HANDLE WITH CARE" and "THIS SIDE UP" using markers or stickers. This ensures the loading and unloading team knows to handle the box with care.
