Double Box Delicate Items

Truly delicate items need to be double boxed. Wrap in bubble wrap, add some paper, place the smaller box inside the bigger box after you have added bubble wrap (and maybe paper) to the larger box's lining. Tape your carton well. I've never had anything break this way.

If it is a vase or item that has an open inner core (pitcher, vase, jar), put paper or bubble wrap inside the core area also, before boxing, to re-enforce the items sides as it travels, and buy insurance!
