<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 66558, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; Been shipping glass and ceramics for years. I HATE HATE boxes full of foam peanuts. When you open the box they fly everywhere. If using foam peanuts I place all the foam into plastic bags so when you open the box they do not fly everywhere. If something is very fragile I use insulation foam from the big box stores. I take half a box, wrap the item in plastic wrap, spray the foam into the box, lay the item into the foam and wait for it to dry and set up, then take it (the foam) out of the box and spray more foam into the box and place the item upside down ino the foam, when it is dry I remove the item, take off the plastic wrap and wrap in tissue paper and lay it into the impression add the top of the foam to the box. Then ship it. Never lost anything doing that. If using a double box I wrap the item in tissue and fill the box with foam peanuts tied into plastic bags, until it does not move. Then I use the next size box and put empty 20 oz water bottles into the four corners plus ones on the top and bottom and four sides tape it up and off it goes. The empty water bottles weigh next to nothing. Never lost anything since doing that. If wrapping something into bubble wrap used rubber bands to hold it together. Taping it over and over again will cause problems in unwrapping. Just my own thoughts on over taping.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
