In this article we provide tips to make packing your fragile items easier. Using the right box to pack china, glassware, and anything fragile can help you make sure that your items are moved safely. If you only have one type of box make sure you use enough packing material to cushion fragile items.
Here are some tips for packing your dishes and choosing the right packing material:
- Dish barrels are a good choice as they are stronger and thicker than regular cardboard boxes. They also are built to absorb travel shock and protect your dishes.
- Make sure that both the top and bottom of the boxes are secure with tape. Use only packing tape for this task; a tape gun will make this job a lot easier.
- You can use newspaper to pack glass items and breakables. At Excalibur Moving and Storage we supply china paper for this at no extra charge.
- Have all the materials you need at the ready before you start to make the job quicker.
- Having help with this process will also get it completed faster. Excalibur Moving and Storage offers a Full Packing Service that will give you 3 times more help. However, family and friends are also an alternative solution.

I had such a great experience with my move that I decided to write a review. I don’t usually write reviews (I read a lot of them!) but when I have a really great experience, I feel like it’s important to share it with others. I know nothing about choosing a mover so I had to narrow down my choices based on reviews. Excalibur had really great reviews so I decided to give them a call. I’m so glad I did! They took care of absolutely everything for me and they were so careful with my family’s belongings. Moving isn’t fun no matter what, but it can be made better when you are working with people who care. These guys care! They work fast but are very conscientious to be very careful as they move your stuff. The move went so much faster than expected which was a plus! I also compared several different moving companies and found Excalibur to be the most reasonable. Some of the quotes I received from other movers were “open-ended” meaning that it gave me the impression that my costs could increase if they just decided that it was taking longer than expected or if I had more things than they first thought. The last thing you want is to think you are paying a certain amount only to find out that it’s going to be much higher! Excalibur gave me a price and that is the price I paid. I had a wonderful experience with them so if you need a mover, you should definitely give them a call.
