How to Pack Stemware
- 1). Inventory your stemware to ensure that you have ample packing materials, including boxes, tissue or packing paper and packing tape. You can use regular boxes or special "cell boxes" that have individual compartments for each glass.
- 2). Stuff the inside of a piece of stemware with either tissue paper or packing paper. Place the stemware on a piece of packing paper and carefully roll the paper around it. You may want to cover the stemware with the paper at least twice. Secure the paper with a strip of packing tape.

Packing box for stemware
Place the piece of stemware in a box. If you are using cell boxes, make sure the stemware is on its base, not upside down. If you are using a regular box, place the stemware on top of heavier items, such as dishes, and be sure the stemware is standing straight up. - 4). Check the box as you add pieces of stemware to make certain that there are no major gaps. This will ensure that your stemware doesn't rattle around during a move. If you find gaps, fill them with extra packing paper.

Packed boxes
Add one last layer of tissue or packing paper before closing the box, using your packing tape to seal it. Label it as "fragile" so that it will be handled with extra care.
