quote"Hello,
Could anyone help me with some ideas for packaging pottery for mailing?
Use styrofoam loose fill but be aware the reason for migration is most =
people use too little. I double box and jam the peanuts tight enough to =
bulge the box.
For vases, I cut a sheet of cardboard the size of the box bottom, put 1 =
layer of peanuts in the bottom of the box, then place the sheet of =
cardboard with the vase lip down on it in the box. This keeps styro out =
of the vase and provides a shear plane that makes the box harder to =
crush. Ram the box as full as possible with styro and squeeze the =
bulging box shut to tape it. Finally, a second box guarantees your item =
will arrive in one piece if you pack the smaller box inside the larger =
one tightly.
