All artwork, mirrors, marble tops, glass tops, pictures should be packed in mirror, picture boxes, unless they are very small. The small items may be packed in dish pack box on edge. The van line professional packers should crate the very large glass tops and marble tops. Their weight makes them impractical to be moved by a box.
The following moving supplies will be needed to secure your artwork, mirrors, marble tops, glass tops, and pictures for moving:
Tape
Blank newsprint paper or Bubble Wrap®, picture boxes
Framed Art Work and Prints
Prepare a picture box for the artwork by putting wadded newsprint paper on the bottom of the box. Do not close the top end of the box.
Wrap each individual artwork or print with newsprint or wrap them in Bubble Wrap®.
Put the item in the box and if they fit loosely in the box, fill in the spaces with lightly wadded newsprint paper.
Tape the box shut and mark it "Fragile-Art Work."
Glass Tops
Prepare a picture moving box for the glass top by putting wadded newsprint paper on the bottom of the box or each box. Do not close the top end of the box.
Wrap each individual glass top with newsprint or wrap them in Bubble Wrap®.
Put the glass top in the box and if they fit loosely in the box, fill in the spaces with lightly wadded newsprint paper. If two boxes are needed for the glass top then put the second box on top of the other by telescoping them together and fill spaces with lightly wadded newsprint paper.
Tape the box or boxes shut and mark it "Fragile-Glass Top."
Marble Tops
