Tips on how to pack your breakables:
	

Plates and Flat China
Begin with the larger items. Smaller items can go toward the top. Wrap each piece individually with several pieces of newsprint. Next, wrap three to five previously wrapped plates together and 
stand each bundle on its edge. Never lay plates flat. Add 3-4 inches of crumpled paper and a cardboard divider before creating a second level.

 
	

Lamps
Remove shade, bulb and harp assembly. Double wrap the bulb and harp assembly. Wrap the base and cushion it in a dish pack or similar type box. For lampshades, select acarton size close to the shade measurements. 
Pack only one shade per container. Don't use crumpled newsprint inside or around the outside of the shade. Glass lampshades and chandeliers should be professionally packed in sturdy crates.

 
	

Food
Never pack perishable items, aerosol kitchen products or frozen food. Box dry foods in medium-sized cartons after taping any openings or tops closed. Jars should be also taped shut, wrapped, and cushioned. 
Pack cans and jars in smaller cartons.

 
	

Clothing
Clothing can be left in sturdy dressers or packed in suitcases. Other foldable items should be packed in medium-sized cartons. Hanging clothes should be packed in wardrobe cartons available from your Oasis Moving crew. 
If wardrobe cartons are not used, be sure to remove hangers and pack in lined cartons. Hats should be left in their boxes and packed in moving cartons. Small boxes loosely filled with newsprint also help protect hats.

 
	

Mirrors, Glass Table Tops, Pictures, Paintings, etc.
We recommend purchasing special boxes for these items to keep them as safe as possible. Only one article should be packed per carton. You should consider professional crating assistance for oversized or heavy items, such as table tops.

 
	

Glassware, Silverware & Bowls
Cups with handles should be cushioned with an additional layer of paper and packed with rims down. Cushion and layer with crumpled paper. Always individually wrap each glass and never put one piece inside another. 
Glasware should be placed on the very top level of the box.

 
	

Books
Pack in smaller boxes with open edges alternating with the bindings. Hardcover books or those with fragile covers should be wrapped for protection.

 
	

Draperies and Curtains
Wardrobe cartons are excellent for hanging curtains and drapes. You can also fold and pack them in boxes that have been lined with clean newsprint.

 
	

Bedding
Mattresses and box springs must be covered to protect them from soil and damage. Appropriate sized mattress covers are recommended and available from Oasis Moving And Storage.
