<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 66548, member: 157"]Pat,</p><p>In most cases the regular square priority boxes work really well for glass. they are very strong. Avoid the shoebox size, they are weak. As for shipping glass here is what I do I put a layer of packing peanuts on the bottom for the box and put a piece of newspaper over that. I wrap the piece generously in bubble wrap, then again with a layer of newspaper over that. Put the item in the box,making sure that there is room between the item and the box walls(including the top of the box). Then I take another sheet of newspaper and crumple it up and put it between the sides of the box and the item, enough to keep the item from sliding around. and then finish with more peanuts. Do not overdo the peanuts, you want the item snug but not tight. You should be able to close the box and shake it and not feel any movement inside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
