Not a packing pro? Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. Many of us have expensive or special tableware in our kitchen that we’d like to preserve during the moving process. From daily use glasses to fine china, here are some tips on how to pack glasses like a pro:
Step 1: Get the Right Kit
Glass Pack Kit
Looking for an easy glass pack kit that does it all? Designed to separate, isolate, and protect a variety of glassware, crystal, stemware, and porcelain, this kit is foolproof. It also includes:
- Glass pack box with easy-to-lift handles
- 18 reusable foam pouches
- 7-piece cell-divider unit
Just put your glasses into the foam pouches and then insert them into the box. It’s as simple as that.
Dish Saver Kit
Similar to learning how to pack glasses, your delicate china is just as important to keep safe during your move. You’re in luck; we have a kit for that too. The Dish Saver Kit is just as it sounds: everything you need to save your dishes and other fragile items like picture frames, collectibles, and seasonal decorations. It includes:
- 32 reusable foam pouches

This kit is easy to use. Simply set up the cells in the box, place your glasses or delicate china into the foam pouches provided and place the glasses into the box.
Step 2: Buy the Products You’ll Need
Don’t need the full kit to pack your glassware or fine china? Just purchase what you need individually. Here is a list of the products we offer to help you learn how to pack glasses and other fragile tableware to keep them safe on moving day:
Cushion Foam Pouches
Small but mighty, these pouches are the key to packing delicate items. At U-Haul, we offer these Cushion Foam Pouches in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. From wine glasses to coffee mugs, these pouches are easy to use. Simply slide the item all the way into the pouch, making sure it is completely covered, place them into the box and voila!
