Last week I ordered a wood-fired outdoor pizza oven
online, only to have it arrive broken in half.
When I looked inside the box I discovered the manufacturer had chosen to
protect a 30-lb clay oven with a single sheet of bubble wrap. As a result, the distributor was forced to
give me a full refund. This incident also
made me consider how many times people have items broken by movers, not due to
negligence on the mover’s part, but because they didn’t know how to properly
pack these items. In today’s high-tech world, there are many choices
when it comes to packing materials.
Everything from newspaper and blankets, to bubble wrap, peanuts and
packing foam are available to help you protect expensive and/or fragile items
that you intend to move. The secret to
success is knowing what material to use with which item. Below is a list of packing common materials
along with their intended uses.
