Checking internal support when packing stemware
The thin stem and wide bowl of a glass need different support. A fragile label cannot replace a suitable arrangement inside the box.
Before you start
Record glass types and quantities. If using divided cartons or inserts, check their fit against the glasses' actual dimensions.
Practical steps
- Prevent glass surfaces from touching each other.
- Fill empty spaces without creating pressure on the stems.
- Mark the contents and orientation, and avoid combining stemware with heavy kitchen equipment.
Checks on arrival
Open the box on a clear, level surface. Set aside glasses with suspected cracks or loose stems and report their condition before use.
