China Carton
Dimensions 18" X 18" X 28"
The china carton is designed more for professional, rather than homeowner use. It
is a large double wall carton designed to be self supporting. This carton will protect
your fine china and crystal, while supporting a load without any internal filler.
Packed correctly, goods within a china carton can withstand moderate to heavy
shock, without sustaining damage.
After assembling the carton, a pad made up of twelve to fourteen sheets of
crumpled newsprint should be placed evenly in the bottom of the carton. This will
effectively provide a shock absorber for the bottom layer of goods. Heavier items
such as mixing bowls, dinner plates, large vases, or decanters, etc, should be
packed on edge (not as they sit on the table), or vertically (in the case of decanters,
etc.), to fill the bottom layer in the carton.
Another pad of twelve to fourteen sheets of crumpled newsprint should be applied
to the top of this layer to provide a buffer for the next layer. This layer should be
made up of smaller bowls, bread and butter plates, water glasses, etc. These
pieces should also be packed on edge or vertically. Vertically and on edge is
probably starting to sound like a broken record. There is a reason. If things are
packed horizontally in a large carton, the compaction factor could be twenty layers
or more, when they are packed on edge or vertically, the factor is reduced to three
or four. The lower the factor; the less risk of damage. OK. Back to packing a china
carton!
The third and probably last layer, must be supported, once again, on a pad of
crumpled newsprint. This layer can be made up of fine crystal, ornaments, and
general bric-a–brac found in a kitchen. Small spaces on top of this layer can be
filled with well wrapped small pieces such as salt and pepper shakers, tea cups, etc. Well
wrapped, as there is no buffering layer between the third layer and these final
pieces, and, as always, on edge or vertically.
Fill any remaining airspace in the carton with crumpled newsprint, and seal the
carton on all seams. Now label it well on the top and two adjacent sides.
Et Voila!!! You've packed a china carton.
