@Alanjp Personally, I'd do it the way I do my glass christmas decorations, which is with paper towel. With the glasses, you can even give it extra support by stuffing the inside with paper towel as well. Our christmas decorations always survive, and I'm pretty sure it would be good for your glasses as well. Just put a few layers of the paper towel on the outside to protect it from most of the shock.

Oh and I did mean to wrap each one individually, by the way. Didn't make that 100% clear in my post.

Adding onto HDP's wrapping idea, I'd go to your local liquor store and ask for a few case boxes with internal dividers. Wine boxes are usually 12-packs. After you wrap each glass, slip it into one of the partitioned slots for extra protection. I have a huge collection of beers glasses that I've packed this way. I've been dragging them around for about 30 years, and I've never broken a glass.

@two-bit-cowboy: +1 cartons, and wrap in newspaper and none to neatly; a rough wrap has a lot more protection due to the elasticity.

@Alanjp Individually wrap with bubble wrap and packing tape. In a large sturdy box pack glasses in styrofoam peanuts. Will successfully transport even the most delicate crystal. This is info given to me by my admiral (wife). Hope this is helpful. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I think i'll be using a combination of most of your ideas to be honest! Plenty of bubble wrap, paper towels, divided boxes etc. Much appreciated!

Hello all!
I'm looking to move within the next few weeks, which in itself provides a few issues. Most notably though is the fact that i've got a collection of around 15 whisky glasses of various shapes/sizes, and my question to you guys is to do with this!
What, in your opinion, is the best way to safely wrap/transport my collection of glasses during the move? Is it best to wrap them all individually in newspaper, or smother them in bubble wrap, or is there another more suitable way of doing it? I'm worried as I dont want to lose any of these glasses in transit!
