DMCosta Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi Everyone, I'm going to be shipping a cake stand next week. I've shipped lots of things but not often large plates or cake stands. I'm concerned about it breaking in transit, any suggestions? Also, my last stint of making cake stands I bisque-fired them upside down in the kiln as someone suggested. Anyone feel that's necessary? thanks! ~Dianna www.dmcostaceramics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcery Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Does it have a stem? It'd be worth using bagged expandable foam in it's inside box, Making sure any bumps are absorbed evenly across both sections if stemmed. I cut them out of old bagged foam, or foundrafoam.

liambesaw Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Support every part with cardboard is what I'd do. That means stuffing the empty spaces and then rolling the entire thing in a cardboard sheet that extends above and below the form by at least an inch. Then padding a box and stuffing it in. This is a variation of "box in a box" shipping that has worked well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Keep the two parts from touching if your are also sending a plate bottom . As noted above use the boc in a box for 100% sure it does not get broken. Also the soone ryou send it the better as all shipper get overwhelmed this time of yesr and really get rough on boxes. Pack it so they can throw it as they will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
