- Line the box with at thick layer of screwed up newspaper balls
- Wrap each individual cup, saucer, jug, bowl, teapot, glass, lid etc in bubble wrap or similar
- Pad the item with newspaper, so that it cannot touch anything else in the box
- Pad the item with newspaper so that it cannot touch the sides of the box
- Add a good layer of screwed up newspaper between each layer of items if necessary
