Using ready-made packaging – this is by far the quickest way to pack a gift. You’ll find many gift boxes in the shops in a variety of formats and shapes. Their advantage is not only the simplicity of packaging, but also the fact that you don’t have to wrap them in paper additionally.

For a porcelain gift to be the perfect gift, it needs to be packaged both neatly and securely so that it does not get damaged in transit. But don’t worry – its preparation doesn’t have to be complicated at all. How do you pack delicate china? Here’s what you need to do:

Prepare the necessary materials – cardboard box, tissue paper, decorative foil or gift paper. Also remember scissors, adhesive tape or glue.
Secure the china – this is an important step, especially if you don’t have corporate packaging. Wrap the porcelain in bubble wrap, tissue paper or several layers of kraft paper. If you are packing plates, you can also wrap them in layers of paper or thin cardboard to protect them from breakage.

The china has been securely packed in the box of your choice – you already know it will definitely survive the journey. However, it is worth ensuring that the gift looks aesthetically pleasing.

A decorative ribbon ribbon or a bow – these add a touch of elegance to the gift and, as they are available in many colours, can be easily matched to the occasion and the look of the gift.
Decorativepaper – this is the classic way to decorate a gift. Many of us cannot imagine giving a box without first wrapping it in coloured paper.
Reefs and jute strings – these work well if you’re looking for a natural and minimalist look for your gift.
Personalised extras – you can also attach a signature or greeting label to the gift, which will further emphasise the personalised nature of the gift.

What to keep in mind when packing a porcelain gift?

When preparing a porcelain gift, it is extremely important to secure it well. You can use different kinds of decorative papers, tissue paper, fillers or cotton wool for this purpose. You may also be tempted to use seasonal fillings – moss, autumn leaves and twigs will look beautiful and protect the delicate porcelain from breakage.

And don’t forget the decorations – choose them depending on the occasion and the effect you want to achieve. You can use decorative ribbons, colourful bows or strings of natural raffia. Use ready-made gift labels and sign them or put personalised greetings on them.
