Now that is the kind of packing I can definitely trust! Items that involve glass are indeed hard to pack, but there are many ways on how it can be done properly. I was thinking that, isn't the box supposed to have the same size as the painting frame to keep it from moving inside? Then I realized it needs a breather, so it will just bounce when the package hits the floor. It's still safe because the shredded papers absorb the shock. Thanks for sharing!
