  I've always used the "Dish packs" you can buy from the Container Store or Storage places.

  At most self- storage places they sell boxes and one of the boxes they have is specifically for china and glass wear.  It looks like the carton that wine bottles are shipped in or one that holds glass christmas tree ornaments with little dividers.

  I would get a few of those boxes and then wrap the glasses in bubble wrap before sliding them into the slots.For china, my grandmother keeps felt in between the dishes that she has stacked in her china cabinet.  I have no idea if that is ideal...

  I have those canvas china and glassware storage pockets and bins with dividers from BB&B to hold my stuff because it's in random closets and cupboards.  They come with squishy foam stuff to put between each plate.  I think if you had those and wrapped the glasses in bubble wrap first and wrapped bubble wrap around the stack of plates, you should be good to go.

  I'm a fan of the bigger bubbled bubble wrap and just packing breakables gently in a box or plastic tote.  And in terms of buying it, check online on like Amazon or Ebay because you'll find it cheaper than in the stores, expecially if you need a lot of it.

  We used newspaper for our china.  A lot of newspaper.  No cracks or breaks (although we do have the newer type of china that is super crack/break resistant).

  We don't have  much stemware, and still have the tubes they came with, so we used that.

  I like bubble wrap and packing paper. I also prefer to use rubbermaid totes to boxes, because I am always worried about the bottom of boxes not holding, and bc the totes are easier to stack/store than boxes.

  Yeah, we have an empty tote laying around that I think will become the china's new home.

  So...dumb question - where do you find packing paper?  Besides the storage place itself.

  If you wrap each piece in a layer of paper towel, then you can use newspaper as packing paper w/o getting ink all over your stuff.
