A. In my opinion you should start by taping a letter "X" across the glass. In case the glass did break it will prevent pieces from getting into and on to your other boxes. Next place stretch wrap around the glass, to prevent scratches and dust. After that, place bubble wrap about 3-5 times around the glass to cushion it, with extra around the circumference. Place the glass top into a frame box if it will fit. If
not, you can always customize a regular large box by folding it flat and then cutting one side open with a box cutter. Then fold the box over your table top and bend it to the proper dimensions needed. Tape it up and label the box as
fragile.
When packing the box into your moving truck, make sure not to place the glass face down or pack other boxes on top of it. Put it on its side against the wall of the moving truck with other heaver boxes in front of it to prevent it from shifting during transport. For extra cushioning, place your box on top of some folded towels.
