There are times when you may want to pack more than one pot at a time. For example, the photo is of pots made by Rose (Pots4MyPlants on the Pottery Forum) shows how she packs pottery that she is taking to a show. Rose uses upholstery foam, bubble wrap, and heavy-duty cardboard boxes.
Note how each pot is separated from everything else by a two-inch "sleeve" of solid packing material. This reduces the chance of pots breaking due to knocking against each other as well as the outside of the box. It also ensures a snug fit; freezing the pottery in place remains paramount.
If you are packing layers of pottery, separate each pottery layer with a two-inch (or more) layer of solid packing material, such as upholstery foam, Styrofoam, or foam-core. Be sure to have layers of solid packing material on the bottom and top of the box, as well. (If you are driving your pottery yourself, you may opt for open-top boxes. These will not need the packing material on top, but you do need to be careful you don't overturn the boxes while driving.)
