Beth,

Much really depends on the type of doll and the materials it is made from. You would house an all textile doll very differently from a plaster body doll with a porcelain head and wooden legs. So the more specific you can be about the type of doll the better the responses will be for your question.

Cheers!

Do you have some pictures of the dolls so we can get a better idea of what you're working with? As it is, with most dolls I've worked with, I prefer nesting them in tissue paper. Using rolled tissue paper to support the neck and individual nests for the head gives a little more cushioning that supports but isn't hard enough to harm the dolls if the drawers/boxes get seriously jarred.

Dolls can vary in so many ways, that there is no one way to pack them.
