Packing dishes carefully ensures your fragile kitchenware arrives intact. Proper techniques, cushioning, and organization make moving much easier.
START WITH THE RIGHT SUPPLIES
Gather all necessary materials:
• Sturdy moving boxes or dish pack boxes
• Bubble wrap, packing paper, or towels
• Packing tape
• Dividers or cardboard inserts (optional)
• Permanent markers for labeling
WRAP EACH DISH INDIVIDUALLY
Protecting each dish prevents chips and cracks:
• Wrap plates, bowls, glasses, and fragile items individually
• Use bubble wrap, towels, or newspaper
• Secure wrapping with tape if needed
PACK VERTICALLY AND USE DIVIDERS
Proper placement reduces pressure and breakage:
• Place plates and glassware vertically, not flat
• Insert cardboard dividers if available
• Fill empty spaces with crumpled paper or towels
LABEL AND ORGANIZE BOXES
Clear labeling helps during unpacking:
• Mark boxes “FRAGILE – Dishes”
• Note the contents for each box
• Keep similar items together
