Packing up your belongings to move can be daunting. You don’t realize how much “stuff” you have until you have to move it to a new house. One of the most daunting places to pack is the kitchen and all the gadgets that you have packed away in your cupboards. There are several things that are fragile in your kitchen as well, like your dishes. When it comes to packing up your dishes, you need to take a little extra care. Good Time Moving & Storage is here to share some tips to help you pack your dishes, so they don’t get broken during your move.

What Packaging Supplies Do I Need to Pack Dishes?

The supplies you need to pack up your dishes and breakables in the kitchen will be different than the other areas in your home. Here are some of the supplies you need to have ready.
– Reinforced cardboard boxes that can handle the weight of your glass dishes
– Bubble wrap because of its ability to protect fragile items
– Packing paper to give a soft, protective layer to anything you decide to wrap it with
– Packing tape that is high quality to secure any bubble wrap as well as close any boxes
– Black marker to label the boxes and a red marker to write fragile or handle with care on the boxes

How Do You Pack Dishes for Moving

Here are some detailed steps to make sure the dishes in your home are packed well for the journey to your new home.
– Reinforce all the bottoms of the boxes with an extra layer of packing tape. These boxes will need to be able to carry a significant amount of weight inside them.
– Pad the inside of the boxes with packing paper so that your dishes aren’t lying on the bottom of a hard box. This will help to cushion any movement during the move.
– Use a couple of pieces of packing paper around each of your dishes. You want to have plenty of padding around each one so that they aren’t cracked during the move.
– If you have dishes that are especially fragile and sentimental to you, bubble wrap will be the best way to make sure they aren’t damaged during the move.
– You can use packing tape to secure several plates together before placing them in the box. This will keep them from moving too much and will lessen the chances of breaking.
