Everyone knows that the kitchen is one of the hardest places when pack for long distance move or local move. Most people use their kitchens often, so unlike the guest room, it's likely that there will be things that can break.
How should you deal with this huge moving thing? With good planning, insider information, and a lot of packing paper. You can make your moving stress free With following packing tips. Here's how a pro would pack the hardest things in the room.
There are a lot of stores that sell dishware packaging. The best, but also the most expensive. As long as you take your time and pack it well, a simple box will do the job.
Start by putting your dish in the middle of a sheet of packing paper. Then, draw the corners of the paper over the dish to secure it.
Add three more plates of the same size and do the same thing again.
After you taped the bundle you just made together, put the four plates on top of each other, turned the stack over, and taped it all up again.
Before putting them in the little box, the dishes should be stacked vertically on a thick layer of packing paper. (If you lay dishes flat, they are more likely to break.) Keep putting packages in the box until it is completely full.
Fill the top and all four sides with more packing paper, then tape the box shut. Mark fragile boxes that are upside down.
Repeat for bowls that are about the same size.
Cups and glasses should be carefully stuffed with wadded-up packing paper. The paper should then be used to wrap the stems and handles, providing cushioning and wrapping the whole thing in paper.
Instead of laying glasses, cups, and stemware flat in a box, stack them upright and protect them with lots of crumpled packing paper.
If all of the glasses in your packing boxes are about the same size, you can stack them neatly and use crumpled packing paper to fill any empty spaces.
Mark fragile boxes that are upside down.
If your stemware is very fragile, you might want to put it in two boxes.
When you're done packing, put the smaller box inside the bigger one. Make sure there's enough room between the two boxes for the packing paper. (You can also use this method to send fragile items through the mail.)
Big items, like pitchers, should have their handles wrapped in packing paper before they are wrapped individually.
First, you wrap the handle of the teapot with rolled-up paper. Then, you wrap the spout with more paper.
The teapot should be placed upside down in the lower right corner of a stack of packing paper. Then, many sheets should be folded over it to make a bundle, which should be taped together.
Wrap the teapot lid separately and put it in the same box as the pot (the teapot should remain upside down in the box).
Each knife should be wrapped in its own piece of paper and then in bubble wrap. (Or use sleeves designed to protect knives.)
Before you start to open the packages, put warning labels on them to let you know about any sharp edges.
Sort the pans and pots by size, then pack them into nests.
First, put two or three sheets of packing paper in a large pan. Then, put a smaller pan in the large pan and cover it with more packing paper.
Just switch it out for a smaller pan, and so on.
Wrap at least three layers of packing paper around the nested pans, starting with the bottom layer.
Secure the contents of the bundle with tape before putting them in a box lined with packing paper.
