Packing Your Kitchenware

Here are some tips for packing your pots and pans. Sometimes these boxes are the first to be unpacked, so make sure everything is clearly marked!
  • Wrap all breakable items (everything with the exception of your tupperware)
  • Separate all items, keep all cups together, plates together, separate china from cutlery, etc. You will be thankful that you did this when you are unpacking.
  • Take sheets of newsprint to cover each piece of kitchenware. I use recycled newspaper (better for the environment and more cost effective) However, if you are concerned about the ink on your dishware, you can purchase ink-free newsprint which is just as effective. Crumple the newsprint to fit each piece of kitchenware
  • Cover delicate pieces with bubblewrap over the newsprint.
  • For extremely delicate items, wrap with newsprint first, then follow with bubblewrap. If it very delicate, purchase cell packs to separate each covered piece from one another.
  • Use cell packs to separate layers of dishes.
  • Pack boxes putting the heaviest items on the bottom, lightest on top
  • Seal with extra cell packs
  • Use packing tape to seal box

Moving to a new home is a good opportunity to dispose of old, worn out or unwanted items..:-)
And one thing more is that..when you move your kitchen table and chairs, make sure to cover them with blankets..that will protect them from scratches during the move.
