The kitchen is often the most challenging room to pack because it contains fragile, oddly shaped, and valuable items. Fortunately, a few simple techniques can help protect your dishes and cookware.
Use Proper Packing Materials
Wrap plates individually with packing paper and place them vertically rather than stacking them flat. Glasses should be wrapped separately and cushioned with additional packing material.
Pack Heavy Items Carefully
Cast iron cookware, mixers, and other heavy kitchen items should be packed in smaller containers to prevent lifting injuries and container damage.
Create a Kitchen Essentials Tote
Set aside one tote for items you’ll need immediately after moving, including paper towels, basic utensils, coffee supplies, and a few dishes.
Don’t Overpack
One of the biggest mistakes people make is filling containers too heavily. Spread weight evenly throughout your totes.
Reusable moving totes provide sturdy protection and eliminate concerns about cardboard boxes weakening under heavy kitchen items.
