Tips for Packing Dishes and Glassware for Moving

 What do you think is the most common problem people face while moving? Well, it's securing the fragile glassware and other daily-use dishes. It takes a lot of time, patience, and care to pack every glass item. Most of the attention goes into the wrapping of glass and other breakable kitchen items. 

There are few extra tips you can consider for the safe moving of your glassware.

• Find proper packing materials: While moving, a frail cardboard box is not enough to protect your dishes from damages. Some movers (city) teams also provide particular boxes for packing the dishes. These boxes might be a bit costly. You can also opt for padding and bubble wrap to secure delicate items.
• Choose individual packing rather than bundles: Most people choose to pack all the dishes on top of each other. This stacking often results in the damage of multiple items. Instead, you can wrap the fragile plates separately and then stack them together. You may even re-wrap the entire stack for more security.
• Packing cups, mugs, glasses, and bowls need more packing paper: To pack the different kinds of glasses and mugs, you need extra crumpled papers for complete protection. Bubble wrap is an ideal choice to cover breakable glasses. You can fill the inside of the cups and mugs with crumpled paper for safety.

Don't try to stuff everything inside one box: If you don't wish to see the bottom of the box break, don't make it too heavy. Keeping too many items inside one carton is not a good choice. You should also cushion the dishes and fill in the gaps. Using a towel is a more eco-friendly option than paper.

 Label all kitchenware boxes as 'fragile. Marking the boxes helps both you and the removals (city) movers to know which cartons should be the top priority.
