Dishes
Brothers Moving & Storage sells moving boxes that are designed for packing your dishes and kitchen. These boxes are double corrugated to hold and protect the glass. First, you want to take your dish and make sure to place it in the center of your paper pile. You want to pull the corners of the paper over the plate to securely wrap it. You want to do this to about 3-4 more plates all the same size. Stack plates together turn the stack upside down and wrap the entire bundle. Place the bundle on top of a layer of crumbled-up packing paper at the bottom of the dish pack, make sure to stand the plates upright and not lay them down. Continue this process with the rest of the plates and bowls.
Stemware and Glasses
You first want to very gently put wadded-up paper inside of the glasses, then wrap the stems and handles with paper. Make sure the slightly crumbled paper creates lots of padding for each piece. You want to pack your glasses at the top of the dish pack as these are the most fragile items. With packing a dish pack you want to have layers, kind of like a cake. Make sure to put crumpled-up paper in between each layer like frosting for extra protection. You can even take your stemware and pack it inside of a book box and then put the book box inside of the dish pack for extra protection while packing.
Other Kitchen Items
Packing other items in the kitchen can be easier. wrapping knives in paper, then tapping around the wrapped bundle and clearly labeling for unpacking safety. Pots and pans can nest with paper in between each layer. The best tip is to use a lot of paper when packing kitchen items. Place Tupperware at the top of the box.
