How can you pack dishes?
The boxes. Since these boxes will be heavy and carrying fragile items, you should use a few layers of packing tape (that will secure the bottom of each box). Make sure to secure the seams as well. The next step is to pad a layer of bubble wrap or packing paper. The weight recommendation for a box is up to 40 pounds or less.
The Wrapping. The wrapping dishes is easy. Place your plate/dish in the center of a paper, then pull up the corners to the middle, covering the plate/dish completely.
Make four as one. Pick four similar packed items and wrap them together, then tape them again.
Make sure to place heavier plates/dishes on the bottom, the more fragile place on the top. Check an extra space in the box and fill it with crumpled newspapers, kitchen linens, or packing paper. Gently shake the box, and if you feel that the contents shift inside – add more filler.
Taping and labeling boxes. Use the tape to lock the top, then label the box as “Fragile” or “Dishes.” Don’t forget to mark which way is up so your movers can load it correctly.
