How to pack a kitchen ready for moving house
Our helpful list aims to help you pack up kitchenware and other items ready for moving
house, which could help prevent breakages.
Dishes and Crockery
- Wrap dishes in packing paper and/or bubble wrap. It’s also a good idea to place sheets
of cardboard in between the dishes when you stack them - Bundle items together when you can because it makes things stronger
- Label boxes
Cookware
- Pack lids and pots separately. Wrap all the lids together in bundles
- Place smaller pots in larger ones to save space and to make sure things are tightly
packed - Use packing peanuts to fill out cardboard boxes and to prevent things from getting
scratched - Use tea towels to pad out any extra spaces

is individually wrapped - Use packing peanuts to pad out any spaces in a double-sided cardboard box to prevent
items from moving around - Label boxes

cardboard boxes - Use tea towels and towels as padding in other boxes to protect more delicate kitchen
