🍳 Mighty Man Movers – Tips for Packing Your Kitchen
Packing up the kitchen can feel like the hardest part of moving. With all the dishes, glasses, and pantry items, it takes patience and good packing. Here are some expert tips from Mighty Man Movers (281-94MOVER | movehouston.org) to make it easier:
1. Gather the Right Supplies
- Sturdy boxes (small and medium work best for heavy items).
- Packing paper, bubble wrap, or clean dish towels.
- Strong tape and markers for labeling.
- Dividers for glasses and mugs if possible.
2. Declutter Before Packing
- Donate or toss out chipped plates, duplicate utensils, and expired pantry food.
- Moving is easier when you only take what you really use.
3. Start with Non-Essentials
- Pack seasonal dishes, rarely used appliances, and extra utensils first.
- Save daily essentials (coffee maker, a few plates, silverware) for last.
4. Wrap Fragile Items Carefully
- Wrap each glass, plate, and bowl individually.
- Stack plates vertically (like records) instead of flat to reduce breakage.
- Use plenty of cushioning at the bottom and top of each box.
5. Use Soft Items for Padding
- Kitchen towels, oven mitts, and napkins make great padding.
- This saves space and protects your fragile items.
6. Secure Liquids & Food
- Seal open containers with tape or place them in zipper bags.
- Avoid packing perishable or frozen foods—use a cooler for same-day transport.
7. Label Clearly
- Mark boxes “Fragile” and “This Side Up.”
- Write what’s inside and which room it belongs to (“Plates – Kitchen”).
8. Pack Essentials Separately
- Create a “first-night kitchen box” with coffee, snacks, a pan, paper plates, utensils, and dish soap.
- Keep it with you so you’re not digging through boxes after a long day.

China Packing Tips
China Packing Tips
China and fine dishware require extra care when moving. Here’s how to keep your delicate pieces safe:
1. Use Dish Packs or Double-Walled Boxes
These boxes are sturdier and protect delicate items from pressure and impact.
2. Wrap Each Piece Individually
Use clean packing paper, bubble wrap, or foam sleeves. Never stack unwrapped china—it scratches and chips easily.
3. Stack Plates Vertically, Not Flat
Place plates on their edge in the box, like records. They are stronger this way and less likely to break.
4. Cushion the Bottom and Sides
Line the box with crumpled paper or bubble wrap before loading in china. Fill empty spaces to prevent shifting.
5. Label as FRAGILE – CHINA
Make it clear to movers (and yourself) that these boxes need to be handled with care.
