  2. Prepare the box When packing plates and other fragile items, it's best to use sturdy boxes or containers to lessen the risk of breakage when the goods are transported. Whilst it is possible to reuse boxes, it is highly recommended new dish pack boxes since they are thicker and sturdier than other boxes. Assemble the moving box and reinforce the bottom with layers of packing tape. Push the part with your hand to test its strength and make sure there are no gaps. Line the bottom and sides with blankets, towels, linen, or wads of crumpled paper to act as cushions for the plates. If you're using wads of paper, make sure that the entire bottom part of the box is covered.

  3. Wrapping the plates Place a stack of packing paper on a table or flat surface. Take the first dish and place it in the centre of the topmost sheet and fold one corner of the sheet, covering the whole plate. Take the next dish and fold the second sheet over the plate and repeat once or two more times before wrapping the remaining three corners over the dishes. Secure the wrapped plates using packing tape. Repeat the process until all your dishes are wrapped.

  4. Packing the plates Place the dishes vertically or sideways in the dish pack box, as this allows the edges to sustain more pressure compared to when the plates are laid flat. Plates are more susceptible to damage or breaking if they are laid flat at the bottom of the box.

  5. Fill the gaps and seal the box Using blankets, linen, towels, wads of paper, or other soft materials, carefully fill the gaps to secure the plates. Seal the box using packing tape. Take the marker and label the box properly. Mark the box as fragile so that it won't be placed at the bottom of the moving vehicle. Whether you're hiring a team of professional removalists or you're opting for a DIY move, it's important to make sure that plates and other fragile items are packed properly using study and high-quality packing materials. You may be able to save a tiny sum by re-using moving boxes and other packing materials, but this makes your items more susceptible to damage since the boxes may not be as sturdy as new ones. You can use these for other items, but as much as possible, use new materials for plates, glasses, ceramics, and other fragile items.
