July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- Home shifting is not a fun chore. It is difficult, challenging and complicated task. It creates hectic & chaotic situations and you are in hassles during this process. You have lots of works to be done properly such as packing, loading, unloading, unpacking, etc. All works involved in home shift is very boring and annoying. Packing of goods is one such problematic work involved in household shifting. And packing of kitchen items is more difficult because a lot of fragile & breakable and expensive things are in your kitchen. Hence packing of kitchen items needs extreme care and attention. Things should be packed properly to avoid the risk of damage during transit. Here are a few tips and ideas which will help you pack your kitchen things right when you are moving to a new home.

First of all, gather appropriate packing & boxing materials to pack your kitchen right. Things you will need are boxes, cartons, masking tapes, heavy duty packaging tapes, wrapping sheets, bubble wraps, old newspapers, packing peanuts, labeling stickers, permanent markers, strings, etc.

Clean, wash and dry kitchen items, if possible. Cushion the bottoms of strong boxes or cartons with packing peanuts, padding materials, old newspapers or bubble wraps. Proper cushioning is important for safe and damage-free transportation of things.

Place enough layers of bubble wraps or newspapers or wrapping sheets between stacked plates and bowls. Wrap glasses and mugs using enough layers of good quality wrapping sheets or packing papers.

Save packing space by stacking small pans, pots, mixing bowls, etc together before placing them into strong boxes or cartons. Fill empty space by stuffing with old newspapers or other cushioning materials.

Put heavier items in the bottom of boxes and lighter items on the top. Then fill empty spaces with old newspapers or other padding materials or packing peanuts. Remember, you should pack heavy items into big boxes. Ensure that you can lift the box easily.

Wrap small kitchen appliance like mixers, grinders, coffee makers, blenders in to old newspapers or wrapping sheets and then put them in cartons.

Seal open food boxes with good quality tape. Do not pack food boxes if your goods will be placed in warehouse.

Seal all boxes or cartons with heavy duty packaging tapes. Stick labeling stickers on them and label each box by room and contents inside the box.

If you are hesitant to pack highly fragile kitchen items yourself, consider hiring professional packers and movers to pack your fragile items.
