Use the original box if you kept it, or a specialty TV box with foam corners. Never lay a flat-screen flat during transport; keep it upright and padded to avoid screen pressure damage.

Wrap each plate individually in packing paper, stack them vertically like records rather than flat, and pad the box top and bottom. Vertical stacking absorbs shock better than flat stacking in a moving truck.

Related: What boxes should I use for books?
Use small boxes for books since they’re heavy and can quickly overload a large box, making it too heavy to lift safely and risking a torn bottom during the move.

🖼️ PACKING HACK: Use cardboard between picture frames when packing artwork!
Stack frames face-to-face with cardboard in between. Add a layer of bubble wrap on the outside and mark the box FRAGILE on all sides.
Your walls will thank you at the new place! 🎨

Related: How early should packing start?
Start packing non-essentials 3-4 weeks before your move date, tackling one room at a time. Save daily essentials and a “first night” box for last so you’re not scrambling on moving day.
