A dish box is a type of sturdy, corrugated cardboard box that comes with enhanced features aimed at providing extra protection for delicate items like plates, bowls, glassware, and other kitchenware. These really are the leaders in boxes for packing dishes and glassware. They are typically constructed with a double-walled design, which offers an additional layer of cushioning compared to standard moving boxes.
The enhanced features include built in dividers that keep each dish secure, customizable sections to meet your dishware needs, and extra padding for snug security. At Stewart Moving and Storage, when you use our packing services we incorporate packing supplies that meet your needs. If you find yourself needing a dish box for your unique items, our expert moving coordinators can help you find exactly what fits your valuables.
Pitchers:
Wrap the pitcher in packing paper. Safeguard the handle by wrapping it separately with bubble wrap to absorb shocks during the move. Filling the pitcher with paper and placing it in a box with dividers will keep the pitcher secure.
Mixing Bowls:
Nest smaller bowls inside larger ones. Then, wrap the entire stack with bubble wrap. Fill empty space with packing peanuts or paper to ensure there's no room for the items to move during transportation.
Stemware:
Individually wrap each piece of stemware with packing paper and secure with tape. Start by stuffing the interior with paper, then wrap the exterior, paying extra attention to the delicate stems. Use compartmentalized boxes designed for glasses for extra security.
Platters:
Wrap platters in bubble wrap, then secure with tape. Ensure the entire surface, especially the edges, are well-protected. Store them vertically for extra protection.

In general, small to medium boxes (1.5 to 3.0 cubic feet) are best. These types of boxes are ideal for heavy items like dishes because they prevent overpacking, which can lead to box failure or unnecessary strain during the move. If you are packing heavier items, we recommend using a few smaller boxes to keep the weight down.
Vertical packing is generally preferable for dishes as it can distribute weight more evenly and reduce the risk of damage. However, certain items, like cups and mugs, may need to be packed horizontally due to their shape or size, with extra precautions to prevent breakage.
The best strategy is a blend of the two materials. Utilize bubble wrap for your most fragile items to ensure the highest level of protection, and wrap the remaining items in paper to conserve space and minimize waste.
