·       Cover each part of the machine like separate blenders in a wrapping paper and place them in a box.

Packing Fragile Items

Items like coffee mugs, dinner ware, glassware, bone china crockery are very fragile and prone to maximum damage. Covering them in Newsprint is not enough. Instead of newsprint, use bubble wrap for extra security. While packing plates, place them sideways, instead of placing them flat on the box. This would not only save space, but also protect them from maximum damage.  When you place them in the box, don’t forget to mark the face up side with and marker and label the item as fragile, so that the packers and movers in Pune take extra precaution while offloading them.

Unlike any other room, the kitchen takes up the maximum amount of time in packing. This tiny corner has a lot of diverse items, which need separate packing and labeling. So start your job early to ensure that you do not leave anything unfinished at the last hour.
