How to Pack Appliances (Small) for Moving

You’ll need:

• Blank newsprint or your own towels and linens
• Medium-sized boxes

TIP: Don’t use plastic peanuts or shredded newsprint, which could get into the machines and cause damage.

• Group kitchen appliances, like blenders and toasters, or other small household appliances, like hand-held vacuums and telephones, two or three to a box. ( Make sure they’re clean – don’t pack yesterday’s toast or blender drinks!)
• Make sure the bottom of the box is securely taped, then pad the bottom of the box with blank newsprint (wadded up, not shredded) or your towels and sheets.
• Put the appliances in and pad them well all around with packing material.
• Then put another layer of packing materials on top, seal the box, and mark it “Kitchen Appliances.” Now you’re good to go!
