Most often, mugs are made from porcelain. What this means is that they are rather fragile and can break easily during a house move unless you pack them really well using adequate padding materials such as packing paper and bubble wrap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good news<\/strong>. Porcelain mugs are fairly inexpensive, so unless a concrete mug you own has sentimental value for you, then it shouldn\u2019t be a problem for you to replace any mugs that did not survive the relocation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bad news #2<\/strong>. Despite their universal affordability, mugs often have sentimental value because they happen to be very popular gifts thanks to their high degree of personalization. Mugs usually have some sort of personalized inscriptions or messages on them, general words of wisdom (quotes), or images that have special meaning for the person receiving the mug as a gift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re about to move to another home, you\u2019ll want to move your favorite mugs with you. And there isn\u2019t a single reason why you shouldn\u2019t. The only thing you\u2019ll need to know is how to protect these highly breakable kitchen items so that they arrive in the new home\u2019s kitchen in the condition they left the old one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you will find how to pack mugs for moving in 10 simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Make_an_inventory_of_all_your_mugs\">Step 1. Make an inventory of all your mugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about this: is it worth packing and moving mugs that you\u2019ve never really liked and don\u2019t actually intend to use after the move? Of course not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why your very first task when packing mugs for moving is to decide which porcelain cups to take with you and which ones to leave behind \u2013 usually to just throw away for recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this purpose, you\u2019re going to need to inventory your kitchen mugs and decide what you\u2019re going to do with each one on a case-by-case basis. Here are the steps that will show you how to inventory your mugs prior to packing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Arrange <\/strong>all mugs you can find in the home onto the kitchen table;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take <\/strong>a closer look at each and every mug to see whether it\u2019s damaged in any way. Mugs are usually damaged in one of three ways: stains, cracks, or chips;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Form <\/strong>two different groups as you\u2019re sorting out your kitchen mugs \u2013 a group for the ones that you will take with you and a group for the ones you won\u2019t take with you;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Base <\/strong>your decisions on a combination of factors. For example, you can choose to move a mug that\u2019s in relatively bad condition simply because it\u2019s a gift from a special person. And vice versa \u2013 you can choose to discard a mug that\u2019s in pristine condition simply because you have no special attachment to it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Get_rid_of_the_mugs_that_are_not_worth_moving\">Step 2. Get rid of the mugs that are not worth moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following steps will show you how to pack the mugs you\u2019ve decided to take with you to the new home. But this step is about figuring out what you should do with the mugs you won\u2019t move with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you just throw all unwanted cups away? Or should you gift them to somebody who you know will use them? Or maybe you should do the right thing and donate to charity the ones that you\u2019ve never used until that moment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consider <\/strong>gifting to your friends some of the brand-new mugs that you may own. This is especially relevant when you know somebody who you just know will love a mug you\u2019re not taking with you;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Donate <\/strong>to charity some of the mugs you\u2019ve never used, especially if you happen to have a bunch of them. Mugs are not valuable items but some charities will take them as long as they are new;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try <\/strong>to sell<strong> <\/strong>the brand-new mugs you may own at a moving sale together with other unwanted items;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Throw away <\/strong>for proper recycling all the ceramic cups that you won\u2019t move and that are damaged in any way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/get-rid-of-unwanted-items\/\">How to Get Rid of Unwanted Items When Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Prepare_the_packing_materials\">Step 3. Prepare the packing materials<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"400\/320\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mugs.jpg\" alt=\"How to pack coffee mugs for moving\" class=\"wp-image-35973 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mugs.jpg 400w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mugs-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some mugs are just too special to be left behind during a move.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The next step when packing mugs for a move is to prepare the necessary packing supplies so that you won\u2019t have to interrupt the packing process once you start it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that porcelain mugs are rather fragile and can easily break during a house move. Therefore, you\u2019re going to need a number of padding materials to keep your cups safe all the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cardboard box<\/strong>. A medium-sized box made of thick corrugated cardboard should be a suitable container for your breakable kitchen items. If possible, get your hands on a dish pack (aka dish barrel) \u2013 a double-walled cardboard box specially made for transporting kitchen plates, glasses, mugs, cups, and other breakable kitchen stuff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soft packing paper<\/strong>. Wrapping paper will be critical for keeping your porcelain mugs safe. You can either get soft, white packing paper or you can use harder, brown paper that\u2019s called Kraft paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bubble wrap<\/strong>\u00ae. You\u2019re going to need bubble wrap\u00ae for the mugs that are really special to you in any way. For the rest of the cups, packing paper should be enough to keep them safe during transit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Packing tape<\/strong>. You\u2019re going to need tape to secure the paper bundles, reinforce the packing box, and seal the carton when you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A permanent marker<\/strong>. Have a marker pen on hand to label the box correctly when you\u2019re done packing it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/packing-move-kitchen\/\">How to Pack a Kitchen When Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bubble Wrap\u00ae is the registered trademark of Sealed Air Corporation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Reinforce_the_moving_box\">Step 4. Reinforce the moving box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When packing mugs into a box, you want to make sure that the cardboard container will be strong enough to withstand the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a dish pack to transport your kitchen breakables, then the extra thickness of the cardboard walls should give you enough insurance that there won\u2019t be any accidents on the road. However, if you\u2019re using an ordinary middle-sized moving box, then you\u2019re going to need to reinforce the carton just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to reinforce the box you\u2019re going to use to pack your kitchen mugs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tape <\/strong>the bottom of the box and its sides using good-quality packing tape. This step is more of a safety measure to prevent accidental breakage of the carton while it\u2019s being carried around;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place <\/strong>crumpled paper on the inside bottom of the box to create a soft insulation layer that will add extra protection for your breakables. Feel free to use crushed newspapers simply because newsprint shouldn\u2019t cost you anything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Wrap_each_mug_in_packing_paper\">Step 5. Wrap each mug in packing paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the cardboard box is ready for the fragile kitchen items, it\u2019s time to protect each mug individually so that it stays perfectly intact during the haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to pack mugs for moving is to wrap each one in several layers of soft wrapping paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Place <\/strong>the big stack of packing paper onto the kitchen table \u2013 the usual packing hub for all kitchen items;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check <\/strong>whether the mugs you\u2019re about to pack up are dry. If not, dry them out completely using a towel or paper towels;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Position <\/strong>a mug onto the center of the paper stack as<strong> <\/strong>you would normally do when you put a glass on the table<strong>;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take <\/strong>a couple of sheets of paper from one corner and tuck them inside the mug. Repeat the same with the remaining 3 corners so that the empty cup is filled inside with soft paper while the exterior is wrapped well with a double layer of packing paper;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use <\/strong>a few small pieces of tape to secure each paper bundle. This way, you\u2019ll know that the two paper layers around each mug won\u2019t start to unwrap during the move.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-hire-packers\/\">How to Pack Glasses for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Add_bubble_wrap_around_favorite_mugs\">Step 6.

Or maybe the design of some of your mugs is what makes them so special for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, you\u2019ll want to make sure that you do all in your power to pack your favorite coffee mugs or tea mugs in the best possible way \u2013 and the best way in this case is the safest way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when packing mugs for moving that you do love, you\u2019re going to need to add another protective layer over the initial paper one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wrap <\/strong>a single sheet of bubble wrap<em>\u00ae<\/em> around each cherished mug you\u2019ve already protected with paper;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use <\/strong>bits of packing tape to secure the external layer of bubble wrap<em>\u00ae<\/em> and to keep it from getting unwrapped during transit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Pack_each_mug_into_the_box\">Step 7. Pack each mug into the box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment you\u2019re done wrapping a porcelain cup in paper (plus bubble wrap<em>\u00ae<\/em> for the valuable ones), you should transfer the protected mug into the box you\u2019ve prepared for the task. Remember that in one of the previous steps you should have already double-taped the bottom and sides of the carton and created a soft insulation layer of crumpled paper on the inside bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, it\u2019s not a good idea to keep the protected mugs on the kitchen table for fear of accidentally knocking one onto the floor while you\u2019re busy packing the other mugs for moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Place <\/strong>carefully each protected mug onto the bottom layer of crumpled paper inside the cardboard box;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Position <\/strong>the next paper-wrapped cup by the first one, arranging them in a snug fashion. The good news is that the fragile porcelain items won\u2019t be able to get into contact with each other thanks to the padding layers of packing paper;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be <\/strong>mindful not to apply too much pressure when trying to fit yet another mug into the box. When one row of ceramic cups is ready, you can start a new one or prepare another box altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/pack-fragile-items-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Fragile Items<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Protect_the_mugs_inside_the_box\">Step 8. Protect the mugs inside the box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When packing fragile items for moving, one of the most important things you should know upfront is that breakables should not shift around when arranged inside a packing box. In reality, any movement inside a cardboard box during transit increases the risk of damage to your fragile things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is all about making sure that the mugs you\u2019ve packed cannot move inside the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inspect <\/strong>the arrangement of the mugs when you finish packing the first (bottom) row. If you notice any gaps between the paper bundles, insert more paper or pieces of discarded bubble wrap<em>\u00ae<\/em> into the empty spaces. Using old newspapers as space fillers is also fine;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete <\/strong>the shake-up test to ensure you\u2019ve packed your porcelain cups correctly. Lift the box in the air and shake it gently \u2013 you shouldn\u2019t feel anything to be moving inside the container. If you do, add more padding materials into the gaps for full immobility;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place <\/strong>a sheet of bubble wrap<em>\u00ae<\/em> when you\u2019re done arranging one row of paper-wrapped mugs, then start setting up the top row.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Close_the_box_securely\">Step 9. Close the box securely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re almost ready with the task of packing coffee mugs and tea mugs for moving. Don\u2019t rush the final two steps of the packing process since they often prove to be more important than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/boxes-tape.jpg\" alt=\"How to pack glasses and mugs for moving\" class=\"wp-image-35979 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/boxes-tape.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/boxes-tape-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Packing up your mugs safely is a task you can manage on your own&#8230; unless you&#8217;re running out of time.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Finish <\/strong>arranging the top row of fragile porcelain cups.

Bear in mind that going for the cheapest packing tape you can find often proves a mistake in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Label_the_box_appropriately\">Step 10. Label the box appropriately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final step to packing mugs for moving is to label the box correctly, which in turn will enable you to reach 3 goals at the same time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Making <\/strong>sure the box containing your kitchen cups will be taken to the new home\u2019s kitchen;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Being <\/strong>able to find your favorite coffee mug shortly after your things are delivered to the new place; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instructing <\/strong>whoever\u2019s carrying the box that they should be careful because there are breakable things inside it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Labeling the box containing fragile kitchen items is easier than ever. Just take a black marker and write <strong>MUGS <\/strong>(or <strong>CUPS<\/strong>) and <strong>KITCHEN <\/strong>on two sides of the box. Also, it\u2019s a very good idea to use a red marker to write down <strong>FRAGILE<\/strong> and <strong>HANDLE WITH CARE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing mugs for moving is not a very complicated task, but it does require time to be done correctly and safely \u2013 time that you may not have, especially when moving out in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider hiring <a href=\"\/moving-cost-estimator.php\">professional packers and movers<\/a> who will pack your fragile kitchen items not only in record time but in the safest way possible as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-hire-packers\/\">How Much Does It Cost to Hire Packers?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highlights Your favorite coffee mug is one of the first things you get to see and use each morning as you\u2019re taking your morning dose of coffee in an attempt to wake up for the busy day ahead of you.
