Furthermore, We also know that you want to avoid packing your dishes, cups, and glasses for your move, only to find that they are broken and need replacing when you arrive at your new home.

When should I use a dish box?

Yes, dish boxes are a little more expensive than your average moving box, but they’re much thicker, more protective, and more durable. If you are planning on shipping, storing, or transporting your dishes long distances or moving them abroad, we strongly recommend packing your plates, bowls, and glasses in dish boxes.
