Packing Tips for moving
Packing is one of the most important parts of moving. It's also one of the most annoying. So here are a few tips to make it a little less of a headache!
• Start as soon as possible! Moving can be stress free if you are
prepared
• Pack your goods in sealed sturdy boxes. If your belongings are
packed properly, there can be no excuse for damage
• Tape the bottoms of the boxes squarely with two overlapping strips of
tape exceeding the sides by at least3 inches
• Pack fragile and heavy items (dishes, stemware, collectibles, books,
canned goods, etc.) in 2 ft. cube boxes
• Pack all other goods into 4 ft. cube boxes
• Fill all boxes, but do not exceed the top and seal it like the bottom
• Label the sided of the boxes with the contents and the destination in
your new home
• Box lampshades
• Box DVD players, VCRs, cable box, etc
• Be sure to box everything that is not furniture. This will ensure
that your move will go efficiently and save you money
• Bundle larger items that don't fit in boxes (mop, broom, curtain rod,
etc.)
• Empty drawers into boxes but leave them in the desk or dresser
• Do not use tape on your furniture
