PACKING TIPS

1. APPLIANCES

Always wrap your small appliances in inkless newspaper or towels. For packing, use a small box padded with more newspaper first. For large appliances, be sure to check your owner’s manual first to make sure there aren't any special packing instructions listed. Be sure to add lots of packing material in the front and on the sides.

2. ART COLLECTIBLES

Use corrugated corners on each piece. Wrap them in plenty of bubble wrap. Pad the bottom of the box with newspaper.

3. BOOKS

Pack books in small boxes. The boxes get heavy very fast.

4. CLOTHING

Try to use wardrobe boxes when packing clothing.

5. ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

For electronic equipment, the best thing to use would be the original boxes with their packing materials. If you don’t have them, it’s a very good idea to use heavy-duty TV boxes. The last thing you want is for your box to bust through and destroy your equipment.

6. FURNITURE

Any furniture you can take apart, do so. Tape all drawers shut if you can. Wrap the legs of tables and chairs in bubble wrap. Try to use furniture pads.

7. KITCHENWARE

Wrap all fragile items in bubble wrap or inkless newspaper. If you are packing plates or bowls, be sure to put layers of bubble wrap or newspaper in between.
