Moving tips
- Tape the bottom of every box, and tape the top closed to tightly when the boxes full.
- Run two strips of tape along the side and one strip down the center. (If the box is still not strong enough, apply more tape to the sides.)
- Use small boxes for heavier items and larger boxes for light-weight bulky items.
- Wrap small/or fragile items individually.
- Stuff the top, bottom and sides of boxes with paper. (This prevents shifting, rubbing, and possible breakage.)
- Pack boxes to the top. This prevents them from being crushed when they are stacked.
- Stuff boxes with fragile items with wads of paper. (Do not pack items to tightly, however when you shake the box the contents should not move.)
- For your ease, number each box and make a list of what is in each one. This will make me unpacking process much smoother. You may want to make a note on the box as to which room in belongs.
- Make an inventory list of your property.
! DO NOT PACK the following items: Money, securities, valuable papers or jewelry. Keep these items with you at all times. Alternatively, you may prefer to leave these items in a security deposit box at the bank. Flammable items such as our aerosol cans, paint, gasoline, etc. Perishable items such is frozen foods, produce plants, etc.
