General Packing Tips

A few general things you need to know about packing:

  • Keep boxes to 50 lbs or less.
  • Put heavier items in smaller boxes and light items in larger boxes.
  • Pack non-breakables tightly in smaller boxes, so they're not too heavy.
  • Buy newsprint to wrap items, and bubble wrap or foam peaunts for padding.
  • Pack breakables securely with lots of bubble wrap or foam peanuts.
  • Label boxes by room, to help with unloading and unpacking. Color coding systems works great.
  • Label "FRAGILE" on all boxes with breakables. You will want to stack these boxes on top.
