Make sure that you have the proper type and size of box
for everything you have to pack (see Packing
Box Sizes and Uses).
-
Assemble your boxes and tape all seams securely with
a sturdy tape
-
Put crumpled newsprint in the bottom of each carton.
-
Use two sheets of unprinted newsprint or tissue (depending
of the fragility of an item) to wrap all items that are
not soft and unbreakable
-
Put large and heavy items in the boxes first, followed
by smaller and lighter items that can be used as filler
-
Use a layer of crumpled paper as the top layer
-
Securely tape the top seams of the box
-
Clearly label each box (on sides of box) with your name
and the room the box will go in at your new residence.
Mark boxes that contain breakable items “FRAGILE”
and mark boxes that contain items you will need right
away “UNPACK FIRST”
