Read Over Our Helpful Tips:
Start packing as soon as you find out you’re moving. Pack items first that you don’t use often. Never pack flammable items or non-allowable items. Use generous amounts of paper inside the carton on the top and bottom to provide good cushion.
List contents and room on the outside of the carton. Clearly mark “Fragile” on the outside of cartons. Use clean newsprint paper. Old newspapers may work, but use them carefully because the ink may rub off onto your items. Clean “newsprint” paper is available from your local agent. Write “Open First” on cartons containing essential items such as cooking utensils, toiletries, etc. Separate breakables and non-breakables. Pack all cartons tightly.
Use professional packing tape and strong boxes to be sure they withstand the move, keeping your belongings safe. Masking tape isn’t strong enough to support fully packed cartons.
