Help with packing...

Pictures and Mirrors

• Wrap pictures that are small and stand them on end in boxes.
• For larger ones, buy special picture boxes.
• Consider using foam or bubble wrap.

Electronic Equipment

• It is a good idea to use the original boxes. (If you don't have them, pack items carefully and use cushion material. Bubble wrap, cushion foam, and even wadded up newspaper will help.)
• Pack items separately.
• Stack record albums on end to prevent warping and use small boxes to hold down the weight.
• Consider the temperature as heat can warp CD's and record albums.

Crystal, China, and Fine glassware

• Wrap each item with paper or foam.
• Label boxes with glass items and stack these on top.
• Add packing material to both the bottom and the top of the boxes.

Kitchen & Laundry

• You can put several small appliances in a box. Be sure to put packing material between them.
• It is a good idea to label box indicating what room it goes in and the items it contains. - Always consider the weight of what you are putting in boxes. It is better to use 2 smaller boxes than one heavy one.

Appliances

• Tape doors shut while moving.
• Wedge doors open in storage to prevent mildew.
• You can use this valuable storage space for items such as blankets and towels.

Books and other valuables

• Pack books together in small boxes - Big boxes of books can weigh too much.
• Store your valuable papers in plastic bags.
• Consider putting boxes on pallets or something to keep them off the floor.
