Packing Tips

This section of our site will help ensure that your belongings are packed safely.

• Fragile Items

  Wrap all fragile items with bubble wrap. Our standard boxes help you save such items. Use tape to wrap mirrors and glass frames. Label such items FRAGILE.

• Appliances

  Use kitchen towels, linen or inkless newsprint to wrap small appliances. Put a layer of paper or bubble wrap in the carton before putting the appliances. For bigger appliances, read packing instructions in the manual. Get thick packing if you do not have the original packing material. Remove removable parts from the appliances before packing.

• Electronic Items

  Ideally, original packing should be used. Otherwise, use bubble wraps to wrap them before putting in box.

• Furniture

  Safely store the nuts and bolts of furniture while disassembling. Put in a plastic bag and attach with carton. Shut drawers with tape. Do not forget to wrap exposed leg pieces of furniture. Use furniture wrap to prevent scratches.

• Kitchenware

  Wrap breakable items in bubble wrap. Use bubble wrap between glass plates and bowls. Put heavy items at the bottom of a box. Wrap unbreakable items in inkless newsprint. Separate the delicate items with cell packs. Pack essential (daily needs) items in a separate box.

• Clothing

  Use wardrobe boxes to move your clothing on hangers straight from your closet to the box. Pack drawer clothes in bags or suitcases.

• Books

  Pack in small boxes, otherwise they become too heavy. Use inkless newsprint to fill the empty space in box.

• Collectibles

  Wrap each piece with bubble wrap. Use lots of packing material in between, on side and on top. Give padding at the bottom of the box. Do not forget to label FRAGILE.
