Packing tips.
- Pack similar items together, try to pack items from the same room into the same box. This makes unpacking a lot easier.
- Keep a detailed checklist of the contents of each box.
- Make sure there is adequate padding around all your items. Items should not be allowed to move freely inside the box.
- Properly secure your boxes with packaging tape.
- Always put the heaviest items at the bottom of the box, whenever possible.
- Leave enough time to pack so that you can pack properly, and not in a rush.
- Do not over-pack the cartons, keep the cartons at an acceptable weight.
