Packing tips
- Don’t mix items from different rooms in the same box
- To make closets easier to pack, use wardrobe boxes. The clothes that are in drawers can be packed in suitcases
- For books, use small boxes. Remember, books get very heavy quickly
- Don’t use printed newspaper to wrap fine china
- Stack dishes upwards when you pack them
- Pack important and sentimental documents, including family records, children’s health records, insurance information, passports and photo albums, separately. Doing so will make them easily accessible
- Follow this rule: the heavier the item, the smaller the box
- Don’t use duct tape. Use packing tape instead
- Try to pack all electronic equipment in their original boxes. If you don’t have the original boxes, wrap them using bubble wrap when you pack them
