Choose small boxes for books and other heavy belongings.
Reserve bigger boxes for lighter goods.
Strengthen the bottoms of all boxes with a strip (or more) of strong packing tape.
Fill boxes snugly so items don’t move around during transport.
Close and secure boxes with wide tape to keep them sealed.
Store vinyl records and CDs on their edges—never lay them flat, or they may bend or warp.
Always load heavy items first at the bottom, then stack lighter ones on top.

Furniture & Appliances

Use an appliance dolly to move furniture, large appliances, and multiple boxes.
Check the owner’s manual for each appliance to follow proper moving and safety guidelines.
Clean and dry the inside of all appliances before transporting.
Secure any removable or moving parts with tape or ties.
Don't try lifting heavy furniture or appliances alone—always have an extra set of hands.

Beds

Take apart the bed frame and label each section to make reassembly simple. Use packing tape to bundle the rails together.
Protect mattresses by covering them with plastic mattress bags.

Alternate bindings and cushion with packing paper

Keep book boxes under 30 pounds to avoid making them too heavy.
Place books with bindings facing opposite directions and add packing paper for cushioning.

Clothing

Transfer hanging clothes directly into wardrobe boxes or garment bags to keep them neat.
Pack folded clothes from dresser drawers into strong cardboard boxes. If there’s extra room, use bubble wrap to fill the gaps.

Artwork, Mirrors, & Lamps

Use bubble wrap to protect items, then place them in a large box with extra padding such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts.
Detach light bulbs, harps, and lamp shades before packing lamps.
Wrap artwork and mirrors in paper and reinforce them with cardboard for added protection.

Collectibles

Individually wrap all fragile items with bubble wrap and secure them with tape.
Pack them into a strong cardboard box, adding packing peanuts or crumpled paper between each layer.
Finish with a top layer of padding, seal the box securely, and label it as fragile.
