Moving Tips

• Before packing each box, line the bottom with a few inches of bubble wrap or waddedpaper for cushioning.
• Wrap fragile items with bubble wrap.
• Place large, heavy items on bottom, and light, more fragile items on top.
• Plates, books, and items of similar shape should be loaded vertically to utilize their own maximum structural strength.
• Don’t overload cartons - keep them to a manageable weight.
• Fill in any spaces and top off loaded cartons with bubble wrap or clean wadded paper.
• Close carton securely and apply 3 strips of 2" wide packaging tape to avoid shifting while en route.
• Clearly mark the room the carton should go to as well as the contents in each box.
• Use "Fragile" labels on boxes containing delicate items and "This End Up" where appropriate.
