Tips

If you are planning to pack your household items all by your self, you must take the following precautions to ensure that they reach the place of destination in a safe manner.

* Pad everything and try to eliminate empty space. This will keep the products intact and in place.

* You must supplement the products with copious amounts of blankets and pillows. The blankets and pillows act as a buffer between breakable objects.

* Select the right box for each specific need.

* Get good and sturdy boxes for packing.

* Get smaller boxes for books. Use bigger boxes for lighter items.

* Make use of heavy-duty packing tape

* Reinforce the bottom of boxes with at least one strip of packing tape.

* Pack one room at a time, labeling each box with a description of its contents and its destination.

* Don't overload boxes, making them too heavy to handle.

* Don't apply packing tape directly to polished or painted wood finishes. This is because removing the tape could ruin the surface.

* Place the box containing your best china on top of the box of encyclopedias and not vice versa.

* Pack essential items in a separate bag and carry it with you.
