Planning for a move? Don’t know how to pack all your belongings? Before you start packing your belongings, get the following supplies ready , and keep them all in one area.

Boxes Marking pen Bubble wrap Tape Scissors and tape measure

Select the Right BoxHeavy items such as record albums, books etc… should be put in smaller cartons whereas some items such as bedding, blankets and linens should be packed in a larger box.

Never overload cartonsYour packed boxes should not weigh more than you can comfortably lift. And make sure the box remains square and is not bulging to keep them stable when stacking.

Label Each CartonUse the marking pen to clearly label each box and list both the general contents and the room it is to be placed in. Label the side of each carton rather than on the top so that stacked boxes can be identified.

Tape the Bottom of CartonsTaping the bottom of cartons before filing them prevents the contents from spilling out from the bottom.

Use Bubble wraps and PapersAll breakable items should be wrapped individually in bubble wrap or papers to avoid damage during loading and unloading.
