Packing & Storage Tips
Careful packing and being aware of a few precautions can go a long way toward preventing damage and making your moving experience a positive one.
- Use same-size boxes to make stacking easier
- Don’t put items that could be damaged by moisture in plastic bags
- Fill each box completely and use paper or bubble wrap to fill holes
- Don’t make your boxes to heavy to actually move
- Use different kinds of boxes for different things, like books, clothing and glassware
- Wrap dishes individually in bubble wrap
- Wrap framed art in bubble wrap
- Store framed artwork and mirrors vertically
- Label boxes clearly and mark certain ones as “fragile”
- Take apart furniture items when applicable and remove lampshades to minimize damage
- Cover furniture with sheets or blankets for extra protection
- Place heavy items on the bottom and lighter items on top
- Place less essential items in the back of your unit
- Leave room between boxes and items so that you can walk through
