How to pack fragile items?

Place larger items, such as plates on their side, layer with smaller items on top make sure there is enough paper around the sides with no spare room. Lampshade must be in a box. Place a Fragile sticker on the box.

It is best to use small, strong boxes for books. When packing, alternate binding edge and open edge to prevent the pages from getting interlocked and damaged. Wrap delicate books in newsprint or tissue. Tape the box well when finished.

How to pack clothing/drapes/linens?

Clothing, drapes and linens can be folded and placed in a large box. Dresser drawers can also be used for soft and light items. If possible, fasten the drawers so they do not open during moving. Clothing can also be hung in Wardrobe Boxes.

How to pack foods and liquids?

Use as much of your food items before the move, so you will have less to pack. Ensure that all boxes, containers, and shakers are sealed with tape to avoid spilling. Wrap glass canisters in newsprint, or tissue, so they do not break during moving. When packing spices and canisters, pack like items together so they are easier to find. If you are packing liquids, make sure they are tightly sealed and taped around the lid. If it is possible, place these items in a plastic bag and then in some sort of a rubber container.

Drain any small appliances with a reservoir, such as a coffee maker or an iron. Wrap small appliances in packing paper (wrapping the cord separately to avoid scratches), and place in a medium-sized box with packing paper on the bottom. Tape securely.

How to pack computers?

Before packing your computer, back up all software and personal files onto an external hard drive or DVD. Keep all manuals with the computer to make re-connection easier after the move. Remove ink cartridges from printers and place them in a sealed plastic bag. Wrap the computer in several layers of packing paper, and place it in a sturdy box. Tape securely and label ‘Fragile.’

We offer Queen and King sized mattress covers. See our Box Supply page. Mattress covers help protect the mattresses from stains and damage during the move.
