Basic checklist…
Start with things used infrequently, leaving until last, the
things you'll need up to moving day.
Empty drawers of breakables before moving and storing furniture items.
Wrap fragile items individually with clean non abrasive materials.
Use a double layer of newspaper for a good outer wrapping.
Place a layer of newspaper or comparable material to create a cushion for items.
Build up in layers, with heaviest things on the bottom, medium weight next and lightest
on top. This ensures that heavier items won’t settle and break other items below.
Avoid overloading boxes, but try for a firm pack preventing items from shifting;
the cover should close easily without force.
Close boxes tightly with packing tape to ensure a properly sealed box.
Make sure to list the contents on the side of the box (for easy viewing
while boxes are stacked). You may number and/or code the cartons as well.
