Choosing the Correct Box Size

• Heavy items such as books should be placed in smaller boxes
• Lighter items such as clothing and blankets can be placed in larger boxes.
  • Pack heavier items in bottom of each box

Note: Too much weight in a box can cause the box to break.
 

Fill Boxes Full

• Don’t leave empty space in the boxes
  • Stuff towels, clothing, newspapers to fill voids

Note: Empty space causes items to shift during transport and often leads to items breaking.
 

Pack Similar Items Together

• Packing items of similar size and weight together helps ensure safety of your items.
   

Tape Boxes Well

• Tape Top and Bottom of each box to ensure the box does not come apart
  • Cross folding boxes closed often leads to boxes coming apart and your belongs to fall on the ground
     

Bag all Liquids

• All liquids such as soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent should be sealed inside a bag then placed upright inside box.

Note: liquids not packaged correctly have the potential to spill out, damaging your other items.
