Label every box with general contents of box or a number that correlates to a detailed list.

Try to keep similar items together i.e. yard tools
can be kept in a empty garbage.

Use specialty boxes for clothing, electronics, and dishes.

Glass items should be individually wrapped;
“nest” cups and bowls, stand plates and platters; fill air pockets with wrapping paper or foam peanuts; don’t put breakables under other boxes.

When packing the boxes, place heavier items
on the bottom and lighter items on top as you
fill the box.

Use your furniture for storage. Empty drawers
make excellent places to stash items!

Use the same size of box if possible. This will
help keep your unit orderly.

Fill boxes to capacity. Partially full or bulging
boxes may collapse or tip over while stored.

Pack books flat to protect spines; use small boxes to avoid cartons that are too heavy to move easily.
