- Plan how you will pack. Pack items first that you don’t use often.
- Start packing as soon as you find out you are moving.
- Use generous amounts of paper inside the carton on the top and bottom to provide good cushion.
- Never pack flammable items or non-allowable items.
- List contents and room on the outside of the carton.
- Clearly mark “Fragile” on the outside of cartons.
- Use clean newsprint paper. Old newspapers may work, but
use them carefully because the ink may rub off onto your items. Clean
“newsprint” paper is available from your local agent.
- Write “Open First” on cartons containing essential items such as cooking utensils, toiletries, etc.
- Separate breakables and non-breakables.
- Pack all cartons tightly.
- Use professional packing tape. Masking tape isn’t strong
enough to support fully packed cartons. Packing tape is available from
your local agent.
