 | Be sure to save newspapers and purchase any additional paper, padding or cartons before
you move so that you will have an ample amount of packing
material to cushion dishes
and other packed items. |
| All loose items (i.e., dishes, bric-a-brac, stereo equipment, computer components, towels,
linens and books, etc.) should be packed in sturdy, clean
cardboard boxes. |
| Use Styrofoam peanuts or newsprint as cushioning between ALL fragile item (be careful when
using newsprint as cushioning because the ink can rub off). |
| Put books or heavy items in smaller cartons. |
| Wrap dishes individually with newsprint or paper padding and place them in "china barrels,"
if available. |
| Light items should be placed in 4.5 or 6.0 cu ft (large sized) cartons for easier loading and
unloading. |
| Miscellaneous items can be placed in 3.0 cu ft (medium sized) cartons. |
| Mirrors and pictures should be places in picture cartons. |
| Hanging clothes should be places in wardrobe cartons. Mattresses should be placed in
mattress cartons or thoroughly wrapped with protective padding. |
| Wrap all furniture either with paper pads or blankets. |
| Old, clean blankets make great padding material for furniture. |
| Make sure that you thoroughly protect all finished surfaces to prevent scratching
and rubbing against cartons and other items.
*Packing materials can be provided upon request. |
