Packing Tips

Gather packing supplies (we can help).
Get rid of anything you don’t really want or like or haven’t used in awhile.
Organize your stuff.
Disassemble anything you can for easier storage.
Use strong packing tape to secure nuts, screws and bolts to the items they go with.
Label every box and include the room it came from.
Clearly identify breakables as “FRAGILE.”
Use Styrofoam peanuts in the bottom of boxes packed with breakables.
Don’t pack all heavy items in one box.
Completely seal boxes.
Use bubble wrap and newspaper to wrap fragile items.
Unplug appliances.
Defrost freezers.
Pack a box with things you’ll need on the day you move.
