Packing

---

Packing is going to be one of the most important decisions in your move.  Household goods that have been packed properly have a greater chance of not being damaged.

Self Packing

• Tips and Procedures

• When packing yourself, you need to make sure that you have a good cushion in BOTH the top and the bottom of the carton.

• Make sure that all boxes are completely closed and taped closed (Not Folded Flaps).

• Do not pack books in any carton other than the small 1.5 cu. ft. carton of a file carton of a smaller size.

• Properly mark the carton with your name, also add a brief description to the box.

• There are different sized and shaped cartons to help make sure all your valuables are properly packed.

          

Professional Packing

• Tips and Procedures

• Professionally packed cartons are marked with your name, the room they were packed in and a brief description of the contents.

• One difference in professionally packed cartons and cartons that are self packed, is the proper amount of paper that is used, both in the top and the bottom of the carton.  This is performed so that the box will not be crushed in loading, storage and transit.
