Helpful Hints
Tape the bottom of every box, and tape the top closed to tightly
when the boxes full. Run two strips of tape along the side and one
strip down the center. (If the box is still not strong enough, apply
more tape to the sides.)
Use small boxes for heavier items and larger boxes for light-weight
bulky items.
Wrap small/or fragile items individually.
Stuff the top, bottom and sides of boxes with paper. This prevents
shifting, rubbing, and possible breakage.

they are stacked.
Stuff boxes with fragile items with wads of paper. Do not pack items
to tightly, however when you shake the box the contents should not
move.

one. This will make me unpacking process much smoother. You may want
to make a note on the box as to which room in belongs.
