PACKING TIPS
Remember, everything you pack will need
unpacking, so the more organised you are
while packing, the easier the unpacking
will be.Resist the temptation to toss items into a
bin liner; they risk damage from knocks or
bumps and mildew from lack of ventilation.Keep a written inventory as you pack.
Break it down - disassemble bed frames
and tie them together with tape or twine.
Use small plastic bags to store screws and
bolts and tape them to the frame that they
belong to.To avoid small items being thrown away
with the wrapping, wrap them in plain
paper and label them.Wrap each item of crystal, fine china or
glassware separately.
Avoid using shredded paper when packing any type of machinery, video, DVD players or similar, as it may find its way inside the workings.
Stand plates on their side, not flat.
Lay books flat in the box as this will reduce stress on the bindings. Pack in small boxes.
Clothes can be hung in special wardrobe boxes – this will save creasing.
Turn garden furniture upside down to drain all water.
Pack small appliances, computers and the like in their original boxes if you still have them.
Place an “X” across mirrors or glass-framed pictures with masking tape to strengthen them, then wrap in bubble-wrap and pack in a flattened box.
Once you have finished packing an entire room, stack all boxes against the wall, out of the path of foot traffic. This makes moving safer and more efficient.
