Beginning to pack your house can seem like a daunting task.  Follow these pointers and you’ll quickly gain control of the situation.

 

Getting Started

  • Set up a table in the center of the room as a "staging area". Place your boxes and packing materials near the table so they are easily accessible.
  • Pick a starting point in the room and begin packing in a clockwise direction.

 

Packing the Boxes

  • Use common sense and put heavier items at the bottom of the box and lighter, more delicate things on top.
  • Try to fit items closely together in the box to avoid them from shifting during the move.

 

Packing Breakables

  • Line your box with soft padding material. Crumpled newspaper works well.
  • Lay out a piece of bubble wrap or several sheets of clean newspaper.
  • Put your item several inches below one corner and fold it over so the item is covered.
  • Fold the item over so the backside is exposed.
  • Wrap a side corner over, turn it over and wrap the other side corner over.
  • Keep repeating this process until the item is safely protected.
  • If you’re wrapping dishes, you can stack four to five together, as long as there is bubble wrap between each dish.

 

 

TIP: Don’t forget to write down on your inventory sheet and each box a code for what’s inside.
