Packing Tips

It's always better to have your goods professionally packed. However, if you must do your own packing you'll get better results following these tips:

• Pack on a room-by-room basis.
• Do not pack articles from the living room in boxes with articles from the kitchen
• Start packing as early as possible.
• Start in areas where your belongings are not in frequent use such as the cellar, attic, garage, closet shelves.
• You may want to purchase specialized cartons from our store that will be impossible to find elsewhere.
• Hanging clothing, such as suits, dresses and coats, should be hung in wardrobe cartons that have a bar for coat hangers.
• Small, heavy articles such as books, records, canned goods, etc. should go in smal boxes.
• Large but not so heavy articles like pots, pans, linens, should go in larger boxes.
• Very large but lightweight articles such as blankets and soft toys should go in the largest boxes.
• Do not pack any hazardous materials, flammables, combustibles or explosives.
