Here are a few suggestions that will make your packing easier:

1. Plan how you will pack. Pack items first that you don’t use often.

2. Start packing as soon as you find out that you are moving.

3. Never pack flammable items or non-allowable items.

4. Use generous amounts of paper inside the carton top and bottom to provide good cushion.

5. List the contents and room on the outside of the carton.

6. Clearly mark “FRAGILE” on the outside of the carton.

7. Use clean newsprint paper. Old newspapers may work, but use them carefully because the ink may rub off onto your items. Clean “newsprint” is available from your sales representative.

8. Write “Open First” on cartons containing your essential items such as cooking utensils, toiletries, etc.

9. Separate breakables and non-breakables.

10. Pack all cartons tightly.

11. Use professional packing tape. Masking tape is not strong enough to support a fully packed carton. Packing tape is available from your Sales representative.
