If you MUST do the packing, following are tips to make it easier.
- Small articles such as dishes, table lamps, pictures, and other fragile pieces must be thoughtfully and carefully packed in boxes if they are to arrive at your destination in as good condition as they were prior to being packed and moved.
- Much of the secret of packing, however, is having the right materials with which to work, and the application of some good practical sense. If you are going to do your own packing, the tips contained below will be helpful.
Materials for Packing
- Wrapping Paper: You are going to need plenty of wrapping paper. Many people save and use their old newspapers. Keep in mind, however, that the ink on newsprint never thoroughly dries. Consequently, the goods you wrap in newspapers are most likely going to be soiled and will require cleaning after unpacking, and before you put them away. For items you prefer to keep clean, it would be best to purchase some packing paper from your mover.
- Cartons: You'll need many boxes in assorted sizes. All boxes should be in good condition, and must have covers on them in order that they can be closed up and sealed.
- You can purchase cartons from your mover, if you wish. Contact MMI to purchase boxes and have them delivered to your door at no additional charge.
- Sealing Tape: The best tape for this purpose is plastic tape. Your rolls of tape should be at least 1.5 to 2 inches wide. Contact MMI for the appropriate tape.
- Magic Marker: This is for marking your packed boxes with such information as the contents of the box, "FRAGILE" "THIS SIDE UP", etc.
- Plan how you will pack. Pack items that you don't use often first.
- Label the sides of your carton with contents and the room which the carton is going to.
- If you are packing liquids, line a carton with a plastic trash bag. Never PACK FLAMMABLE ITEMS such as aerosols, fuels or toxins.
- Pack cartons tightly to the top. Do not leave airspace for the items to move around.
