Relocating can
be stressful with major changes in your life and that of
your families.
Therefore, we have a listed a number of things for you to
consider when planning your move, if you decide to do it
yourself.
Packing Suggestions
Basic Guidelines
-
Label each box
with your name and job reference number
-
Use strong
boxes, those provided by your mover
-
When packing
breakables, leave a 2-4 inch layer of white paper at the
bottom, sides and top of the box.
-
When packing a
box, place heavier items on the bottom, less heavy and
lightest on top
China
and Glassware:
-
Use china
boxes, and unprinted newspaper.
-
Plates: Wrap
each piece separately in white paper. Place them in the box.
-
Bowls: wrap
individually, stack 4-2 together, wrap all again and place
then standing on edge in the box.
-
Cups and
Glassware: Wrap cup handles in paper, then wrap entire cup.
Place them in box with all handles pointing in the same
direction. Wrap everyday glasses individually.
-
STEMWARE: Use
white packing paper. Use a box with dividers. Wrap each
glass individually, stand on rim in box.
OTHER
ITEMS:
-
Books: pack
books standing on bottom edge in book boxes.
-
Clothing:
Wardrobe boxes can be used for handling clothing. Other
clothing, blankets and linens can be folded and packed in
linen boxes. We recommend emptying all dressers and
chests as the added weight can make them difficult to move
susceptible to damage.
-
Pots and Pans:
Use china boxes; stack them together with a few pieces of
paper in between them. Fill all empty spaces with newspaper.
-
Lamps and
Lampshades: Remove shades and bulbs. Wrap lamps in layers of
paper and place in box on base. Wrap lampshades lightly in
paper, nest one inside the other, and pack in separate box.
-
Electronic
Equipment: Wrap theses items heavily in bubble wrap and
place in box (ideally in the original boxes). Place bubble
wrap at bottom and sides to prevent movement.
-
Paintings, Mirrors, and
Glass: Use picture boxes and bubble wrap. Valuable pieces
may need to be professionally crated by us.
