Once you have collected the needed materials, you're ready to start packing. The major rule of thumb in packing is to make sure everything in the box is packed tightly so there is nothing moving or shaking around inside it. Remember, loose items cause damage. Crumble paper up and fill the bottom of the box. Wrap all breakables up with paper or bubble wrap. Stand the items up (do not lay down) in the box creating a layer of items. Crumble paper on top of the layer of items. Then create another layer of items, making sure you have crumbled paper between each layer of items all the way to the top of the box, with crumbled paper on top of the last layer. Seal the boxes well.

Always pack in reverse order of density. Place heavier items toward the bottom of the box and lighter items toward the top or a separate box all together, please pack the heavier items (books, papers, photos) in smaller boxes.

Label the boxes where you want them in the new place, it will save you and us time at the new location.

Do not pack aerosol cans, matches, nail polish remover, paint, paint thinner, hair spray, gunpowder, fireworks, or anything else along these lines that may be flammable. Any liquid cleaning supplies avoid packing as well, it is possible for them to leak and cause damage to other items
