  • Use a china box
  • It is better to use less boxes for breakables and get more in them than to put one or two breakables in many boxes (they will get extra special attention this way)
  • Use lots of packing paper and pad the top and bottom of the box
  • Wrap individual pieces in packing paper
  • Use a "layering" method and separate layers periodically with thick paper
  • Fill the entire box before starting another box of china
  • Make sure items in box are secure and cannot rattle and move

  • Use a standard picture box or cover both sides with cardboard
  • Place packing paper along the sides and edges of the picture to prevent it from moving inside the box
  • Place no more than 3 or 4 pictures in one box
  • Keep the box right side up at all times
  • Place packing paper in between pictures

 Books pbookpk.gif (20008 bytes)

  • Use small book boxes
  • Reinforce the bottom of the box
  • Do not pack them so that they are too heavy to move

 

 

 

Electronics

  • Try to pack TVs, stereo components, computers, etc. in their original boxes
  • Label all of these boxes "FRAGILE"
