BOXING
We recommend that you invest in new boxes for safety, damage protection and efficiency. It is necessary for us to stack boxes like building blocks in the van. If one box collapses, the whole tier may suffer. We can carry much more at a time if you use new, uniform boxes.
Use strong boxes and containers that can be secured tightly. Purchase specialty boxes for dishes, art/mirrors, wardrobe and other odd shaped items.
Be sure to tape the bottom of each box to sufficiently bear the weight of its contents. For heavier boxes, cross the tape like a + to assure adequate support.
Be sure to stretch tape ¼ of the way up the side of the box for security.
Cushion contents with packing material such as bubble wrap, newspaper or tissue.
Wrap fragile items loosely a few times to create plenty of padding.
Be sure to fill empty spaces with crumbled newsprint to create a solid block. This prevents shifting and strengthens the unit for shipping.
Please see “How to Pack Lamps” tab for tips regarding packing lamps
CAPACITY
Avoid loading more than 50 pounds into one box. (Books should not be packed into a box with volume larger than 1.5 cubic feet.)
Pack heavier items first and then lighter/more fragile items toward the top of each box. Be sure to include a pad of packing material at the top of each box to prevent damage to breakables.
