How To Pack Most Common Items
Dishes Use a dishpak box.. For added protection, use a cell kit. Line the bottom of the box with the spingboard from the kit. Wrap each plate with several sheets of packing paper or a sheet of foam. Use dividers as necessary. For fine china we recommend using the DishSaver Kit. Each dish can be placed individually in its own foam pouch. |
Cups & Glasses Everyday cups and glasses may be wrapped with either paper or foam then placed inside each other (no more than 4). Use additional paper or foam to cushion box. For fine glassware and stemware, use a GlassPack Kit. Each glass can be placed individually in its own foam pouch. Do not place fine stemware inside each other. |
Knick Knacks Knick Knacks should be carefully wrapped in either plenty of packing paper or bubble wrap. Place a bed of paper on the bottom of the box. You can also use a GlassPack Kit for knick knacks if you wish. |
Electronics Electronic items should be wrapped in plenty of bubble
wrap (large cell) then placed in a box. Do not use loose fill or packing
peanuts as this can damage the sensitive circuitry. Load these boxes on top
of other soft items. |
Lamps Use a specially designed lamp box and line the box with bubble wrap. Remove the shade and bulb, wrap the cord around the base of the lamp. Fill the remainder of the box with packing paper or bubble. Lamp shades will fit nested together in a large box. |
Mirrors & Pictures Use a 2 piece mirror box. This box telescopes to 60" for longer mirrors. (The pieces can also be used individually for smaller pictures or mirrors). You can use a corner kit to protect the corners. Fill excess space with wrapping paper. |
Small Appliances Small kitchen appliances should be packed together. Wrap
each appliance individually with bubble wrap or foam sheeting and place it
in a box. A medium size box will work best for this. Fill excess space with
paper or bubble wrap. |
Clothing Use a hanging wardrobe box for easy moving and storing of
clothing. Simply remove the clothes, on their hangers, from your closet and
hang them on the bar in the box. You may also leave clothes in dresser
drawers. |
Refrigerator / Freezer Defrost & dry refrigerator then use the space inside to load pillows and other large lightweight items. Always move and store your refrigerator in an upright position as laying it on its side can cause serious damage. |
Books Use a small box for moving books. Any other size can get too heavy to carry. Pack the books flat in the box to prevent damage to the spines. |
Tables Remove all legs, if possible from the table and load tops on edge. If this is not possible, load table upside down ,on a pad, and load on top of it |
Garden Tools Tools with long handles such as shovel, rakes, etc, should be taped together. Coil hoses and connect the ends together. Take apart furniture and tape screws to bottom. |
