Do not over-pack or under-pack boxes. Box weight should not exceed 50 pounds. Heavier items should go in smaller boxes and lightweight items should go in larger boxes.
Scrimping on box quality for you “special things” can be a disaster. Only use sturdy boxes for these special items. Over used and lightweight boxes will not provide adequate protection.
Use a permanent marker to label boxes. Mark the box with the name of the room that it should be placed at your new home. |
