Mega Smart Packing Tips
The Golden Rule of Boxes
Use uniform-sized boxes, this will allow you to stack them stably. Use small boxes for heavy items (like books) and large boxes for lighter items (like bedding).
Avoid Common Mistakes
- Do not use plastic bags: They break easily, don’t ventilate, and can generate mold.
- Do not overload boxes: A box shouldn’t weigh more than you can lift.
- Do not leave empty spaces: Fill in the gaps with paper or bubble wrap to prevent them from crushing when stacked.
Special Care for Clothes
Use wardrobe boxes (with hangers). They are the best investment to avoid wrinkles and damage to dresses or suits, making packing a matter of seconds.
Labeling = Fewer Headaches
Number and list the contents on all four sides of each box using a black marker. If something is fragile, write it large. Remember to mark “this side up” on boxes containing mirrors, glasses, or TVs.
