  • Use uniform sizes of boxes and stack them shoulder high to maximize your total storage space.

  • Place frequently used items near the door and leave a walkway to the rear of the space.

  • Pack books flat to protect their spines. Books are heavy in bunches, pack in smaller cartons for easy lifting. Tape the boxes closed.

  • Store mirrors, windows and screens on edge, not flat. Crate them in a mirror pack if possible or package them individually with strong cardboard. Mark them so they won't accidentally be bumped or broken.

  • Take time when packing dishes and glasses. Place a layer of packing paper inside the bottom and top of cartons. 

  • Wipe the surface of bicycles, tools and other metal items with a slightly oily rag to prevent rusting.

  • Protect furniture and mattresses with cloth covers. Place a pallet or cardboard underneath. 

  • Make a complete list of all goods stored including brand names, product features and serial numbers. Keep the list in a safe place.
