Moving Tips

Use only strong, corrugated cartons with covers. The added protection of mover-provided cartons may avoid damage that results from the use of poor-quality packing materials. Your alternative is to collect boxes discarded by your grocery or liquor store. Insect eggs and insects such as roaches can travel in food boxes. Keep this in mind when getting boxes from food stores.


Here's a list a packing supplies that will come in handy:

Plastic bags and labels for easy identification.

Tissue or craft paper for delicate packing jobs.

Corrugated paper rolls for figurines and fragile items.

Gummed tape (1 1/2 to 2 inches wide) and/or strong twine for sealing cartons.

Markers and labels for identifying contents of cartons.

Scissors and/or sharp knife.
