- All empty spaces should be filled with crushed paper to avoid unnecessary movement.
- Always place heavy items on the bottom with the lightest items at the top.
- Plates should be wrapped individually, then wrapped in bundles of six.
- 5When placing bundles into cartons try keeping all of the items vertical, because the long side of the carton is it’s strongest side.
- Pack similar items together, avoid packing/contact between glassware and china etc.
- Antiques and valuables should ideally be bubble wrapped.
- Pack books into cardboard cartons, sorting books first by size will help reduce space and packing time.
